Why this home stands out

What sets 801 Forbes Street apart is the rare combination of genuine early-20th-century architecture and a location that almost no other address in the zip code can match. Three full baths in a 1913 home is genuinely uncommon — most houses of this era were built with one. Add a footprint of nearly 2,000 square feet and you have a property that delivers period character without the usual space trade-offs that come with older homes.

CHESTERFIELD HEIGHTS and the Norfolk real estate market

Chesterfield Heights is one of Norfolk's most established residential pockets — a grid of tree-lined streets where early-1900s craftsman and colonial revival homes sit shoulder to shoulder, each with its own story. The neighborhood has the kind of settled, unhurried feel that newer subdivisions spend decades trying to develop. Sidewalks connect you to corner stores and neighbors who actually wave. Norfolk itself wraps around Chesterfield Heights with everything a city of this scale offers: a working waterfront, a thriving arts scene in the NEON District, and the kind of diverse restaurant culture that keeps locals from ever running out of options. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often find that older, inner-city neighborhoods like this one offer square footage and lot character that newer construction simply cannot replicate at the same price point. The 23504 zip code sits at the geographic heart of the city, which means commutes radiate outward efficiently in every direction.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy from Forbes Street. Grocery runs are straightforward with a Food Lion less than a mile away, and a Walmart Supercenter is within a short drive for bigger hauls. Tidewater Community College's Norfolk campus is close by, making this a practical address for households with students or faculty. MacArthur Center and the Waterside District give you downtown dining and retail within ten minutes. Lafayette Park and the Lafayette River are reachable for weekend walks and outdoor time. For coffee, several independent cafés along Colley Avenue are a quick hop north. Pharmacies and urgent care clinics serving the 23504 corridor are well within a five-minute drive.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Four minutes to USCG Base Portsmouth and four minutes to Norfolk Naval Shipyard — it's hard to find a civilian address with that kind of dual-base access anywhere in Hampton Roads. A VA loan pairs naturally with a home like this: solid bones, three full baths for a busy household, and a neighborhood that has housed military families for generations. Short commutes mean more time at home.

For buyers drawn to character

If you're drawn to homes that have actual history — plaster walls, original woodwork, proportions that modern builders stopped using a century ago — 801 Forbes Street deserves a close look. Built in 1913, this Chesterfield Heights property carries the architectural DNA of early Norfolk, and three full baths mean you don't have to sacrifice modern livability to own something genuinely old and genuinely interesting.
