Why this home stands out
What sets 9547 27th Bay Street apart is the combination of genuine size — five bedrooms across 3,229 square feet — and an almost unbeatable location. You're within a short walk of the waterfront, a neighborhood market, restaurants, and a park, yet still just minutes from two major military installations. Homes with this footprint and this kind of walkable, beach-adjacent lifestyle don't come together often in Norfolk.
EAST BEACH and the Norfolk real estate market
East Ocean View is one of Norfolk's most distinctive coastal neighborhoods, sitting along the Chesapeake Bay shoreline in the northeastern corner of the city. The area has a relaxed, community-forward feel — wide streets, mature trees, and a genuine mix of longtime residents and newer families who came for the water and stayed for the neighborhood. East Ocean View has seen steady reinvestment over the past two decades, and that energy is visible in the local businesses, updated homes, and well-kept parks that define the streetscape today. Norfolk itself is a city that punches above its weight: a deep-water port city with a strong arts scene, a diverse restaurant culture, and a military presence that shapes both its economy and its community identity. Living in Norfolk means access to a connected metro region — Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Portsmouth are all within easy reach — while still having a real neighborhood to come home to.
