Why this home stands out
Meadowbrook Terrace homes from this era were built with generous square footage at a time when rooms were actually meant to be lived in — and 6809 Fordwick Drive delivers that with 2,254 square feet spread across four bedrooms. The half-bath adds everyday practicality, the 1964 construction means solid mid-century bones, and the location puts two of Hampton Roads' largest military installations within a single-digit commute. That combination is genuinely hard to find at this size.
MEADOWBROOK TERRACE and the Norfolk real estate market
Meadowbrook Terrace sits in the northeastern corner of Norfolk, a part of the city where the streets are wide, the trees are mature, and the neighbors have often been around long enough to know each other by name. It's a residential pocket that feels settled without feeling sleepy — close enough to the energy of the coast and the commercial corridors of Shore Drive, but insulated from the noise. If you've been browsing houses for sale in Norfolk VA and wondering where the square footage-to-character ratio still makes sense, this neighborhood consistently comes up. Norfolk itself is a city of distinct districts, and this corner of it carries the unhurried rhythm of a place where people actually put down roots. Fordwick Drive in particular is a straightforward, tree-lined street — the kind where kids ride bikes and people wave from driveways. It's an easy address to feel at home on.
What's nearby
Daily errands from 6809 Fordwick Drive are genuinely effortless. Lidl is just 0.2 miles away for grocery runs, with Food Lion another option at 0.5 miles and Dollar General at 0.4 miles for quick stops. Coffee is handled by 180 Productions practically at your doorstep, and Wawa at 0.4 miles covers both coffee and a fast bite. China One Chinese Restaurant rounds out the close-by dining options at 0.4 miles. When it's time to move, Anytime Fitness is less than a mile away at 0.9 miles, and Oakmont North Playgrounds — also at 0.9 miles — gives families a solid outdoor option without a drive.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is an 8-minute drive from 6809 Fordwick Drive, and Naval Station Norfolk is roughly 10 minutes out — two of the region's most active installations within easy reach. For service members using a VA loan or working through BAH calculations, the commute math here is straightforward. Four bedrooms gives families the space to actually spread out, and Meadowbrook Terrace has a long history of welcoming military households.
For families upgrading
Four bedrooms and 2,254 square feet means everyone gets their own space — and the half-bath keeps the morning routine from turning into a negotiation. The 1964 build gives this home the kind of room proportions that newer construction often trades away for open-concept layouts. Meadowbrook Terrace is an established neighborhood with a genuine sense of community, and Fordwick Drive is the type of street where kids can actually play outside.
