Why this home stands out
New construction in an established Norfolk neighborhood is a rare combination, and 128 Blake Rd delivers exactly that. Built in 2026, this 2,600-square-foot home gives you modern systems, fresh finishes, and a generous 0.26-acre lot without the trade-offs of older housing stock. Four bedrooms and 2.1 baths provide real flexibility for growing households, remote workers, or anyone who simply wants room to breathe.
CROMWELL FARM and the Norfolk real estate market
Cromwell Farm sits in the northern reaches of Norfolk — a quiet, residential pocket that feels removed from the city's bustle while staying remarkably well-connected. Streets here are lined with mature trees, and the neighborhood carries the kind of settled, unhurried character that's harder and harder to find among homes to buy in Norfolk. The quarter-acre lots give neighbors a comfortable buffer, and the overall scale of the community — not too large, not too small — means you'll actually recognize the faces you pass on a morning walk. Norfolk itself is one of Hampton Roads' most historically layered cities, home to world-class waterfront dining, the Chrysler Museum of Art, and a deeply rooted military community. Cromwell Farm benefits from all of that without sitting in the middle of it, giving residents the best of both worlds: genuine neighborhood calm and easy access to everything the city offers.
