Why this home stands out
What sets 929 Bolling Ave apart is the combination of generous square footage — 2,142 feet across three bedrooms and three full baths plus a half bath — in a 2006-built home that sidesteps the maintenance surprises older Norfolk housing stock can bring. You're also sitting at a genuinely rare intersection: walkable neighborhood amenities on one side, two major military installations reachable in under ten minutes on the other.
LARCHMONT and the Norfolk real estate market
Bolling Ave sits in a lively pocket of Norfolk just west of Old Dominion University's campus, giving the surrounding blocks an energetic, community-oriented feel without the transient churn you might expect. The streets here are lined with a mix of early-2000s construction and classic mid-century homes, and the area has attracted a steady wave of young professionals, military families, and longtime Norfolk residents who appreciate having real neighborhood character. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast — home to the world's largest naval station, a thriving arts scene centered on the Chrysler Museum, and a waterfront downtown that keeps expanding. Getting around is straightforward: the Tide light rail, major bus routes, and quick interstate access all serve this part of the city well. Whether your daily life pulls you toward the naval bases, the university corridor, or downtown Norfolk, 929 Bolling Ave puts you close to all of it.
