Why this home stands out
What sets 833 Tifton Street apart is its unbeatable proximity to Naval Station Norfolk and MARFORCOM Norfolk — eight and nine minutes, respectively — combined with a walkable cluster of restaurants, groceries, and fitness options right outside the door. For a mid-century home under 1,100 square feet, the two full baths are a genuine advantage, and the 1954 construction gives the property a solid, established-neighborhood feel that newer infill simply can't replicate.
CHESAPEAKE MANOR and the Norfolk real estate market
Tifton Street sits in the 23513 zip code on Norfolk's east side, a working-class residential corridor that has anchored families and service members for generations.

Families comparing Norfolk homes for sale will find that the 23513 area offers a rare combination — fast base access, everyday walkability, and a price point that leaves room to make a home your own. The city's network of parks, community centers, and local businesses gives this corner of Norfolk a neighborhood identity that residents tend to hold onto long-term.
