Why this home stands out
At 4,500 square feet with four bedrooms and three and a half baths, this 2007-built home gives you genuine room to spread out in one of Norfolk's most walkable planned communities. East Beach was designed around pedestrian life — parks, a fountain square, and waterfront dining are all within a few blocks. That combination of square footage and true walkability is rare anywhere in Hampton Roads.
EAST BEACH and the Norfolk real estate market
East Beach is one of Norfolk's most intentionally designed neighborhoods, modeled on classic coastal town planning where sidewalks connect you to parks, restaurants, and the water rather than leaving you dependent on a car. When people search for east beach norfolk, they're usually looking for exactly this: a neighborhood with genuine character, a tight-knit community feel, and a location that punches well above its size. The streets are lined with homes built in the early 2000s through the 2010s, giving the whole area a cohesive, well-kept appearance. Norfolk itself is a city of real substance — a working waterfront, a thriving arts scene, and a deep military heritage that shapes everything from local infrastructure to the demographic energy of its neighborhoods. East Beach sits in the northeastern corner of the city, close to the Chesapeake Bay shoreline, and benefits from both the breezy coastal atmosphere and the practical amenities of a major urban center. It's the kind of place where neighbors actually know each other.
What's nearby
Daily life is genuinely easy from 26th Bay Street. Riffle Farms Market & Co-op is just 0.2 miles away for local and specialty groceries, with Food Lion and Dollar General both within 0.7 miles for everyday staples. Longboards East Beach Waterfront Dining and Tiki Bar is practically at your doorstep at 0.1 miles, and Stony's Dockside Bar and Grill and Super China are each about 0.3 miles out. COVA Brewing Company is the neighborhood's go-to craft beer spot, also 0.3 miles away. For fitness, you have three options close by: Fit Body Boot Camp, Xtras Fitness + Wellness, and Little Creek Gym. Garden Pergola Park and Pleasant Avenue Park are both under a quarter mile, and East Beach Fountain Square and Park is just 0.3 miles away.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Three minutes to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and thirteen minutes to Naval Station Norfolk — 9516 26th Bay Street is about as well-positioned as a Hampton Roads home gets for dual-base households. Using a VA loan here means putting that BAH to work on 4,500 square feet in a walkable waterfront community rather than a generic subdivision. The commute math is hard to beat.
For families upgrading
If you've outgrown your current home, 4,500 square feet across four bedrooms and three and a half baths gives everyone room to breathe — and then some. East Beach adds the lifestyle layer: parks within a two-minute walk, waterfront dining around the corner, and a neighborhood where kids can actually get around on foot. Upgrading in size doesn't usually come with this much character.
