5480 Bayberry Dr, Norfolk, VA 23502

Why this home stands out

What sets 5480 Bayberry Drive apart is the combination of generous square footage — 3,038 square feet — on a true quarter-acre lot, all in a city where that kind of elbow room is genuinely hard to find. Built in 1959, the home carries the solid bones and proportions of mid-century construction: wider rooms, deeper lots, and a layout designed for real daily living rather than the compact footprints common in newer builds. Four bedrooms and three full baths means everyone gets breathing room.

POPLAR HALLS and the Norfolk real estate market

5480 Bayberry Drive sits in the 23502 zip code on Norfolk's east side — a part of the city that tends to fly under the radar but rewards those who look closely. The streets here are established and tree-lined, with a mix of mid-century ranches and two-story homes on generous lots that give the area a settled, unhurried character. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast, shaped by its deep ties to the U.S. Navy and a waterfront identity that runs through everything from its dining scene to its parks. Living here puts you within easy reach of downtown Norfolk's arts district, the Chrysler Museum, and the Elizabeth River waterfront — while keeping you in a quieter residential pocket that doesn't feel like you're in the middle of it all. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often gravitate toward the 23502 corridor once they realize how much space and accessibility it delivers relative to other parts of the city.
