717 W 35th St, Norfolk, VA 23508

Why this home stands out

Built in 1919, this multi-family property carries more than a century of Norfolk history in its bones. The architecture reflects the craftsmanship of an era when homes were built to last, and the 1,680-square-foot footprint gives you genuine, usable space. What really sets 717 W 35th St apart is its position: deep inside a walkable, park-lined stretch of Norfolk with two military installations reachable in under ten minutes.

KENSINGTON and the Norfolk real estate market

West 35th Street sits in one of Norfolk's most quietly compelling corridors — a grid of early-twentieth-century homes, mature trees, and small neighborhood parks that give the area a grounded, lived-in feel. Carolina Circle is just a block away, and Meditation Park and Colonial Circle are both within a short walk, making this stretch genuinely green for an urban address. The blocks here have a mix of property types that reflects Norfolk's architectural range, from bungalows to duplexes, and the street itself has the kind of calm that's hard to find this close to two major military installations. Norfolk as a city rewards people who take the time to explore it — waterfront dining, Ghent's galleries and coffee shops, the Botanical Garden, and ODU's campus are all within a reasonable drive. If you're comparing homes for sale in Norfolk, the 23508 zip code punches above its weight for walkability and neighborhood character.
