Why this home stands out
What sets 527 Ashlawn Drive apart is the rare combination of walkable convenience and military-base proximity that's hard to match in this price tier of Norfolk real estate. Groceries are literally 0.1 miles away, a Planet Fitness is two blocks out, and two major bases are under ten minutes by car — all wrapped in a quiet, established neighborhood that's been around since the 1940s.
OAKDALE FARMS and the Norfolk real estate market
Oakdale Farms is one of those Norfolk neighborhoods that quietly does everything right. The streets are lined with mid-century homes that carry real character — think solid construction from an era when builders weren't cutting corners — and the community has a settled, lived-in feel that newer subdivisions simply can't replicate. Neighbors here tend to put down roots, and it shows in the well-kept lots and familiar faces. Situated in the northern part of the city, Oakdale Farms places you close to the water, close to the bases, and close to the everyday conveniences that make life easier. For anyone exploring norfolk real estate with an eye toward value and location, this neighborhood consistently punches above its weight. Norfolk itself is a city with genuine energy — a working waterfront, a growing arts scene, and a deep military heritage that shapes the culture in the best ways. The 23505 zip code sits in a particularly practical corridor of the city, giving you quick access to both Interstate 64 and the base gates without the congestion of downtown.
What's nearby
Daily errands at 527 Ashlawn Drive are almost embarrassingly easy. Watergate 7, Food Lion, and LA K-TRACHITA STORE are all within 0.1 miles, so a last-minute grocery run takes minutes, not a trip. When you want to eat out, El Sabor K-tracho and Maya Restaurant are right there in the same stretch. Panera Bread and Tropical Smoothie Cafe are 0.3 miles out for your morning routine. Planet Fitness is 0.2 miles away for a quick workout, with Somnium CrossFit and Box-N-Go Boxing Gym offering alternatives nearby. Pennstock Triangle and Village Park are both within half a mile, and the Northside Park Mountain Bike Trail is under a mile for weekend rides.
