Why this home stands out
What sets 810 S Main St apart is its rare proximity to both USCG Base Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard — each reachable in roughly a minute. Built in 2013, the home brings a decade-plus of modern construction standards to a city where older housing stock dominates. Three bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath give everyday life room to breathe across a compact but efficient 1,428 square feet.
BERKLEY and the Norfolk real estate market
810 S Main St sits in Norfolk, Virginia — a city of deep maritime history, a sprawling military footprint, and neighborhoods that each carry their own distinct personality. This corner of Norfolk places you close to the working waterfront and the industrial backbone that supports the largest naval complex in the world. The surrounding streets have a no-frills, practical character — this is a part of Norfolk where people come to live and work, not just pass through. Norfolk itself offers a full urban range: the Ghent arts district, the Granby Street corridor, NEON District galleries, and the Waterside District waterfront dining scene are all within a reasonable drive. City amenities — libraries, parks, recreation centers — are woven throughout. For a city its size, Norfolk punches well above its weight in culture, dining, and community programming, and 810 S Main St gives you a foothold in it.
What's nearby
Daily errands are straightforward from 810 S Main St. Grocery options, pharmacies, and fuel stations are clustered along nearby commercial corridors. Portsmouth's downtown waterfront — with its restaurants, coffee shops, and Elizabeth River Trail access — is just across the river and easily reachable. City Park and the surrounding green spaces offer outdoor breathing room. The Downtown Norfolk waterfront and its dining and entertainment options are a short drive north. For commuters not heading to the shipyard or Coast Guard base, Interstate 264 and the Downtown Tunnel connect you to the broader Hampton Roads region.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
For active-duty members stationed at USCG Base Portsmouth or Norfolk Naval Shipyard, it's hard to find a more commute-friendly address in Norfolk. A VA loan can make ownership here straightforward, and the 2013 build means you're not inheriting decades of deferred maintenance. Three bedrooms handle a growing family, and two and a half baths keep morning routines moving.
For first-time buyers
If you're stepping into homeownership for the first time, 810 S Main St offers a manageable footprint — 1,428 square feet — without sacrificing the three-bedroom layout that gives you flexibility for a home office, a guest room, or a growing household. Built in 2013, the systems and finishes are relatively modern, which means fewer surprises early on.
