Why this home stands out
Built in 2017, this property brings modern construction to an established Norfolk neighborhood. Five bedrooms across 3,180 square feet gives everyone room to spread out, and the 0.34-acre lot is notably larger than what you typically find inside the city. Three full bathrooms mean morning routines stay civil. The combination of recent build quality, lot size, and proximity to two major military installations is genuinely hard to replicate in this part of Hampton Roads.
THE GARDENS and the Norfolk real estate market
The Gardens is a quiet, residential pocket of Norfolk that feels a step removed from the city's bustle without actually being far from anything. Streets here are lined with mature trees, and lot sizes tend to run larger than in denser Norfolk corridors — 2601 Wingfield Road's 0.34-acre footprint fits right in. Neighbors tend to be a mix of long-term Norfolk residents and military families who discovered that this corner of the city is hard to leave. If you've been browsing homes for sale in norfolk va and keep running into compact lots and older construction, The Gardens offers a refreshing contrast. Norfolk itself is a city with real texture — waterfront districts, a thriving arts scene, independent restaurants, and the kind of infrastructure that comes with being the anchor city of Hampton Roads. The Gardens sits in the northeastern quadrant of the city, which puts you close to the Chesapeake Bay shoreline, the Little Creek corridor, and easy access to both Interstate 64 and Shore Drive.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
Five minutes to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and twelve minutes to Naval Station Norfolk — 2601 Wingfield Road is about as well-positioned as it gets for dual-military households or anyone juggling two bases. The five-bedroom layout handles PCS moves with room to spare, and the 2017 build means you're not inheriting someone else's deferred maintenance. VA loan eligibility makes a home this size even more accessible.
For families upgrading
If your current home is starting to feel tight, 3,180 square feet across five bedrooms and three full baths gives everyone — kids, guests, a dedicated home office — their own space. The 0.34-acre lot adds outdoor room that's genuinely usable, not just a narrow strip of grass. Built in 2017, the systems are modern, and The Gardens neighborhood has the kind of settled, tree-lined character that makes it easy to picture staying long-term.
