Why this home stands out
What sets 915 Colley Ave #A apart is sheer urban convenience wrapped in a generously sized, relatively modern footprint. At 2,710 square feet with three full baths plus a half bath, this 2007-built property gives you the square footage of a suburban home without surrendering the walkability of one of Norfolk's most energetic streets. Three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and a location that puts dinner, coffee, and groceries all within a half-mile walk — that combination is genuinely rare.
GHENT and the Norfolk real estate market
Colley Avenue sits at the pulse of Norfolk's urban core, threading through a stretch where independent restaurants, coffee roasters, and neighborhood parks coexist with the polish of a well-established city corridor. The address puts you squarely in one of Norfolk's most walkable pockets — a place where morning coffee at EspressOasis and an evening out at The Public House are both a short stroll from your front door. Norfolk itself is a city with serious momentum: a working waterfront, a deep arts scene, and a military presence that keeps the local economy grounded. For buyers exploring va loan homes norfolk, this part of the city is worth a close look — the density of amenities here is hard to match anywhere else in Hampton Roads. The broader Ghent neighborhood wraps around this stretch of Colley with tree-lined streets, early-twentieth-century architecture, and a genuine neighborhood identity that newer developments rarely replicate. Norfolk is in Norfolk City jurisdiction, meaning no county layer between you and city services.
What's nearby
Step outside and daily life practically runs itself. The Public House is 0.1 miles away for a casual meal, with Peck & Pour and The Retreat Cafe both within 0.2 miles for more options. Coffee is never a problem — EspressOasis, Grand Grounds, and Fair Grounds Coffee Cafe are all within a two-minute walk of each other and of you. Groceries are covered by Harris Teeter at 0.4 miles, with ALDI and The Vitamin Shoppe both at 0.5 miles. For fitness, Colleywood Cuts, Flourish, and PureCore Pilates are all within 0.4 miles. Green space is equally close — EVMS Green Space is 0.1 miles away, and Raleigh Park and Yellow Fever Park are each 0.2 miles out.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is a three-minute drive from 915 Colley Ave #A, and USCG Base Portsmouth is four minutes out. For active-duty personnel and their families, that kind of proximity to two installations — combined with a VA loan-eligible property of this size — makes the math on this address worth running carefully. Living this close to base without sacrificing urban amenities is a genuine win.
For first-time buyers
If you're searching for houses to buy in Norfolk and want your first home to feel like an upgrade from day one, 915 Colley Ave #A delivers. At 2,710 square feet with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, this is far more home than most first-time buyers expect to find in a walkable urban setting.
