Why this home stands out

The 1949 build date puts 1724 Cromwell Drive in a generation of Norfolk homes with solid construction and generous room proportions that newer builds rarely match. Four bedrooms across 1,939 square feet gives you real flexibility — a home office, a guest room, and still room to breathe. The half-bath adds daily convenience that single-story ranches from the same era often skip. It is the kind of address that holds its character across decades.

LAFAYETTE SHORES and the Norfolk real estate market

Cromwell Drive sits in the 23509 zip code, a central Norfolk corridor where mid-century bungalows and brick ranches line wide, tree-shaded streets. The blocks here feel established and grounded. Neighbors tend to stay, and the housing stock reflects that long-term investment. Lakewood Park anchors the immediate area with open green space just steps away. Roland Park Playground is less than a mile out, adding another outdoor option close by. Norfolk itself is one of the most connected cities on the East Coast. Interstate 264 and the Downtown Tunnel put you within reach of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Portsmouth in under twenty minutes. The city's waterfront, NEON arts district, and Ghent neighborhood are all a short drive from Cromwell Drive. Anyone browsing Norfolk homes for sale will find that 23509 offers a central location without the premium of the waterfront zip codes.

What's nearby

Daily errands are genuinely easy from 1724 Cromwell Drive. Food Lion is 0.3 miles away — close enough to walk. Golden Pizzeria, Luther Arcree, and Golden City III are all within 0.2 miles for a quick dinner out. La Botica Hispana and Angel Food Mart round out the grocery options within a mile. Chesapeake Athletic Club is 0.6 miles away for workouts. Lakewood Park is right down the street at 0.2 miles, and Roland Park Playground adds another nearby green space at 0.7 miles.

For different buyers

Base commute and VA loan notes

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth is about eight minutes from 1724 Cromwell Drive, and USCG Base Portsmouth is the same distance in a different direction. VA loan financing is common among buyers in this zip code, and the home's four bedrooms mean you are not compromising on space to stay close to the installation. The 1939 square feet gives you room to settle in without a long commute eating into your day.

Room to grow

Four bedrooms and two and a half baths across 1,939 square feet give you real room to spread out. The extra half-bath alone reduces the morning bottleneck that smaller homes create. A yard and proximity to both Lakewood Park and Roland Park Playground means outdoor space is never far. If you are comparing homes for sale in 23509, the combination of bedroom count, bathroom count, and lot access at this address is worth a close look.
