This unit sits in a rare spot: walkable to the beach, close to two major military bases, and surrounded by restaurants and fitness options. The 2016 construction means updated systems and finishes. Four bedrooms and three full baths give you flexibility for a home office, guest space, or hobby room. You'll find the kind of block that anchors homes for sale in 23518—where daily life flows between water access, dining, and fitness without a car.
OCEAN VIEW EAST and the Norfolk real estate market
East Beach is Norfolk's most vibrant waterfront neighborhood. Tree-lined streets meet modern mixed-use blocks where locals walk to coffee, dinner, and the sand. The vibe is active and social—established residents and newcomers share the same sidewalks. Norfolk itself is a working waterfront city with deep maritime roots and a growing downtown. Naval Station Norfolk and JEB Little Creek-Fort Story shape the region's character and economy. Getting around is straightforward: Bay Street runs east-west, and the bases are minutes away. Schools in the area serve the community well, including homes for sale zoned for Lake Taylor High School and homes for sale zoned for Little Creek Elementary School. The city offers museums, parks, and a strong sense of place.
What's nearby
You're half a block from East Beach Bar & Grill and Mami's Empanadas—both instant dinner options. Project SixKiller Performance gym is a quick walk, as is the Community Garden and 17th Bay Beach Access. Riffle Farms Market & Co-op and Fit Body Boot Camp sit a half-mile away. COVA Brewing Company is also nearby for weekend mornings. East Beach Fountain Square and Park offers green space and community events just a short walk south.
For different buyers
Base commute and VA loan notes

Room to grow
Four bedrooms mean a master suite, guest room, home office, and flex space all under one roof. Three full baths eliminate morning traffic. The 2,600 square feet flows well for a household that needs room to spread out. Beach access and nearby parks give outdoor space beyond the unit itself.

Special Flood Hazard Area — 1% annual chance of flooding. Federal flood insurance is required on most mortgages.
Data sources: Flood zone and base flood elevation come from FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer. Property elevation is sampled from a single point on the parcel using the USGS National Map elevation service — actual elevations across a single property can vary by several feet higher or lower than the figure shown. Use these numbers as a starting reference and do your own due diligence (a professional survey or elevation certificate) before relying on them for any financial, insurance, or construction decision.
Zone AE typically means lenders require flood insurance. Factor it into the monthly numbers below.
