Our read on this home

At a glance

8272 Fernwood Drive is a 1954-built, 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath single-family home in Norfolk, Virginia, offering 1,532 square feet of living space just eight minutes from both JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and Naval Station Norfolk — a rare dual-base location that's hard to beat.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 8272 Fernwood Drive apart is that location trifecta: two major military installations within eight minutes, a half-mile grocery run to ALDI or Walmart Neighborhood Market, and a walkable cluster of restaurants and cafes right outside your door. Add a mid-century footprint with room to personalize, and you have a property that works equally well as a long-term home base or a stepping stone in Norfolk's established east side.

FOREST PARK and the Norfolk real estate market

Fernwood Drive sits in a quiet, tree-lined pocket on Norfolk's east side — a part of the city that has stayed genuinely residential while everything around it has grown more convenient. The streets here are calm, the lots are generous for the era, and neighbors tend to stick around. If you've been searching for a house for sale in Norfolk that puts you close to the water, close to the bases, and close to everyday life without dropping you into a high-traffic corridor, this part of the 23518 zip code delivers. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast — home to the world's largest naval station, a revitalized downtown waterfront, and a food and arts scene that punches well above its size. The east side connects you to all of it while keeping the neighborhood feel intact. Tarrallton Park and Oakmont North Playgrounds are both under a mile away, giving the area a lived-in, family-friendly texture that newer developments rarely replicate.

What's nearby

Daily errands are genuinely effortless from Fernwood Drive. ALDI and Walmart Neighborhood Market are both within half a mile, and Watergate 3 International Food Market — a local favorite for international ingredients — is just 0.6 miles out. When you want a quick bite, Wings Wings Wings, Antonio's Pizza & Italian Ristorante, and ROLOP are all within a five-minute drive. Morning coffee is covered by Apelu Island Cafe, a neighborhood gem just half a mile away. Muscle Beach East Gym and Anytime Fitness are both under a mile for your workout routine, and Tarrallton Park and Oakmont North Playgrounds give you green space within easy walking distance.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Eight minutes to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and eight minutes to Naval Station Norfolk — that's a genuinely rare combination that keeps commute stress low no matter where orders send you on base. VA loan eligibility can make ownership here straightforward, and BAH rates in the Norfolk area have historically aligned well with the price range this neighborhood represents. It's the kind of address that makes a PCS feel manageable.

For first-time buyers

If you're looking to buy a house in Norfolk for the first time, 8272 Fernwood Drive offers a compelling entry point: a solid 1954-built single-family home with 1,532 square feet, a half-bath in addition to the full bath, and a neighborhood that's established rather than speculative. The walkable errands, nearby parks, and dual-base proximity mean you're not sacrificing convenience for affordability — you're getting both.
