Why this home stands out
Built in 2013, this home skips the quirks of older Norfolk stock — you get a modern floor plan, contemporary finishes, and the kind of structural peace of mind that comes with a newer build. Four bedrooms and a half-bath on the main level give the layout real flexibility, whether you need a dedicated home office, a guest room, or space to grow. At 2,100 square feet, there's room to breathe without the upkeep of a sprawling estate.
BALLENTINE PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market
Tait Terrace sits in a residential pocket of Norfolk that punches above its weight for everyday convenience. The streets here have a lived-in, established feel — sidewalks, mature trees, and neighbors who actually know each other. Norfolk is one of the most storied cities on the East Coast, shaped by its deep ties to the U.S. military, a thriving arts scene, and waterfront culture that runs through the city's DNA. When people search for norfolk va homes, they're often surprised by how much variety the city offers: historic districts, newer construction pockets, walkable retail corridors, and green space woven throughout. Tait Terrace lands in a part of Norfolk that's close to everything without feeling like it's on top of everything. You're in Norfolk proper, within Norfolk city jurisdiction, with quick access to the interstate network that connects you to Portsmouth, Chesapeake, and Virginia Beach in under twenty minutes.
