Why this home stands out
What sets 402 Ashlawn Drive apart is the combination of genuine vintage character — an 82-year-old home with the solid bones that era is known for — and an almost unbeatable position relative to Naval Station Norfolk. Four bedrooms and 2.5 baths in 1,833 square feet gives you real flexibility, whether that means a dedicated home office, a guest room, or space for a growing household. The lot and property type offer breathing room you simply don't find in newer townhome developments nearby.
MONTICELLO VILLAGE and the Norfolk real estate market
402 Ashlawn Drive sits in a residential pocket of Norfolk, Virginia, where mid-century homes line quiet streets and neighbors tend to know each other's names. The area has the unhurried feel of an established community — mature trees, modest front yards, sidewalks that actually get used — without feeling frozen in time. Norfolk itself is one of the most dynamic cities on the East Coast, anchored by one of the world's largest naval complexes and layered with arts venues, waterfront dining, and a genuinely diverse food scene. The Ashlawn Drive corridor feeds naturally into the broader north Norfolk grid, putting you close to the Granby Street corridor and the energy of the Ghent and Ocean View neighborhoods without the premium price tags those zip codes carry. If you're searching for homes near Naval Station Norfolk, this address consistently surfaces as one of the more practical and well-located options in the 23505 zip code.
