Why this home stands out
Built in 1941, this home carries the kind of architectural bones that newer construction simply can't replicate — solid proportions, a compact footprint that's easy to maintain, and a lot that gives you genuine outdoor space without overwhelming upkeep. Three bedrooms and two full baths fit a range of household sizes, and the location puts you equidistant from two of Hampton Roads' most significant military installations. That's a rare combination of character and convenience.
ALL OTHERS AREA 12 and the Norfolk real estate market
Tidewater Drive is one of Norfolk's great connector corridors — a long, well-traveled artery that links the city's central neighborhoods to the waterfront districts to the north and the downtown core to the south. The stretch around 6220 sits in a working, lived-in part of Norfolk where longtime residents and newer arrivals share blocks lined with mid-century homes, small businesses, and accessible green space. It's the kind of neighborhood where you actually know your neighbors. City of norfolk real estate along Tidewater Drive tends to attract buyers who want authenticity over polish — people who see value in a home with history and a location that's genuinely central. Norfolk itself is a city of distinct districts, and this address puts you within easy reach of several of them. Whether you're headed toward the Elizabeth River waterfront, the Ghent arts district, or the broad commercial corridors of Military Highway, the geography here works in your favor. Norfolk's infrastructure, parks system, and cultural institutions are all within a reasonable drive.
What's nearby

When you need to stretch or work out, Chesapeake Athletic Club is under a mile away.
