Why this home stands out
What sets 914 Widgeon Road apart is the combination of genuine square footage — 1,874 feet is meaningfully spacious for a mid-century Norfolk home — and an almost unbeatable position between two major military installations. The 1950 construction era typically means thicker walls, larger lot proportions, and a floor plan built around real rooms rather than open-concept compromises. That's a trade-off many buyers actively seek.
CORONADO and the Norfolk real estate market
914 Widgeon Road sits in a residential pocket of Norfolk that punches above its weight for everyday convenience. The surrounding streets carry the quiet, established character you'd expect from a neighborhood developed in the post-war boom — mature trees, modest setbacks, and neighbors who've been around long enough to wave hello. Norfolk itself is one of the most dynamic mid-size cities on the East Coast, anchored by one of the world's largest naval complexes and a downtown waterfront that keeps growing. If you're searching for a house for sale in Norfolk, this part of the city puts you close to the action without dropping you into the middle of it. You're inside the city limits, which means Norfolk city services, and you're positioned with quick access to both Interstate 64 and the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel corridor — handy whether your commute is military, civilian, or a mix of both. The neighborhood has a lived-in, unpretentious feel that tends to attract people who want substance over scenery.
