Why this home stands out
Nearly 1.8 acres inside city limits is genuinely unusual, and that's the headline here. Most Norfolk properties measure lots in fractions of an acre; this one gives you room for a garden, a workshop, a fire pit, or simply the kind of open space that's hard to come by. The 1951 construction means solid bones and generous room proportions, and the 2,174-square-foot layout across four bedrooms and two and a half baths has the flexibility to grow with you.
LANSDALE and the Norfolk real estate market
Lansdale sits in the eastern corridor of Norfolk, a quiet residential pocket that trades the density of the city's urban core for wider lots, mature trees, and a more settled, neighborhood-first feel. Princess Anne Road runs as the main artery here, connecting you westward into downtown Norfolk and eastward toward Virginia Beach without much fuss. If you've been searching through homes for sale in norfolk va and wondering whether you can actually find space inside city limits, Lansdale tends to surprise people. The streets are calm, the neighbors tend to stay long-term, and the overall character leans practical and unpretentious — the kind of place where people are genuinely invested in their block. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast, shaped by its deep ties to the military, the water, and a creative community that keeps growing. Lansdale gives you access to all of that without dropping you in the middle of it.
What's nearby
Daily life is easy from this address. The Landing Bar and Bistro is just 0.2 miles away, and Anchor Bar & Lounge Restaurant is another block beyond that — two solid neighborhood spots for a low-key evening out. Groceries are well covered: Market Connections Co, Target Grocery, and Food Lion are all within 0.7 miles. For your morning coffee, The Blackdog Cafe and Starbucks Coffee Company are both about 0.6 miles out. Fitness options are genuinely strong nearby — 1STRING Sports Training, North FoxHall FitLot Outdoor Fitness Park, and The Iron Asylum Gym all sit within a mile. Princess Anne Park is 0.4 miles away for outdoor time, with North Foxhall Playground not far behind.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is roughly eight minutes from the front door, and USCG Base Portsmouth is about ten. That kind of proximity matters when schedules shift and commutes eat into family time. A VA loan can make a property like this — on nearly two acres with four bedrooms — genuinely accessible, and BAH rates in this area tend to align well with what this part of Norfolk offers.
For families upgrading
If your current home is starting to feel tight, the jump to 2,174 square feet and four bedrooms on nearly 1.8 acres is a meaningful one. There's room here for a dedicated home office, space for kids to actually spread out, and a lot large enough that the backyard doesn't feel like an afterthought. Houses for sale in norfolk with this kind of acreage inside city limits are genuinely rare, and Lansdale's settled character makes it a smart long-term bet.
