Our read on this home

At a glance

Meet 3500 Vimy Ridge Ave — a 1942-built, 3-bedroom, 2.1-bath home on a generous 0.21-acre lot in Norfolk's Willard Park neighborhood. At 1,600 square feet, it offers classic mid-century bones, a walkable location, and a quick drive to two major military installations.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 3500 Vimy Ridge Ave apart is the combination of a sizable lot — 0.21 acres in an established neighborhood — with genuinely short commutes to both Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and USCG Base Portsmouth. Homes with this much outdoor space, this close to two installations, and with grocery and dining options literally steps away are a rarer find in the Norfolk market than most buyers expect.

WILLARD PARK and the Norfolk real estate market

Willard Park is one of Norfolk's quietly solid residential neighborhoods — the kind of place where the tree canopy is mature, the streets are calm, and neighbors tend to stay for years. The housing stock here dates largely from the 1930s through the 1950s, giving the area a consistent, unhurried character that newer subdivisions rarely replicate. Lots are real-sized, driveways are actual driveways, and you're never fighting for space. When people decide to buy a house in Norfolk, Willard Park often surprises them — it delivers neighborhood depth without the premium of higher-profile zip codes. Norfolk itself sits in the independent city jurisdiction of Norfolk, Virginia, meaning it operates outside any surrounding county structure. The city is the cultural and military hub of Hampton Roads, home to world-class waterfront, a thriving arts scene, and one of the most significant naval complexes on the East Coast. Willard Park puts you close to all of it while keeping daily life grounded and manageable.

What's nearby

Daily errands are genuinely easy from 3500 Vimy Ridge Ave. A Food Lion is just 0.2 miles away, so a quick grocery run never turns into a production. Chen's Kitchen Chinese Restaurant is also within 0.2 miles for a fast weeknight dinner, and Golden Gate Restaurant is only 0.3 miles out when you want to mix it up. Chesapeake Athletic Club is 0.3 miles away — close enough that skipping a workout becomes harder to justify. When you want some fresh air, Lakewood Park is 0.6 miles away, and Shoop Park is under a mile. Forkin' to Fitness LLC rounds out the health-focused options nearby at 0.6 miles. Provision Pros Inc adds another grocery option at 0.5 miles. This is a neighborhood where most of what you need on a daily basis is genuinely within reach.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is a 7-minute drive from 3500 Vimy Ridge Ave, and USCG Base Portsmouth is just 8 minutes out — making this address one of the more commute-friendly options in the area for active-duty households. VA loan eligibility can stretch further on a home with this much lot space and square footage. BAH rates for the Portsmouth/Norfolk area align well with what homes in Willard Park typically represent.

For first-time buyers

If you're buying your first home, Willard Park offers something valuable: a real neighborhood with real character, not a cookie-cutter development. The 1942 construction means solid bones and a distinct look. At 1,600 square feet on a 0.21-acre lot, you get meaningful space without overextending. Groceries, parks, and dining are all within walking distance, which makes the day-to-day feel manageable from the moment you move in.
