Why this home stands out
What sets 8248 Simons Drive apart is the combination of a generous 0.2-acre lot and a location that puts two major military installations within a six-minute drive. Homes in Oakdale Farms at this lot size don't come up constantly, and the immediate access to Village Park — literally a tenth of a mile away — gives the property a backyard-extension quality that compact in-town lots simply can't match.
OAKDALE FARMS and the Norfolk real estate market
Oakdale Farms is one of those Norfolk neighborhoods that rewards people who actually live in it rather than just pass through. The streets are quiet and established, the lots are real, and neighbors tend to stay. The area sits in the northern part of Norfolk — and if you've ever searched 'norfolk va in what county,' the answer is that Norfolk is an independent city in Virginia, meaning it operates outside any county jurisdiction entirely. That distinction matters for property taxes, services, and governance, and it's worth knowing before you buy. Oakdale Farms itself carries the character of mid-century Virginia residential development: modest, solid homes on proper lots, with mature trees and a neighborhood rhythm that feels lived-in rather than manufactured. You're close to the water without being on it, and you're close to the city's core without the density that comes with it.
What's nearby
Daily errands are genuinely easy from Simons Drive. Village Park is a two-minute walk at 0.1 miles, and the Northside Park Mountain Bike Trail is just 0.2 miles out — great if you want to stay active without driving anywhere. For food, Pollard's Chicken at Tidewater is 0.4 miles away, Mom & Pops Family Restaurant is 0.6 miles, and McDonald's covers the quick-stop need at 0.5 miles. Coaster Coffee at 0.4 miles handles your morning routine. Grocery options include Watergate 7, LA K-TRACHITA STORE, and Food Lion, all within 0.7 miles. Planet Fitness is 0.8 miles away when you want a full workout.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Naval Station Norfolk and MARFORCOM Norfolk are both six minutes from 8248 Simons Drive — a commute that's genuinely rare to find. If you're working with a VA loan or calculating BAH, this location puts you in one of the strongest proximity positions in the entire Norfolk market. A 0.2-acre lot also gives military families the outdoor space that tight base-adjacent neighborhoods often sacrifice.
For first-time buyers
For a first purchase, 8248 Simons Drive checks the fundamentals: a detached single-family home, a real lot, a walkable neighborhood with parks and groceries close by, and a location in Norfolk that keeps commute options open in multiple directions. The 1942 construction means character and solid bones — the kind of home that rewards attention rather than one that was built to a price point.
