Why this home stands out

Built in 2020, this home skips the renovation math that older Norfolk properties often require. Four bedrooms and 2.1 baths give you real room to spread out. The half bath on the main level is a practical detail that adds up over time. At 2,145 square feet, the floor plan is generous without being oversized. Newer construction in the 23509 zip code is genuinely rare, and that makes this address stand out.

BALLENTINE PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market

Cape Henry Ave sits in a residential pocket of Norfolk where newer construction blends into an established street grid. The homes here tend to be well-kept, and the blocks feel grounded and lived-in. Broad Creek runs nearby, giving the area a natural edge that softens the urban density. Norfolk itself is one of the most connected cities in Hampton Roads. You can reach downtown Norfolk in about 15 minutes, and the waterfront is never far. The city's network of bridges and tunnels puts Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, and Chesapeake within easy reach. Anyone browsing homes for sale in Norfolk will notice that the 23509 zip code sits close to multiple interstates, making cross-city commutes practical. Public transit options run through the area as well. The neighborhood draws buyers who want a newer home without moving to the suburban fringe. Daily errands and green space are both within a short walk, which keeps car dependence low.

What's nearby

Fabio's Pizza & Delivery is just 0.1 miles away for a quick dinner. The Salvation Army Kroc Center Hampton Roads is also 0.1 miles out, offering a full gym and recreational programming. Broad Creek Park and Broad Creek Legacy Park are both 0.4 miles away, with open space for outdoor time. A Walmart Neighborhood Market at 0.3 miles handles everyday grocery runs. Wawa is 0.4 miles out for coffee and grab-and-go meals. Military Produce Group LLC at 0.7 miles rounds out the grocery options nearby.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

USCG Base Portsmouth is about six minutes away, and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is seven minutes out. VA loan financing is common among buyers in this zip code, and a 2020 build means inspections tend to go smoothly. The four-bedroom layout gives you options whether you need a home office or extra sleeping space. Buyers comparing homes for sale in 23509 will find this address checks a lot of boxes fast.

For first-time buyers

A 2020 build means the big-ticket systems — roof, HVAC, plumbing — are young. Four bedrooms and 2.1 baths give you more space than most first purchases offer at this property type. The Walmart Neighborhood Market is 0.3 miles away, and Broad Creek Park is a short walk. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Norfolk at this square footage will find the newer construction here hard to match.
