Why this home stands out

New construction in an established Norfolk zip code is a rare combination, and 5980 Curlew Drive delivers exactly that. Built in 2026, this four-bedroom, 2.1-bath home gives you modern finishes, current building codes, and a full 2,169 square feet without the wait of a build-to-order timeline.

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 balances quiet residential streets with genuine everyday convenience. Norfolk itself is one of Hampton Roads' most storied cities — home to a working waterfront, a walkable downtown, and a military presence that shapes the community's character in the best way. While browsing homes for sale in norfolk va 23503 and surrounding zip codes, buyers often discover that Norfolk's east side offers newer infrastructure and easy access to Interstate 64, making commutes across the region straightforward. The neighborhood around Curlew Drive is composed primarily of single-family homes, giving the block a settled, owner-occupied feel even as new construction like this one raises the bar on what's available. Parks, retail corridors, and dining options are all within a short drive, and the broader Norfolk grid means you're never far from whatever you need.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy from 5980 Curlew Drive. Interstate 64 is just minutes away, connecting you to the rest of Hampton Roads quickly. Military Gate 4 at Norfolk Naval Shipyard and USCG Base Portsmouth are both roughly an 11-minute drive, making this address a practical choice for service members stationed at either installation. Grocery options, pharmacies, and fast-casual dining line the nearby Military Highway and Virginia Beach Boulevard corridors. Northside Park and Lake Taylor are both close by for outdoor time, and Norfolk Premium Outlets is a short hop east on I-64 for weekend shopping.

For different buyers
