Why this home stands out
Built in 2010, this home skips the quirks of older Norfolk stock — think tighter construction, modern mechanicals, and a layout designed for how people actually live today. At 1,552 square feet across three bedrooms and two and a half baths, the floor plan balances private space with open flow. The half-bath on the main level is the kind of practical detail that matters once you're living there, and the relatively recent build year means fewer surprises down the road.
ALL OTHERS AREA 12 and the Norfolk real estate market
752 Washington Avenue sits in a central Norfolk corridor that punches well above its zip code in terms of walkability and character. The blocks here have a lived-in, community feel — tree-lined streets, a mix of housing eras, and neighbors who actually know each other. Crispus Attucks Park is a short three-tenths of a mile away, and Huntersville Park and Martin Luther King Jr Plaza are both within four-tenths of a mile, giving you genuine green space without a drive. Norfolk as a city rewards people who explore it: a waterfront downtown, a thriving arts scene, and one of the most diverse food cultures on the East Coast are all within easy reach. The 23505 zip code in particular has been drawing attention from buyers who want proximity to Portsmouth's military corridor without paying Ghent prices. If you're looking for a home that connects you to the best of Norfolk without isolating you in a suburban pocket, Washington Avenue delivers that balance.
