3517 Peronne Ave, Norfolk, VA 23509

Why this home stands out

What sets 3517 Peronne Ave apart is the combination of a relatively recent build year — 2003 — and a location that puts Naval Medical Center Portsmouth under seven minutes away. For a property this size in this part of Norfolk, that commute window is genuinely hard to beat. Add walkable groceries, neighborhood parks, and a half-bath beyond the two full baths, and the everyday math works out well.

FAIRMOUNT PARK and the Norfolk real estate market

Peronne Ave sits in the 23509 zip code on Norfolk's east side, a part of the city where older, established blocks mix with homes built in the early 2000s. The streets here have a settled, residential feel — not a brand-new subdivision, but a neighborhood with roots and neighbors who tend to stick around. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast, anchored by the world's largest naval station to the northwest and framed by the Elizabeth River and Chesapeake Bay. The 23509 corridor offers practical city living: you're close to major arterials that connect you to downtown Norfolk, Portsmouth via the tunnels, and the broader Hampton Roads metro without the congestion of living right on those corridors. It's the kind of address that rewards people who want urban convenience without urban noise.
