Why this home stands out
Most homes near Naval Station Norfolk are decades old — 726 Mayfield Ave is different. Completed in 2020, it brings current construction standards, modern layouts, and updated systems to a location that's hard to beat. Four bedrooms and 2.5 baths across 2,000 square feet means there's real room to spread out, and you're not inheriting someone else's deferred maintenance on a forty-year-old house.
COLONIAL HEIGHTS and the Norfolk real estate market
Mayfield Avenue sits in the northeastern corner of Norfolk, a section of the city that quietly punches above its weight. The streets here are residential and grounded — this isn't a flashy waterfront enclave, but it's a real, lived-in neighborhood with easy access to everything that makes Norfolk work as a city. Northside Park is just down the road, offering open green space within easy walking distance. The broader Norfolk fabric means you're never far from the Elizabeth River waterfront, the restaurants and nightlife of Ghent or Downtown, or the beaches of Ocean View. Norfolk itself is one of the most strategically located cities on the East Coast — home to the world's largest naval base, a growing arts scene, and a genuinely diverse mix of housing stock. The 23518 zip code places you on the north side, which keeps your commutes short and your options open.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are covered close to home. Coaster Coffee is 0.3 miles away when you need a morning cup without a long detour. Mom & Pops Family Restaurant, also 0.3 miles out, is the kind of neighborhood spot worth knowing about. Quick-stop needs are handled by the 7-Eleven just 0.2 miles away, and a BP, Dollar General, and Amoco are all within 0.4 miles for those grab-and-go moments. Northside Park — along with Shelters 4 and 5 — is a short walk away, giving you accessible green space for afternoons outside.
