524 Meads Rd, Norfolk, VA 23505

Why this home stands out

What sets 524 Meads Road apart is its rare combination of base proximity and neighborhood depth. Four minutes to Naval Station Norfolk and five to MARFORCOM Norfolk means commute stress stays low, while a walkable stretch of restaurants, parks, and groceries means daily life rarely requires a long drive. For a mid-century home in the 23505 zip code, that pairing is genuinely hard to find.

SUSSEX OF NORFOLK and the Norfolk real estate market

Meads Road sits in a quiet residential pocket of Norfolk where post-war bungalows and cottage-style homes line streets shaded by mature trees. The area carries the unhurried feel of an established neighborhood — neighbors tend to know each other, and foot traffic on the sidewalks is a mix of dog-walkers and families heading to nearby parks. Norfolk itself is a city of real texture: a working waterfront, a thriving arts district, and one of the densest concentrations of military infrastructure on the East Coast. The 23505 zip code sits in the city's north end, which keeps you close to the water and connected to the rest of Hampton Roads via I-64. If you are comparing homes for sale in Norfolk, the north end consistently draws buyers who want urban convenience without sacrificing a residential feel. There is a lot to love about putting down roots here.
