6916 Riddick St, Norfolk, VA 23518

Why this home stands out

Built in 1955, this 1,700-square-foot ranch carries the bones that mid-century Norfolk construction is known for — thick walls, a straightforward floor plan, and a lot that gives you actual yard space. Four bedrooms in a home this size means everyone gets a room without the house feeling cavernous. Two full baths keep morning routines moving. The proximity to two major installations without the price premium of waterfront zip codes is the quiet advantage here.

MEADOWBROOK FOREST and the Norfolk real estate market

Riddick Street sits in the 23518 zip code on Norfolk's east side, a part of the city where the streets are lined with established trees and the neighbors have often been around long enough to wave hello. The area has a working, unpretentious character — no gated entrances, no HOA gatekeeping — just a grid of solid post-war homes close to everything you actually need. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast, home to the world's largest naval station, a thriving arts district downtown, and miles of waterfront. The east side keeps you connected to all of it without the commute headaches. Families comparing homes for sale in Norfolk often land in this corridor precisely because it delivers square footage, yard space, and location without requiring a compromise on any one of those fronts.
