About this home

The listing, in the seller's words

Lot is 50' x150' armored with granite boulder bulkheaded waterfront lot. Single family coastal house footprint is 35' x 67.8'. Why are these lots more expensive? The cost of granite mountain boulders from West Virginia used to bulkhead the bay front lots are built into the price. It's the only place in Norfolk VA that has this unique protection.

Why this home stands out

Vacant land in Ocean View East is genuinely rare. This 0.17-acre parcel sits on 21st Bay Street, a quiet residential block where bay breezes are a daily reality and the beach is a short walk away. Whether you're planning a custom build from the ground up or simply securing a foothold in one of Norfolk's most desirable waterfront-adjacent corridors, this lot offers the kind of location that's hard to replicate.

OCEAN VIEW EAST and the Norfolk real estate market

Ocean View East is the coastal gem most people picture when they search homes for sale norfolk va — a low-key, beach-town-flavored neighborhood tucked along the southwestern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The streets here have a relaxed, residential rhythm: modest lots, mature trees, and neighbors who actually wave. East Beach, the neighborhood's signature mixed-use development, anchors the area with a walkable village feel that sets Ocean View East apart from virtually every other Norfolk zip code. The broader Ocean View corridor has seen steady reinvestment over the past two decades, and East Ocean View sits at the heart of that momentum. Norfolk itself is a city of genuine variety — historic districts, world-class naval history, a thriving arts scene, and a waterfront that defines daily life. Chesapeake Beach is minutes away on foot, and the broader Hampton Roads region is accessible in every direction via I-64 and Shore Drive.

What's nearby

Daily life from 21st Bay Street is remarkably convenient. Lola's Beach Cantina and Sour Street Pizza are both within a tenth of a mile — dinner plans practically make themselves. Riffle Farms Market & Co-op is just 0.3 miles away for fresh, local groceries, and a Dollar General is under a mile for quick errands. East Beach Fountain Square and Park is a two-minute walk, and 17th Bay Beach Access is only 0.3 miles out. For fitness, Fit Body Boot Camp, Project SixKiller Performance, and Xtras Fitness + Wellness are all within walking distance. COVA Brewing Company rounds out the neighborhood's social scene at 0.3 miles.
