929 Virgilina Avenue is a 2,003-square-foot home in Norfolk, built in 2003 with three bedrooms and two and a half baths. Doc's Beach is just a tenth of a mile away. Naval Station Norfolk is about seven minutes by car. This address puts daily life and the waterfront within easy reach.
Most homes this close to the water sit in older stock from the 1950s and 1960s. At 929 Virgilina Avenue, you get a 2003 build — meaning updated systems, modern framing, and a layout designed for how people actually live today. Two full floors of space, a half bath on the main level, and over 2,000 square feet give you room that older nearby homes rarely match. The beach is literally a two-minute walk.
OCEAN VIEW COTTAGE and the Norfolk real estate market
Virgilina Avenue sits in the Ocean View corridor of Norfolk, one of the city's most recognizable waterfront stretches. The streets here run close to Chesapeake Bay, and the neighborhood has a relaxed, coastal feel without the resort-town price tag. Housing is a mix of post-war cottages and newer builds like this one, giving the blocks a lived-in, genuine character. Neighbors are close, sidewalks are walkable, and the bay is always nearby. Norfolk itself is one of the largest cities on the East Coast and the anchor of the Hampton Roads metro. Getting around is straightforward — Interstate 64 connects you west toward downtown and east toward Virginia Beach in minutes. The city's waterfront, Ghent's dining scene, and the Neon arts district are all under 20 minutes away. Anyone comparing Norfolk homes for sale will find that the Ocean View side of the city offers a lifestyle that is hard to replicate elsewhere in the region.
What's nearby
Doc's Beach is 0.1 miles away — close enough to walk in under two minutes. Community Beach Park and Lake Modoc are both 0.3 miles out, giving you two more outdoor options on a short stroll. Big Boss Burritos 2 and a 7-Eleven are 0.2 miles away for quick bites. Doug's Hot Dogs is 0.7 miles out. Harris Teeter covers your grocery run at 0.8 miles, and Tienda Latina La Tapatia 3 is a closer option at 0.7 miles. The Yoga Space and Ocean View Yoga are both under a mile. Starbucks is 0.8 miles away when you need a proper coffee stop.
For different buyers
Base commute and VA loan notes
Naval Station Norfolk is about seven minutes from this address, and MARFORCOM Norfolk is roughly eight. That kind of commute is rare to find paired with over 2,000 square feet of living space. VA loan financing is widely used in this zip code, and a 2003 build typically clears VA appraisal conditions more cleanly than older stock. Homes for sale in 23503 at this distance from base do not come up often.
For buyers drawn to character
The Ocean View waterfront has a personality all its own — beach access on a city block, a mix of architectural eras, and a community that feels rooted rather than transient. This 2003 build gives you modern bones inside a neighborhood with genuine coastal character. Doc's Beach is steps away. If you want a home that feels like somewhere, not just something, this block delivers.
