Why this home stands out
Nearly 4,000 square feet in a 1949-built home is a rare find anywhere in Hampton Roads, and Shirland Ave delivers exactly that. Four bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a footprint that gives every member of the household genuine breathing room — not just on paper, but in practice. The mid-century bones here mean solid construction, generous room proportions, and the kind of layout that actually works for real daily life.
MEADOWBROOK and the Norfolk real estate market
Shirland Ave sits in a quiet residential pocket of Norfolk that punches above its weight for convenience. The surrounding streets carry that classic mid-century Norfolk character — mature trees, established lots, and neighbors who have been around long enough to know each other's names. Norfolk itself is one of the most dynamic cities on the East Coast, anchored by one of the world's largest naval installations and layered with arts, dining, waterfront access, and a genuinely walkable downtown. This particular corner of the city keeps you close to everything without putting you in the middle of the noise. You're five minutes from Naval Station Norfolk, a short drive from the Lafayette River corridor, and well-positioned to reach both the interstate and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel without a complicated route. Daily errands, weekend plans, and the commute to base all flow naturally from here.

A VA loan can make getting into nearly 4,000 square feet here very achievable.
For families upgrading
If you've outgrown your current space, 3,999 square feet across four bedrooms and two and a half baths gives everyone room to breathe.
