Why this home stands out

Built in 1933, this home carries the charm of its era while offering modern three-bath convenience. The floor plan spans 2,568 square feet across three bedrooms. Ocean View Avenue runs along the water, giving the neighborhood a distinct maritime feel. You'll find yourself steps from the fishing pier, local beaches, and water views that define this part of Norfolk. The location puts Naval Station Norfolk within a four-minute commute.

WILLOUGHBY BEACH and the Norfolk real estate market

Ocean View is Norfolk's waterfront neighborhood, where tree-lined streets meet the Elizabeth River and the Chesapeake Bay beyond. The character here is unpretentious and community-focused—locals walk to the pier for dinner, kayak from the beach, and know their neighbors. Housing stock ranges from early 1900s cottages to mid-century homes, many with water views or water access. Norfolk itself is Virginia's largest city, a working waterfront town with naval heritage woven into daily life. Getting around is straightforward: Ocean View Avenue connects you to downtown Norfolk in about ten minutes by car. If you're comparing homes for sale in Norfolk, note that this zip code offers the rare combination of walkable waterfronts and short commutes to major employers. Anyone considering homes for sale in 23503 will find this neighborhood distinct—quieter than downtown, more established than the suburbs.

What's nearby

The fishing pier and Ocean View Yoga sit less than a mile away, anchoring the neighborhood's recreational life. Charles Hughes Maritime Forest and Sarah Constant Beach Park offer green space and water access within walking distance. Dining ranges from casual—7-Eleven and Ocean View Fishing Pier Restaurant are both under a mile—to more refined options like Swell Charcoal Grill and Raw Bar. Grocery shopping is easy: Beach Bay Mart, Harris Teeter, and Dollar General cluster within a mile. Coffee is never far; Mudita Cafe & Bar and multiple 7-Eleven locations serve the neighborhood.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Naval Station Norfolk sits four minutes away by car, and MARFORCOM Norfolk is five minutes. VA loan financing is standard in this zip code, and the quick commute means less time away from home. The 1933 home has three full baths and established systems throughout.

Room to grow

Three bedrooms and three full baths give you space to spread out without the sprawl of a larger footprint. The 2,568-square-foot layout works well for households that need distinct zones—home office, guest room, primary suite. Ocean View Avenue's tree-lined character and walkable access to parks and the pier add outdoor living without a massive yard to maintain.

Property elevation is sampled from a single point on the parcel using the USGS National Map elevation service — actual elevations across a single property can vary by several feet higher or lower than the figure shown.
