Why this home stands out

The floorplan gives you four bedrooms and over 2,800 square feet—plenty of room without feeling sprawling. A 1986-built home in this neighborhood means solid bones and established trees on the block. You'll find yourself near enough to daily conveniences that you're never far from what you need, yet on a street that feels residential and calm.

HIGHLAND PARK and the Norfolk real estate market

West Norfolk is a neighborhood of tree-lined streets and single-family homes built across several decades. The blocks here mix architectural styles and lot sizes, creating a lived-in, genuine feel rather than a planned subdivision. Norfolk itself is Virginia's largest city, sitting where the Elizabeth River meets the harbor. Getting around is straightforward: major roads like Brambleton Avenue and Military Highway connect you to the rest of the city and beyond. If you're comparing Norfolk homes for sale, note that this zip code puts you close to both Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and the downtown corridor without the urban density. Schools zoned for homes for sale zoned for Kings Daughters Hosp. Ep. and homes for sale zoned for Larchmont Elementary School serve the area.

What's nearby

Miller's Neighborhood Market is a two-minute walk, and The Ten Top Market and Westside Produce and Provisions are just around the corner for groceries. Nash & Smashed, Halal Munchies, and Wings Go offer quick meals within a block. Voyager Coffee and Borjo Coffeehouse are nearby for your morning routine. For fitness, Universal Combat Center and GUD Yoga are a short walk away. Buckingham Place Apartments and Brick Field parks give you outdoor space to move around.
