Why this home stands out
What sets 1424 Myrtle Ave apart is the combination of a mid-century footprint with a lot size that punches well above its weight. At 0.172 acres, there's genuine outdoor breathing room rarely found with homes this size in the area. Add a seven-minute commute to both Norfolk Naval Shipyard and USCG Base Portsmouth, and this address makes a compelling case for anyone who values proximity without sacrificing a real yard.
NORFOLK HIGHLANDS and the Chesapeake real estate market
Norfolk Highlands sits in the northern tier of Chesapeake, Virginia — a city that consistently draws buyers looking for a quieter pace without losing access to the broader Hampton Roads metro. The neighborhood carries the honest, unhurried character of a mid-century streetscape: modest lots, mature trees, and neighbors who tend to stay. If you've been working with realtors in chesapeake va to find something grounded and genuine rather than cookie-cutter, Norfolk Highlands tends to show up on that shortlist for good reason. Chesapeake itself spans a wide range of communities, from waterfront enclaves to wooded suburban stretches, and Norfolk Highlands occupies a practical sweet spot — close to Portsmouth and Norfolk employment corridors while still feeling residential. Streets here are quiet on weekday mornings, and the area has the kind of settled, established feel that newer subdivisions simply can't replicate.
What's nearby
Daily errands are straightforward from Myrtle Ave. Beasley's Farm is just 0.7 miles away for fresh and local grocery needs, and Lempira #2 is under a mile in the other direction. When you want a quick, no-fuss meal, Billy's Burgers and Dogs is only 0.6 miles from your front door. Green space is genuinely close — Plymouth Park is a half-mile walk, Blue Heron Landing Park is 0.7 miles, and Indian River Park North and Rokeby Center offers a broader outdoor destination at 0.6 miles. It's an easy neighborhood to move around in without always needing the car.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Seven minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard and seven minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth — it's rare to find an address this close to two major installations at once. For active-duty households managing unpredictable schedules, that commute buffer matters. A VA loan can make this size and price point especially accessible, and BAH rates in this zip code align well with what a home like this represents.
For first-time buyers
If you're exploring real estate listings in chesapeake va for the first time, 1424 Myrtle Ave offers a low-complexity entry point: a straightforward two-bedroom layout, a manageable 825 square feet, and a lot large enough to grow into.
