Why this home stands out
What sets 3920 Krick Street apart is its dual-base accessibility without the premium price tag that often follows. At 1,200 square feet on a residential lot in Norfolk, this 1940 property carries the solid bones of mid-century construction — think thick walls, established landscaping, and a neighborhood that has been lived-in and rooted for decades. Two full bathrooms in a three-bedroom home of this vintage is a genuine advantage, and the surrounding block reflects the kind of quiet, working-city character that is hard to replicate in newer developments.
ESTABROOK and the Norfolk real estate market
Krick Street sits in the 23513 zip code on Norfolk's south side, a part of the city where residential blocks and small commercial corridors exist side by side in a way that feels genuinely urban without being overwhelming. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast — home to the world's largest naval station, a revitalized downtown waterfront, and neighborhoods that range from Victorian-era to mid-century to contemporary. The 23513 corridor has a workaday, unpretentious character: neighbors know each other, streets are walkable to basics, and the commute grid fans out efficiently toward the region's major employers and bases. Families comparing homes for sale in 23513 will find that this zip code punches above its weight for daily convenience — groceries, parks, and fitness options are all within a mile. Norfolk's broader amenities, including the Chrysler Museum, MacArthur Center, and the Elizabeth River waterfront, are a short drive east.
What's nearby
Daily errands barely require a car from Krick Street.

For a quick bite, Hardee's and Greater Grinders Submarines are each about 0.3 miles out. Morning coffee is covered by the nearby 7-Eleven and Wawa at 0.5 miles. When it's time to move, North FoxHall FitLot Outdoor Fitness Park and the Salvation Army Kroc Center Hampton Roads are both under a mile, and North Foxhall Playground is right there at 0.9 miles for kids and weekend afternoons.
