Why this home stands out
What sets 3126 Humboldt Street apart is its rare dual-base convenience — JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and USCG Base Portsmouth are each just nine minutes out, making this one of the more strategically located addresses in the city for service members. Add in a 1,600-square-foot floor plan with three bedrooms, two full baths, and the quiet character of a 1963-built Elmhurst home, and you have a property that checks a lot of practical boxes without sacrificing neighborhood warmth.
ELMHURST and the Norfolk real estate market
Elmhurst is one of those Norfolk neighborhoods that flies under the radar but rewards the people who find it. The streets are lined with mid-century homes — most built in the late 1950s and early 1960s — giving the area a cohesive, established feel that newer subdivisions rarely match. Neighbors tend to put down roots here, and that stability shows in how well the blocks are kept. If you're looking to buy house Norfolk without paying a premium for a trendier zip code, Elmhurst offers real value in a city that continues to grow and invest in its infrastructure. Norfolk itself is a dynamic place to live — a working waterfront city with a strong military presence, a revitalized downtown, and a food and arts scene that punches above its weight. From Elmhurst, you're well-positioned to access all of it, whether that's a quick drive to the Oceanfront, a commute to one of the region's major bases, or an evening out in the NEON arts district.
