Why this home stands out

Built in 1921, this multi-family property carries the bones and charm of an earlier era. The location on West 28th Street puts you in an established neighborhood with real foot traffic and community life. Close proximity to two military medical facilities and a mix of local businesses create steady demand and neighborhood stability.

PARK PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market

West 28th Street runs through a vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood where older homes sit alongside active storefronts and gathering spaces. The block has character—trees, varied architecture, and neighbors who know each other. Norfolk itself is a major city with deep military roots, a working waterfront, and easy routes to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and USCG Base Portsmouth. Getting around is straightforward: major arterials connect you to downtown, the waterfront, and the broader Hampton Roads area. If you're comparing homes for sale in 23508, you'll notice this zip code blends residential blocks with commercial energy. Schools and parks anchor the neighborhood, and the walkable street-level keeps daily life close.

Groceries are simple: NuLand Hot Stuff Company, Food Lion, and Dollar General all sit within half a mile. Torch Yoga Norfolk, Tidewater Gymnastics Academy, and tennis courts at Lafayette Park give you fitness options without a long drive.
