1509 Runnymede Rd, Norfolk, VA 23505

Why this home stands out

Built in 1921, this 2,548-square-foot home carries the kind of architectural bones that newer construction simply can't replicate — think solid craftsmanship, generous room proportions, and a lot of history baked into every detail. Four bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths give you real flexibility for a growing household, a home office, or a dedicated guest room, all within a neighborhood that has held its character for over a century.

MEADOWBROOK and the Norfolk real estate market

Meadowbrook is one of Norfolk's most quietly beloved residential pockets — a tree-lined, established community where the streets have names like Runnymede and the homes have stories. It sits in the northern corridor of Norfolk, close enough to the waterfront to feel the city's maritime energy but far enough from the downtown bustle to keep things genuinely neighborly. If you've been browsing houses for sale in Norfolk and wondering where character and convenience actually overlap, Meadowbrook is a strong answer. The neighborhood draws a mix of long-time residents and newcomers who appreciate the walkable scale, the mature landscaping, and the easy access to both military installations and city amenities. Norfolk as a whole is a city of distinct neighborhoods, and Meadowbrook holds its own as one of the more livable ones — grounded, unpretentious, and well-connected.
