Why this home stands out

What makes 573 Ocean View Ave stand out is the combination of century-old character and a location that's genuinely hard to beat. Built in 1921, the home carries the kind of architectural bones you simply don't find in newer construction — and at 1,600 square feet across three bedrooms and three full baths, there's real, livable space here. Add a five-minute drive to Naval Station Norfolk and walkable beach access, and this address checks boxes that most Norfolk properties can't.

WILLOUGHBY BEACH and the Norfolk real estate market

Ocean View is one of Norfolk's most distinctive waterfront corridors — a stretch of the city where the Chesapeake Bay shapes daily life in the best possible way. The neighborhood has a relaxed, community-forward personality: beach parks within walking distance, local restaurants along the water, and a mix of longtime residents and newer arrivals who all seem to share an appreciation for the outdoors. Norfolk itself is a city of real depth — a major military hub, a working waterfront, and a growing arts and dining scene that extends well beyond Ocean View. The East Ocean View section, where 573 Ocean View Ave sits, offers that rare combination of neighborhood feel and city convenience. You're close enough to downtown Norfolk to enjoy everything it offers, yet far enough away that the pace feels genuinely unhurried. For anyone using a VA loan, the proximity to Naval Station Norfolk makes this part of the city especially practical.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy from 573 Ocean View Ave. Groceries are covered by Harris Teeter and Beach Bay Mart, both within a mile, with a Dollar General nearby for quick runs. When you're ready to eat out, Ocean View Fishing Pier Restaurant and Swell Charcoal Grill and Raw Bar are both under a mile away — solid local options with real neighborhood character. Mudita Cafe & Bar handles your coffee needs at 0.9 miles, and Ocean View Yoga is right there too. For outdoor time, Charles Hughes Maritime Forest, Local Beach, and Sarah Constant Beach Park are all within a short walk or bike ride.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Five minutes to Naval Station Norfolk and six minutes to MARFORCOM Norfolk — 573 Ocean View Ave is about as well-positioned as a Hampton Roads address gets for active-duty families. A VA loan fits this property type well, and with beach parks and everyday essentials all within a mile, the lifestyle here supports the kind of stability military families are looking for between deployments and PCS cycles.

For buyers drawn to character

If you're drawn to homes with a genuine story, 573 Ocean View Ave delivers. Built in 1921, it carries more than a century of Norfolk history in its bones — the kind of architectural detail and craftsmanship that newer builds simply don't replicate. Three bedrooms, three full baths, and a walkable beach neighborhood make it as livable as it is interesting.
