Why this home stands out

What sets 3617 Herbert Street apart is its unbeatable proximity to both JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, making the daily commute genuinely short for active-duty households. Built in 1957, the home carries the solid, no-nonsense construction of mid-century Norfolk — a straightforward footprint on a manageable lot that keeps maintenance simple and lifestyle flexible.

BRANDON PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market

Herbert Street sits within a working-class residential pocket of Norfolk, Virginia — a city that punches well above its weight in terms of character, coastline, and community. Norfolk is home to the world's largest naval station and a genuinely diverse urban fabric that ranges from historic Ghent to the waterfront energy of the Oceanfront. This particular corner of the city, zip code 23513, is a quiet grid of mid-century homes where neighbors tend to know each other and the pace is decidedly unhurried. The streets here were built for families who wanted a solid roof, a manageable yard, and quick access to work — and that DNA hasn't changed much in the decades since. You're close enough to the action of downtown Norfolk and the broader Hampton Roads metro to enjoy it, but far enough removed to come home to something genuinely calm.

What's nearby

Daily errands are easy from Herbert Street. Grocery options, pharmacies, and fast-casual dining are all within a short drive along major corridors. Little Creek Road and Shore Drive connect you quickly to waterfront parks, local seafood spots, and the kind of low-key beach-town amenities that make Hampton Roads living distinctive. Naval Station Norfolk is also reachable in under 20 minutes, giving households with ties to multiple installations real flexibility. For green space, several city parks are within easy reach for weekend walks or afternoon downtime.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

With JEB Little Creek-Fort Story roughly nine minutes away and Naval Medical Center Portsmouth about ten, 3617 Herbert Street is genuinely well-positioned for active-duty households. A VA loan can make ownership here straightforward, and the short commute windows mean more time at home between deployments and duty days. It's a practical, low-overhead base for military life in Hampton Roads.

For first-time buyers

If you're stepping into homeownership for the first time, 3617 Herbert Street offers an accessible entry point into Norfolk's market. Three bedrooms, a full bath, and a manageable 864-square-foot footprint mean lower utility costs and simpler upkeep while you build equity. A VA loan could reduce your upfront costs significantly if you qualify — and this zip code's proximity to two major bases makes that worth exploring.
