Why this home stands out
Four full bathrooms plus a half bath in a 3,369-square-foot layout built in 2008 — that's a combination you don't come across every day in this price range of Norfolk. The home's relatively recent construction means you're getting modern framing, systems, and finishes without the quirks that come with older stock. Add four true bedrooms and you have serious flexibility for larger households, guests, or a dedicated home office setup.
BROAD CREEK and the Norfolk real estate market
Broad Creek sits in the heart of Norfolk, a city that punches well above its weight for culture, waterfront access, and military connectivity. The neighborhood has a grounded, community-first character — tree-lined streets, nearby green space, and a mix of established residents and newcomers who appreciate real square footage at a realistic scale. When people searching for houses for sale in Norfolk land on Broad Creek, they often stay — the combination of central location and neighborhood cohesion is genuinely hard to replicate. Norfolk itself spans from the Chesapeake Bay shoreline to the Elizabeth River, with a downtown arts district, a thriving food scene, and some of the most storied naval history in the country. Getting around is straightforward: Interstate 264 and the Downtown Tunnel connect you to Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, and the broader Hampton Roads metro without much drama.
