Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 801 Fontaine Ave apart is the combination of genuine square footage and a location that almost nothing else in this zip code can replicate. Four bedrooms and three full baths in a 1967-built home means you get the solid construction of that era — real hardwood-era bones, generous room proportions — while sitting just seven minutes from USCG Base Portsmouth and eight minutes from Norfolk Naval Shipyard. That dual-base proximity is genuinely rare.

VENTOSA WEST and the Norfolk real estate market

Fontaine Ave sits in a mature, tree-lined section of Norfolk where mid-century ranch and split-level homes line quiet residential streets. The 23502 zip code has a lived-in, established feel — neighbors have roots here, yards are kept, and the pace is unhurried without feeling remote. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast: a working waterfront, a thriving arts district, world-class seafood, and a military presence that gives the city its unmistakable energy. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often discover that the 23502 corridor punches above its weight — you get city amenities without city congestion. Whether you're drawn to the waterfront dining of Ghent, the museums of downtown, or just a solid neighborhood where you can put down roots, Norfolk delivers. Daily life at this address is grounded and connected.

What's nearby

Three parks fall within a mile of the front door: Poplar Hall Park at 0.8 miles, Ingleside Park at 0.9 miles, and Lecove Park at 1.0 mile — an unusual concentration of green space that makes weekend mornings genuinely easy. If you're among those browsing homes for sale in 23502, that kind of walkable park access is worth factoring in. Beyond the parks, the broader Norview and Military Circle corridors put grocery stores, pharmacies, and everyday retail within a short drive, and Interstate 64 access keeps the rest of Hampton Roads well within reach.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Seven minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth and eight to Norfolk Naval Shipyard — 801 Fontaine Ave is one of the tighter commute windows you'll find for dual-base households. Four bedrooms handle PCS moves with room to spare, and VA loan eligibility makes the numbers work for qualifying buyers. This is the kind of address that comes up again and again when military families search Norfolk homes for sale.

Room to grow

Four bedrooms, three full baths, and 2,415 square feet give a growing family genuine room to spread out — separate spaces for work-from-home, homework, and guests all fit without compromise. Add three parks within a mile and you have the kind of address that families comparing homes for sale zoned for Booker T. Washington High School and homes for sale zoned for Ingleside Elementary School keep circling back to.
