Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 919 Sheppard Ave apart is the combination of genuine square footage — nearly 2,000 square feet across four bedrooms and three full baths — in a city where that kind of room is harder to find than you'd expect. The 1942 construction means solid bones and a floor plan with real separation between living spaces, not the open-box layouts that sacrifice privacy for trend.

COLONIAL HEIGHTS and the Norfolk real estate market

919 Sheppard Ave sits in the northeast corner of Norfolk, in a residential pocket that feels removed from the city's busier corridors while staying genuinely connected to everything. The streets here are established — mature trees, single-family homes, neighbors who tend to stick around. It's the kind of area where you know the block within a few weeks of moving in. Norfolk itself is one of the most layered cities on the East Coast: a working waterfront, a serious arts scene, diverse dining, and a military presence that gives the whole region its rhythm. City of norfolk real estate in this zip code draws buyers who want proximity to the base without paying the premium of neighborhoods closer to the water. The 23518 zip puts you in a sweet spot — north enough to feel residential, connected enough to reach downtown Norfolk, the Oceanfront, or the interstate in under 20 minutes. It's a city with real character, and this address puts you right in the middle of it.

What's nearby

Daily life runs smoothly from Sheppard Ave. ROLOP is just a tenth of a mile away — about as close as a restaurant gets without being in your backyard. Pollard's Chicken at Tidewater and McDonald's are both within 0.4 miles for quick meals or a morning coffee run. Coaster Coffee is nearby when you want something a little more intentional. For groceries and essentials, Dollar General is 0.4 miles out, with LEMPIRA #3 and a BP station rounding out your close-range options. Fitness is well covered too — Somnium CrossFit, Muscle Beach East Gym, and Box-N-Go Boxing Gym are all within a mile. Northside Park is 0.7 miles away when you need open space.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Naval Station Norfolk is seven minutes from your front door, and MARFORCOM Norfolk is just eight. That kind of commute changes daily life — shorter drives mean more time at home, easier schedule flexibility, and less wear on the vehicle. With four bedrooms and three full baths, there's room for a family, a home office, or a dedicated guest space when family visits during deployment cycles.

For families upgrading

If you've outgrown your current place, 1,968 square feet across four bedrooms and three full baths gives everyone room to breathe. The 1942 build means larger room dimensions than newer construction at the same square footage. Add a walkable neighborhood with parks and a quick drive to anything else, and this is a home that grows with you rather than against you.
