Why this home stands out
Built in 1939, this Virginia Gardens bungalow carries the solid bones and compact efficiency that mid-century construction is known for. The 0.14-acre lot gives you real outdoor space relative to the home's footprint — room to breathe, garden, or simply spread out. What sets 407 W Little Creek Rd apart most is pure location: two major military installations within six minutes, a Harris Teeter half a mile away, and a walkable stretch of restaurants and coffee shops just down the road.
VIRGINIA GARDENS and the Norfolk real estate market
Virginia Gardens sits in the northern tier of Norfolk, tucked between Little Creek Road and the waterfront neighborhoods that define this part of the city. It's a quiet, established residential pocket — the kind of street where neighbors know each other and mature trees line the sidewalks. The housing stock here dates largely from the 1930s through 1950s, giving the area a consistent, unhurried character that newer subdivisions rarely replicate. If you're exploring norfolk real estate and want proximity to the water without the waterfront price tag, Virginia Gardens is worth a close look. Norfolk itself brings everything else: a thriving downtown, the Ghent arts district, major medical centers, and one of the most active military corridors on the East Coast. The neighborhood's position along Little Creek Road means you're never far from the city's main commercial arteries, yet the side streets stay genuinely residential and calm.
