7005 Old Mill Rd, Norfolk, VA 23518

Why this home stands out

What makes 7005 Old Mill Road stand out is pure location math: two major military installations within ten minutes, a walkable cluster of groceries and fitness options just down the street, and a quiet residential street that has anchored this corner of Norfolk for nearly seven decades. The 1956 ranch footprint keeps things manageable — 1,080 square feet, three bedrooms, and a half-bath on top of the full — without the overhead of a sprawling property.

LARRYMORE LAWNS and the Norfolk real estate market

Old Mill Road sits in the northeastern reaches of Norfolk, a city that punches well above its size when it comes to military infrastructure, waterfront character, and everyday convenience. The immediate blocks have the unhurried feel of a mid-century neighborhood that never got bulldozed and rebuilt — mature trees, modest lots, neighbors who wave. You're close enough to the bay corridor to feel the coastal air without paying waterfront premiums. Norfolk itself wraps around Naval Station Norfolk and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story, making it one of the most military-connected cities on the East Coast, and the 23518 zip code puts you squarely in the northeastern quadrant where commutes to both bases are genuinely short. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often land in this zip precisely because the drive times work in every direction — base, downtown, and the beach.
