765 48th St, Norfolk, VA 23508

Why this home stands out

What sets 765 48th Street apart is the combination of substantial square footage — 3,810 feet across a 1920-built multi-family footprint — and a location that puts you within a short walk of local grocers, craft breweries, yoga studios, and green spaces. Properties with this much space and this much neighborhood energy in the 23508 zip code are genuinely rare. The bones are a century old; the block around it has never been more alive.

HIGHLAND PARK WEST and the Norfolk real estate market

The 23508 zip code sits in the heart of Norfolk, a city of roughly 240,000 anchored by one of the largest naval complexes in the world and a deeply layered urban culture. The stretch of Norfolk surrounding 48th Street blends early-twentieth-century residential architecture with an increasingly vibrant independent business scene — think craft breweries, neighborhood produce markets, and yoga studios all within a few blocks of a front porch. Rhode Island Circle and Delaware Circle give the area a parkway feel that softens the grid. Among homes for sale in Norfolk, addresses in this pocket stand out for how much daily life you can handle on foot. The city itself offers easy access to the Elizabeth River waterfront, the Chrysler Museum of Art, and a regional highway network that connects you to Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and the Peninsula without much effort.
