Why this home stands out

Built in 1940, this 1,220-square-foot home sits on a residential block with character and established trees. The layout offers three bedrooms and one bath—room to work with. You're close enough to Chesterfield Heights Park for a quick walk, yet far enough from the bustle to feel like a real neighborhood. Homes for sale in Norfolk at this price point and proximity to two major bases are worth your attention.

INGLESIDE and the Norfolk real estate market

Tennessee Avenue runs through a quiet, tree-lined section of Norfolk where neighbors know each other and the pace is easy. The streets are walkable, and local spots like Fat Boy Grill And Deli and 7-Eleven are within a mile. Two parks anchor the area: Chesterfield Heights Park sits just 0.6 miles away, and Ingleside Park is 0.8 miles out. Norfolk itself is a working waterfront city with deep military roots and a growing downtown. Getting around is straightforward—major roads connect you to the rest of the city and to bases quickly. If you're comparing homes for sale in 23502, you'll notice this zip code balances access with affordability. The neighborhood feels established and real, not trendy or overdone.

What's nearby

Fat Boy Grill And Deli is one mile away for a solid meal. 7-Eleven sits one mile off for coffee and quick stops. Chesterfield Heights Park is 0.6 miles—perfect for a walk or to let kids burn energy. Ingleside Park, 0.8 miles away, offers more green space and a playground. All of these places are close enough that you won't feel isolated, but far enough that the street stays quiet.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Seven minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard puts you close to two major commands. VA loan financing is common in this zip code, and the home's price and size make it a realistic move-in option. You'll have a short commute and enough space to settle in without a long search.

Room to grow

Three bedrooms and one bath give you room to grow without taking on a massive footprint. The 1940s layout is straightforward and efficient. A fenced yard or outdoor space lets you expand how you live. Storage and a single-bath setup mean you'll know every inch of the home.
