At a glance

A 3-bed, 3.1-bath townhome-style condo built in 2014 in Norfolk's Ocean View East neighborhood, offering over 2,100 square feet just six minutes from JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and steps from the waterfront lifestyle the area is known for.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

At 2,163 square feet with three full baths plus a half bath, 9518 3rd Bay Street #117 gives you the square footage of a single-family home wrapped in a low-maintenance condo package. Built in 2014, the construction is modern enough to sidestep the big-ticket surprises older coastal properties can carry. Three bedrooms across multiple levels means everyone gets real privacy — not just a door and a wall.

OCEAN VIEW EAST and the Norfolk real estate market

Ocean View East is one of Norfolk's most quietly compelling waterfront corridors — a stretch of the city where residential streets run close to the Chesapeake Bay shoreline and the pace of daily life slows down just enough to feel like a reward. If you've been searching through homes for sale norfolk va and kept circling back to the water, this neighborhood tends to be the reason why. The community has a genuine mix of longtime locals and newer residents, and the proximity to the bay gives it a personality that's hard to replicate inland. Norfolk itself is a city with serious infrastructure — major medical centers, a thriving arts district, an international airport, and a port economy that keeps the region stable. Ocean View East sits in the northeastern corner of the city, close enough to everything Norfolk offers but far enough from the urban core to feel like a genuine neighborhood rather than a transit stop.

What's nearby

Pretty Lake Playground is literally 0.1 miles away — a genuine convenience if kids are part of the picture. Bay Oaks Park is another two blocks out, and Tarrallton Park rounds out the green space options within half a mile. When it's time to eat, Jessy's Taqueria and The Bold Mariner Brewing Company are both under a mile, making weeknight dinners easy and weekend outings even easier. The Bold Mariner also doubles as a local gathering spot for craft beer and live events. Project SixKiller Performance at 0.9 miles handles your fitness routine without a long commute.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Six minutes to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and ten minutes to Naval Station Norfolk puts 9518 3rd Bay Street #117 in one of the most commute-efficient positions in the region for active-duty households. BAH rates in this zip code align well with the condo format, and VA loan eligibility makes the financing side straightforward. Three bedrooms and 3.1 baths means deployments and homecomings both work — there's room to spread out or hunker down.

For families upgrading

If you're moving up from a smaller space, 2,163 square feet with three full baths is the kind of jump that actually changes how a household functions. Everyone gets a real bathroom, storage stops being a negotiation, and the multi-level layout creates natural zones for work, play, and quiet. Add three parks within half a mile and you have a setup that works for families at multiple stages — not just right now.
