Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

This unit sits in a residential tower with the kind of location that defines Norfolk homes for sale near the water. You're minutes from two major military installations and the energy of downtown. The floor plan offers three full baths—uncommon in the condo market—plus a layout that works for remote work, entertaining, or quiet weekends. High-rise living means no yard maintenance and often lower utility costs.

FREEMASON HARBOUR and the Norfolk real estate market

College Place sits in the heart of Norfolk's downtown waterfront district, where older residential towers meet modern mixed-use development. The neighborhood has a quieter, more established feel than the newer projects nearby. You'll find tree-lined streets, water views from upper floors, and easy foot traffic to coffee shops, restaurants, and the Elizabeth River Park Trail. Norfolk itself is a mid-size city with real neighborhoods—each one distinct. Downtown is walkable and connected; if you drive, you're minutes to the interstate. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Norfolk will notice the city's blend of naval heritage, cultural venues, and genuine waterfront character. The 23510 zip code anchors this downtown core. Homes for sale in 23510 tend to offer that rare mix of urban convenience and residential calm.

What's nearby

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is a one-minute drive. USCG Base Portsmouth is two minutes away. The Elizabeth River Park Trail runs along the water nearby—perfect for walking or jogging. Downtown Norfolk's restaurant row is a short walk. The Chrysler Museum of Art and Scope arena are within a few minutes' drive. Grocery and pharmacy options are close by on Granby Street and in the downtown corridor.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

One minute to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and two minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth makes this a rare urban option for active-duty and civilian personnel. VA loan financing is common in this zip code. The condo requires no yard work—a practical choice for frequent transfers or demanding schedules. Three full baths and separate living spaces let everyone maintain their own morning routine.

For buyers drawn to character

High-rise waterfront living in a 1986 tower brings authentic urban character without the newness tax. You're steps from the Elizabeth River and the city's cultural core. The neighborhood has real history—genuine downtown, not a developer's recreation. Three full baths and nearly 2,500 square feet let you spread out while staying connected to the street-level energy below.
