968 Albert Ave, Norfolk, VA 23513

Why this home stands out

What sets 968 Albert Ave apart is pure proximity. Nine minutes to Naval Station Norfolk and ten to MARFORCOM Norfolk means commute stress largely disappears. The 1949 construction gives the home a solid mid-century bones that smaller, newer builds rarely match. For anyone prioritizing base access over square footage, this address checks the most important box first — and delivers a real neighborhood around it.

CORONADO and the Norfolk real estate market

Albert Avenue sits within Norfolk's established residential grid, a city that has built its identity around the water, the bases, and the kind of tight-knit blocks where neighbors actually know each other. This part of Norfolk carries a working-class authenticity — tree-lined streets, modest lots, and homes that have housed generations of military and civilian families alike. The 23513 zip code is one of the more practical addresses in the city: close to everything that matters operationally, without the congestion of downtown. Norfolk itself is a city of real texture — from the Ghent arts district to the Oceanfront, from the Norfolk Botanical Garden to the bustling waterfront — and Albert Ave puts you inside that fabric rather than on its edges. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often find that this part of the city offers the shortest commute windows to the major installations, which matters enormously when schedules revolve around muster times and deployment cycles.
