Small multi-unit buildings and renters

Just over half of occupied homes in ZCTA 23503 are rented: 53%, against 33% for Virginia. Buildings with two to four units hold 21% of housing units in the ZCTA, a much larger share than statewide. Buildings of that size are much less common in nearby ZCTA 23502.

To raise with a landlord in a duplex or small building:

  • Has any provider already put service into the building?
  • May tenants order directly from Cox Internet or Metronet?
  • Do the units have separate street addresses, or one address with unit letters?
  • Does each unit have its own service entry point, or does one line come into the building?

Housing built before 1960

Construction before 1960 accounts for 44% of housing units in ZCTA 23503; the Virginia share is 19%. In an older home or building, ask the provider where service would enter the structure and whether an outside line needs to be run. Choose the router location ahead of any visit, and ask which room the connection would reach first.

Bring the landlord's answers when you compare internet providers or look over Norfolk internet providers.

Common questions in 23503

How do I enter my address if I rent part of a duplex or small multi-unit house?

Ask the landlord how mail reaches your unit, whether by a letter, a floor name or a separate house number. Enter it that same way in the Cox Internet and Metronet lookups.

What should I ask about a building from before 1960 before I order?

Ask where the connection would enter, whether outside work is required, and which room the equipment would sit in. Write the answers down for each provider you contact.

What if my landlord has not said which provider is in the building?

Ask the landlord or property manager directly, then run the unit address through each provider's lookup and compare the results.

How We Rank Providers & Where the Data Comes From

Provider names and sampled advertised technology and speed evidence on this page come from the FCC National Broadband Map and the FCC Broadband Data Collection (June 2025), sampled at H3 grid-cell granularity. ZIP results are shortlist evidence, not address-level serviceability. National catalog plans are excluded until market eligibility is proven. Confirm service, the current offer, and installation terms at the exact address. See our full ranking methodology.
