3022 Herbert St, Norfolk, VA 23513

Why this home stands out

At 816 square feet, 3022 Herbert Street is the kind of home that rewards buyers who value location over square footage. Built in 1954, it carries the solid bones of mid-century construction — a period known for straightforward floor plans and durable materials. The lot gives you outdoor breathing room, and the surrounding block is quiet without feeling isolated. For buyers sizing up Norfolk homes for sale with an eye on commute times, this address delivers on two fronts: JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and USCG Base Portsmouth are each about nine minutes away.

ELMHURST and the Norfolk real estate market

Herbert Street sits in the 23513 zip code on Norfolk's east side, a workaday corner of the city where neighbors tend to know each other and daily errands stay close to home. The surrounding streets carry the low-key character of postwar Norfolk — modest lots, mature trees, and a mix of long-term residents and newcomers drawn by the area's no-fuss accessibility. Norfolk itself is one of the anchor cities of Hampton Roads, home to the world's largest naval station and a waterfront downtown that punches well above its size with live music venues, independent restaurants, and a growing arts scene. The 23513 corridor connects easily to Interstate 64, putting you within reach of Virginia Beach to the east and downtown Norfolk to the west in under twenty minutes. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often land here because the neighborhood delivers genuine convenience — groceries, parks, and food within a half-mile — without the price premium of the waterfront districts. It's a grounded, practical part of a city that has a lot more going on than outsiders expect.
