5220 Kennebeck Ave, Norfolk, VA 23513

Why this home stands out

Multi-family properties from the early 1960s with 1,600 square feet of living space don't come along every day in this part of Norfolk. The bones here reflect mid-century construction — a period known for solid framing and practical layouts — and the location puts two major military installations within a 10-minute drive. Whether you're thinking owner-occupant or simply want a foothold in a city with deep military roots, Kennebeck Avenue checks real boxes.

ELMHURST and the Norfolk real estate market

5220 Kennebeck Avenue sits in a residential pocket of Norfolk, Virginia — a city that anchors the entire Hampton Roads region and carries one of the largest concentrations of military and federal assets on the East Coast. The surrounding streets have the feel of a working, lived-in neighborhood: modest lots, mature trees, and neighbors who've been around long enough to wave hello. Norfolk itself is a city of distinct micro-neighborhoods, and this address lands in a section that's close to the water without carrying waterfront prices. The Five Points area nearby adds a community gathering dimension, and the broader East Norfolk corridor connects you quickly to I-64, making the rest of Hampton Roads — Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Portsmouth — genuinely accessible. For anyone prioritizing commute efficiency alongside neighborhood character, the 23513 zip code delivers a practical middle ground.
