525 E Freemason St #2b, Norfolk, VA 23510

Why this home stands out

What sets this address apart is the rare combination of downtown Norfolk walkability and near-instant access to two major military installations. At 1,343 square feet, this 2005-built condo gives you genuine living space — not a cramped city unit — while putting Freemason Street's historic corridor, waterfront parks, and a dense cluster of restaurants and coffee shops within a short stroll. For anyone who wants urban convenience without sacrificing square footage, this address delivers.

DOWNTOWN AREA and the Norfolk real estate market

Freemason Street sits at the quieter, more residential edge of downtown Norfolk — a neighborhood of brick sidewalks, mature trees, and 19th-century architecture that gives the area a distinct sense of place. The street itself has long been one of Norfolk's most recognized addresses, running through a corridor where historic homes and modern condos coexist comfortably. You're close enough to the Granby Street energy and the Elizabeth River waterfront to enjoy them on a whim, but the immediate block feels unhurried. Norfolk as a city is the cultural and commercial anchor of Hampton Roads, home to a world-class performing arts scene, a thriving restaurant culture, and one of the largest naval complexes on the East Coast. Living at 525 E Freemason St #2B means you're not just in Norfolk — you're in the part of Norfolk that people in the suburbs drive to visit on weekends.
