3116 Verdun Avenue Ave, Norfolk, VA 23509

Why this home stands out

A 1919-era home with three full baths is genuinely rare — most houses of that vintage were built with one. Add 1,667 square feet of living space, a location that puts two military installations within a seven-minute drive, and a block where a park is literally a two-minute walk away, and you have a combination that's hard to replicate anywhere else in the 23509 zip code. This is the kind of address that rewards buyers who know what they're looking at.

FAIRMOUNT PARK and the Norfolk real estate market

Verdun Avenue sits in a mature, established corner of Norfolk — a city that has been reinventing itself for decades without losing the gritty, waterfront authenticity that makes it worth living in. The surrounding streets are lined with early-twentieth-century homes, many of them well-maintained by long-term owners who take pride in the block. Shoop Park is 0.1 miles away, which means morning walks and afternoon fresh air are genuinely effortless. The neighborhood has the feel of a place where people actually know their neighbors. Norfolk's broader amenities — downtown dining, the waterfront, Scope Arena, and the cultural corridor along Granby Street — are all reachable without a highway. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often discover that this part of the city offers more square footage and more architectural character per dollar than newer suburban corridors. The 23509 zip code is central, connected, and underrated.
