504 N Shore Rd, Norfolk, VA 23505

Why this home stands out

What sets 504 N Shore Road apart is its rare combination of wartime-era character and unbeatable proximity to Naval Station Norfolk — five minutes, door to gate. Wexford Terrace is a tight-knit, tree-lined neighborhood where mid-century homes line streets that actually feel like a neighborhood. The 0.17-acre lot gives you genuine outdoor space without an overwhelming yard, and the two full baths make daily routines far smoother for a household of three.

WEXFORD TERRACE and the Norfolk real estate market

Wexford Terrace sits in the northern tier of Norfolk, tucked between the Granby Street corridor and the Lafayette River basin. It's the kind of neighborhood where neighbors wave from porches and the streets have a settled, lived-in quality that newer subdivisions simply can't replicate. Homes here were largely built in the 1940s and carry the hallmarks of that era — solid construction, modest footprints, and mature trees overhead. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast, home to the world's largest naval station, a thriving arts scene centered on the NEON District, and a waterfront that stretches from the Elizabeth River to the Chesapeake Bay. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often land in Wexford Terrace precisely because it threads the needle: close enough to everything, quiet enough to exhale. The 23505 zip code covers a swath of north Norfolk that consistently draws buyers who want real neighborhood texture alongside genuine urban convenience.
