Why this home stands out
What sets 1531 Longdale Drive apart is the combination of lot size and square footage that's genuinely hard to find in this part of Norfolk. A third of an acre gives you breathing room — space for a garden, a playset, or just a proper backyard — while the 2,468-square-foot interior means four bedrooms and two and a half baths without anyone feeling squeezed. The 1965 construction era brings solid bones and classic proportions that newer builds rarely match.
MEADOWBROOK TERRACE and the Norfolk real estate market
Meadowbrook Terrace is one of those established Norfolk neighborhoods where the streets feel settled and the lots are actually sized for living. Mature trees line the sidewalks, homes sit back from the road, and neighbors tend to stay a while — all hallmarks of a community that put down roots decades ago and kept them. If you've been browsing houses for sale in Norfolk VA and wondering where the larger lots are hiding, this corner of the city is worth a close look. Norfolk itself is a dynamic, waterfront city — home to one of the largest naval installations in the world, a thriving arts scene in the NEON District, and easy access to the Chesapeake Bay. Meadowbrook Terrace sits in the northeastern quadrant of the city, keeping you close to the water, the bases, and the everyday conveniences of East Ocean View and the surrounding corridors without putting you in the middle of the bustle.
What's nearby
Daily errands practically take care of themselves here. Lidl is just 0.1 miles away — about as close as a grocery store gets — and Food Lion is another option just 0.4 miles out. For a quick morning coffee or a late-night snack run, 180 Productions is right at 0.1 miles, and Wawa is 0.3 miles away. China One Chinese Restaurant is a short 0.4-mile trip for a weeknight dinner. Anytime Fitness at 0.9 miles keeps the workout routine manageable, and Oakmont North Playgrounds — also 0.9 miles — gives younger residents a dedicated place to burn energy. Everything you reach for on a regular basis is genuinely close.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is eight minutes from 1531 Longdale Drive, and Naval Station Norfolk is eleven — two of Hampton Roads' most active installations within a short, predictable commute. VA loan eligibility makes a 0.35-acre, four-bedroom property like this one especially accessible, and BAH rates in the Norfolk area are well-suited to a home at this square footage. Whether you're on a two-year tour or planting longer roots, the location math works.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and a half-acre-class lot in an established neighborhood — that's the upgrade combination most growing families are chasing. The 2,468 square feet give everyone dedicated space, and the backyard has real potential for the kind of outdoor life that smaller lots simply can't support. Meadowbrook Terrace's quiet, tree-lined character means the neighborhood itself feels like part of the package.
