9716 7th Bay Street, Unit 101 sits in the East Ocean View corridor of Norfolk, Virginia 23518, about six minutes from JEB Little Creek-Fort Story. This two-bedroom, two-bath condo packs 893 square feet into a compact, efficient layout built in 1983. Pretty Lake Playground is just two blocks away, and Jessy's Taqueria is a short walk down the street.
What sets Unit 101 apart is its ground-floor position and its location at the intersection of two major base commutes. JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is about six minutes out, and Naval Station Norfolk is roughly eleven. Pretty Lake Playground is 0.2 miles away, Bay Oaks Park is 0.3 miles, and three restaurants sit within half a mile. For a two-bed, two-bath footprint under 900 square feet, the surrounding walkable amenities punch well above the unit's size.
OCEAN VIEW EAST and the Norfolk real estate market
The 23518 zip code hugs the northern edge of Norfolk along the Chesapeake Bay shoreline. Streets here run close to the water, and the housing stock mixes older brick ranches, modest single-family homes, and low-rise condo buildings like this one. The pace feels quieter than the city's urban core, but the neighborhood is far from sleepy. Bay Oaks Park and Tarrallton Park give the area a green, walkable feel. Pretty Lake sits nearby and adds a natural anchor to the blocks around 7th Bay Street. Norfolk itself is a working waterfront city with a strong arts scene, independent restaurants, and a deep military history. Getting around is straightforward: Interstate 64 connects you east toward Virginia Beach and west toward downtown Norfolk in minutes. Among Norfolk homes for sale, properties in this zip code tend to draw buyers who want bay-area character without the Virginia Beach price point. The neighborhood rewards people who like being close to the water and close to the base.
What's nearby
Daily errands and meals are easy from 7th Bay Street. Jessy's Taqueria and Chanello's Pizza are both about 0.4 miles away, and Karla's Beach House is just 0.5 miles for a sit-down meal. Amoco covers grocery runs at one mile out, and a 7-Eleven is 0.9 miles for a quick coffee stop. Project SixKiller Performance is 0.6 miles for serious training, and Xtras Fitness + Wellness is 0.9 miles if you prefer a broader wellness setup. Pretty Lake Playground is two blocks away at 0.2 miles, making it one of the most accessible parks in the homes for sale in 23518 area.
