Why this home stands out
Built in 1952, this home carries the kind of solid construction that mid-century Norfolk neighborhoods are known for — real brick, a compact and livable floor plan, and a lot with genuine breathing room. At 1,371 square feet across three bedrooms, the layout works hard without wasting space. The half-bath adds everyday practicality that homes of this era often skipped, making 4704 Mayflower Road a step above its vintage peers.
COLONIAL PLACE and the Norfolk real estate market
Mayflower Road sits in a quiet, tree-lined stretch of Norfolk where post-war bungalows and brick ranches line up along wide residential streets. The surrounding blocks have a settled, unhurried feel — the kind of neighborhood where people stay for decades and neighbors actually know each other. Norfolk itself is a city of distinct personalities: waterfront districts, arts corridors, university energy, and deep military roots all coexist within a compact, navigable footprint.
