5718 Shenandoah Ave, Norfolk, VA 23509

Why this home stands out

Square footage this generous — 3,652 square feet across four bedrooms and five full baths — is genuinely rare among Norfolk homes for sale at this price tier. The 1966 construction gives the home a solid mid-century bones that larger, newer builds often lack: real room dimensions, defined living spaces, and the kind of layout that actually fits the way families live day to day.

LAKEWOOD and the Norfolk real estate market

Shenandoah Avenue sits in a mature, established section of Norfolk where tree-lined streets and mid-century homes give the area a grounded, lived-in character. This part of the city — zip code 23509 — has been a quietly steady corner of Norfolk for decades, popular with families and professionals who want real square footage without the commute chaos of the outer suburbs. Lafayette Park anchors the neighborhood's green space, and the Lafayette River corridor adds a natural backdrop that softens what is otherwise a well-connected urban grid. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically rich cities on the East Coast: home to the world's largest naval base, a thriving arts district along Granby Street, and a waterfront downtown that has seen genuine reinvestment over the past decade. If you are weighing homes for sale in Norfolk, this zip code delivers proximity to everything — bases, parks, dining, and downtown — without sacrificing elbow room.
