Why this home stands out
What sets 3525 Chesapeake Boulevard apart is the combination of generous mid-century square footage — 1,809 square feet across three bedrooms and two full baths — and a location that genuinely delivers on walkability. Restaurants, a gym, and quick-stop shops are all within a few blocks, while two major military installations sit less than ten minutes away by car. That's a rare pairing in this price corridor of Norfolk.
ESTABROOK and the Norfolk real estate market
Chesapeake Boulevard runs through one of Norfolk's more established residential corridors, where post-war bungalows and brick ranches line streets shaded by mature trees. The area carries the lived-in character that only decades of neighborhood history can produce — sidewalks, front porches, and a mix of long-time residents and newcomers who appreciate proximity to the water and the city core alike. Norfolk itself is a dynamic, waterfront-anchored city of roughly 240,000 people, home to the world's largest naval station and a downtown arts and dining scene that punches well above its weight. Getting around is straightforward: Interstate 264 and the Downtown Tunnel connect you west toward Portsmouth and Chesapeake, while Hampton Boulevard and Granby Street open up the rest of the city. Whether you're commuting to a base, heading to the Oceanfront, or just grabbing dinner downtown, 3525 Chesapeake Boulevard sits at a genuinely central point on the map.

Shoop Park and Five Points Neighborhood Spot are both about 0.9 miles away for weekend walks or outdoor time.
