Why this home stands out
Homes built in 1914 don't come along every day, and 1301 W 38th Street wears its age well. The bones of a century-old Norfolk residence — think real wood, real proportions, real craftsmanship — pair here with a location that's genuinely hard to beat: two military bases within six minutes, a park two blocks away, and a walkable stretch of shops and cafés right outside the door.
LAMBERTS POINT and the Norfolk real estate market
Lambert's Point sits on a peninsula in northwestern Norfolk, bordered by the Lafayette River and the Elizabeth River tributaries, giving the neighborhood a distinct water-adjacent identity without the waterfront price tag. Streets here are lined with early-twentieth-century homes, and the community has a lived-in, unhurried feel that's increasingly rare among norfolk va homes this close to downtown. The area draws a mix of longtime residents, ODU-affiliated households, and military families who appreciate the short commute corridors heading south toward Portsmouth. Norfolk itself is a city of genuine variety — craft breweries, a world-class botanical garden, a working waterfront, and a performing arts scene — and Lambert's Point puts you close to all of it while keeping the neighborhood scale small and walkable. Granby Street, Ghent's galleries, and the Naro Expanded Cinema are all reachable in under fifteen minutes.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are genuinely easy from W 38th Street. Serina Cafe, Lin's Garden, and Dunkin' are all within two-tenths of a mile for quick meals or morning coffee, and FR8 House Coffee Co. is just a short walk further if you prefer a sit-down pour-over. Groceries are covered by Food Lion and The Fresh Market, both under a mile away. For a midday reset, 37th Street Park is practically at your doorstep, and the Weyanoke Bird and Wildflower Sanctuary offers a surprisingly serene nature escape just four-tenths of a mile out. StretchLab, Club Pilates, and the University Fitness Center round out the wellness options nearby.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is a five-minute drive from 1301 W 38th Street, and USCG Base Portsmouth is just six minutes out — making this address one of the more commute-friendly options in the area for active-duty households. A VA loan can make ownership here straightforward, and BAH rates in the Hampton Roads area are well-suited to this part of Norfolk.
For buyers drawn to character
If you're drawn to homes that have actual history — plaster walls, original proportions, a front porch with a story — 1301 W 38th Street is worth a close look. Built in 1914, it's part of a Lambert's Point streetscape where the architecture still reflects the era it came from. You're not buying a house that was built to look old; you're buying one that genuinely is.
