Why this home stands out
What sets 5711 Cornick Road apart is the land. A 1.27-acre lot inside city limits is genuinely uncommon, and this 1919-built home sits on every square foot of it. You're getting 2,075 square feet of living space across four bedrooms and two baths, with the kind of yard that most Norfolk addresses simply can't offer — room to breathe, room to garden, room to make your own.
LANSDALE and the Norfolk real estate market
Lansdale is one of Norfolk's quieter residential pockets — established, tree-lined, and largely off the radar of buyers who focus only on the waterfront corridors. The neighborhood carries an unhurried character that's increasingly rare this close to the city core. Streets here feel lived-in in the best sense: mature landscaping, a mix of housing eras, and neighbors who tend to stay. If you've been browsing homes for sale norfolk va and finding yourself priced out of larger lots, Lansdale is worth a closer look. Norfolk itself is a city of real variety — military history, a working port, arts venues, and a food scene that punches above its size — and Lansdale puts you close to all of it without dropping you into the middle of the bustle. Norfolk sits within the broader Hampton Roads metro, meaning you're also well-positioned for the Peninsula, Virginia Beach, and beyond via the interstate network.

For different buyers
For military families relocating
JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is roughly eight minutes away, and USCG Base Portsmouth is about eleven — both well within the range most service members target for a manageable commute. A VA loan can make a property like this especially accessible, and the lot size means you're not trading space for proximity. BAH rates in the Hampton Roads area have historically supported ownership at this price tier.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and 2,075 square feet give a growing household real room to spread out, but the 1.27-acre lot is the headline. Backyards this size inside Norfolk city limits are hard to come by — it's the kind of outdoor space where kids actually play outside, projects get built, and summer gatherings have room to breathe. Princess Anne Park adds even more green space just two-tenths of a mile away.
For buyers drawn to character
Built in 1919, this home has more than a century of history behind it. If you're drawn to houses for sale in norfolk va that have actual bones — original era architecture, a story to tell, and the kind of craftsmanship that predates production building — 5711 Cornick Road deserves your attention. Pair that age with 1.27 acres and you have something genuinely singular in today's Norfolk market.
