Why this home stands out
What sets 3432 Herbert Street apart is its combination of manageable size and smart location. At 1,512 square feet across three bedrooms and two full baths, the floor plan gives everyone breathing room without the upkeep of an oversized home. Built in 2000, the structure hits a sweet spot — modern enough for solid construction standards, established enough to sit in a mature, settled neighborhood. Add a sub-ten-minute commute to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and you have a home that genuinely works for the way people actually live.
BRANDON PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market
Herbert Street sits in the eastern reaches of Norfolk, a city that punches well above its weight when it comes to character. This part of Norfolk has a lived-in, unpretentious feel — streets lined with homes from the late twentieth century, neighbors who wave from the porch, and a pace that's a little slower than the waterfront districts to the north. The surrounding blocks are residential through and through, which means quiet evenings are the norm rather than the exception. Norfolk itself is one of the anchor cities of Hampton Roads, home to the world's largest naval station and a downtown that has steadily reinvented itself with restaurants, breweries, and arts venues. From Herbert Street you're well-positioned to enjoy all of it — close enough to tap into the city's energy, far enough removed to come home to something calm. The zip code, 23513, places you in a part of Norfolk that's genuinely convenient without the premium price tag of the waterfront neighborhoods.

Dunkin' is right there at 0.4 miles for the morning coffee run. Green space is easy to reach too: Five Points Neighborhood Spot is half a mile out, and Azalea Acres Neighborhood Park is just a mile away for weekend walks or letting kids burn off energy.
