Why this home stands out
Built in 2018, this home sidesteps the maintenance guesswork that comes with older Norfolk stock. You're getting contemporary construction — think current building codes, modern mechanicals, and up-to-date finishes — wrapped inside a walkable, character-rich city neighborhood. Four bedrooms and three full baths across 2,110 square feet gives everyone room to spread out without the sprawl of a far-flung suburb.
HIGHLAND PARK and the Norfolk real estate market
West 43rd Street sits in a part of Norfolk where older tree-lined blocks and newer infill construction coexist comfortably. The surrounding area has a genuine neighborhood feel — front porches, sidewalks, and a mix of long-time residents and newer families who chose city living deliberately. Norfolk itself is one of Hampton Roads' most dynamic cities, shaped by its waterfront identity, deep military ties, and a downtown core that keeps adding reasons to visit. Ghent, one of the region's most beloved urban districts, is a short drive away, bringing with it independent restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and weekend farmers markets. The city's broader street grid makes it easy to move around without highway dependence, and the proximity to both the Elizabeth River and the Chesapeake Bay means water is never far from daily life. For anyone considering a VA loan, Norfolk's range of price points and property types makes it one of the more flexible markets in the region.
What's nearby
Day-to-day errands are straightforward from this address. Grocery options, pharmacies, and everyday retail are all within a short drive, and the broader Colley Avenue and 21st Street corridors in Ghent add dining and coffee variety close to home. Larchmont-Edgewater neighborhood parks offer green space nearby, and the Lafayette River is accessible for walking and recreation. Downtown Norfolk's Waterside District, MacArthur Center, and the Chrysler Museum of Art are all reachable in under fifteen minutes, giving weekends real range.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is roughly five minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth sits about seven — making 850 W 43rd Street one of the more commute-friendly addresses in the area for active-duty households. A VA loan pairs naturally with a 2018-built home like this one: fewer repair surprises during the appraisal process and a property that tends to sail through VA inspection requirements.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and three full baths give a growing household real flexibility — a dedicated guest room, a home office, or a playroom without anyone doubling up. The 2018 construction means you're inheriting a home that was built to current standards, so the early years of ownership are less about fixing and more about living. At 2,110 square feet, there's genuine room to grow.
