COLONIAL PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market

This corner of Norfolk sits in a neighborhood rich with foot traffic and local flavor. Tree-lined streets connect you to parks, cafes, and restaurants within a few blocks. Carolina Circle and Meditation Park are right there for a quick break or a longer outing. The residential blocks hold a mix of ages and styles, giving the area an authentic, lived-in feel. Norfolk itself is a working waterfront city with naval heritage woven through every neighborhood. Getting around is straightforward—major corridors run north-south and east-west. You're close to downtown Norfolk's restaurants and shops, and the interstate is a short drive away if you need it.

For different buyers

Room to grow

Four bedrooms and two baths give you room to spread out. The 2,143 square feet opens up a home office, guest quarters, or hobby space.
