6809 Fordwick Dr, Norfolk, VA 23518

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.
