Why this home stands out

New construction in 2026 means everything — the roof, the mechanicals, the finishes — starts the clock at zero. You're not inheriting someone else's deferred maintenance; you're the first person to turn the key. Four bedrooms and 2,169 square feet give a growing household real room to breathe, and the half-bath keeps the main living areas practical for everyday life.

RIVER FORREST SHORES and the Norfolk real estate market

Curlew Drive sits in the 23502 zip code on Norfolk's east side, a part of the city that trades the tourist-facing waterfront bustle for quieter residential streets and genuine neighborhood rhythm. Norfolk itself is one of Hampton Roads' most layered cities — home to world-class naval infrastructure, a walkable arts district downtown, and pockets of tight-knit community that have been here for generations. The east side has been drawing new-construction interest precisely because it offers more square footage per dollar than many comparable Norfolk neighborhoods closer to the urban core. Poplar Hall Park and Hunts Pointe Park are both within a mile, giving the immediate area a greener feel than the zip code's industrial surroundings might suggest. Daily errands are manageable, the drive to the interstate is straightforward, and the two nearby bases make this corner of Norfolk particularly practical for military households weighing Norfolk homes for sale.

What's nearby

Hampton Roads Sports Academy is just 0.2 miles away — an easy walk for anyone with active kids or a personal fitness routine. Top Flight Gymnastics Camp and Excalibur Gymnastics are both about 0.6 miles out, rounding out a surprisingly strong concentration of athletic facilities in the immediate area. For food, Haven Inn Bar & Grill is half a mile away, and Ichran Japanese Ramen is 0.7 miles out for a quick weeknight dinner. Grocery options include Trinidad Latin Store and Royal Bazaar Indian Asian Market, both under a mile, alongside a Dollar General for quick household runs. Tim Hortons and Cool Flames Cafe cover the coffee angle within a mile.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

USCG Base Portsmouth and Norfolk Naval Shipyard are each about 11 minutes away — a commute that keeps morning schedules sane through any rotation. VA loan eligibility pairs well with new construction, and 2026-built homes sidestep the inspection surprises that older stock can bring. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk will find that fresh construction at this location is a rare combination.

For families upgrading

Four bedrooms and 2,169 square feet give a growing family genuine flexibility — a dedicated guest room, a home office, or space for a new addition without immediately outgrowing the floor plan. New construction means you set the tone from day one: your paint colors, your routines, your home. Families weighing homes for sale zoned for Booker T. Washington High School and homes for sale zoned for Ghent School will want to put Curlew Drive on their list.
