At 2,552 square feet, 6246 Grimes Avenue delivers the kind of room-to-grow footprint that's genuinely hard to find in this zip code — four bedrooms, two full baths, and a mid-century bones that rewards buyers who want space to put their own stamp on a solid, established property. The lot sits in a mature Norfolk neighborhood where streets are quiet and neighbors tend to stay for years.

LAKELAND HOMES and the Norfolk real estate market

Grimes Avenue sits in the northeastern corner of Norfolk, a city that punches well above its weight for livability. The surrounding blocks have the unhurried feel of a neighborhood that grew up in the postwar era and has held its character ever since — mature trees, single-family homes on real lots, and a sense of permanence you don't always find closer to the water. Norfolk itself threads together military heritage, a thriving arts scene, and a waterfront downtown that keeps earning new restaurants and venues. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often land in this part of the city precisely because it offers easy access to two major bases without the congestion of the Oceanfront corridors. The 23518 zip code is a practical sweet spot: you're close to everything but the streets around you stay calm.
