Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets 9525 Marina Drive apart is the combination of recent construction and a location that almost no other Norfolk address can match. Built in 2020, the home carries none of the deferred-maintenance concerns that come with older stock — everything from the mechanicals to the finishes reflects current building standards. Add a three-minute drive to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and you have a property that genuinely earns its place on a short list.

MARINA COTTAGES AT EAST BEACH and the Norfolk real estate market

Marina Drive sits in the northeastern corner of Norfolk, Virginia, in a stretch of the city where the Chesapeake Bay is never far from view. The surrounding streets have a quiet, residential character — wide lots, mature trees, and a pace that feels removed from the busier parts of town even though you're still well inside city limits. Norfolk itself is one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast, shaped for generations by its deep ties to the U.S. Navy and a waterfront that defines daily life here. The city has invested heavily in its cultural corridors, dining scene, and parks, so residents get genuine urban amenities without giving up the breathing room that this part of Norfolk provides. Neighbors here tend to be a mix of longtime locals and military families drawn by proximity to both JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and Naval Station Norfolk. It's the kind of address that feels settled and grounded — a real neighborhood, not a development that could be anywhere.

What's nearby

Daily errands are straightforward from Marina Drive. A Kroger and several neighborhood pharmacies are within a short drive, and the retail corridor along Shore Drive puts coffee shops, casual dining, and specialty grocers close at hand. Chesapeake Beach and the nearby boat ramps give waterfront access that residents use year-round for fishing, kayaking, and evening walks. First Landing State Park is only a few minutes east, offering trails through maritime forest right on the bay. For a sit-down meal or a weekend outing, the restaurants and shops of Virginia Beach's Chic's Beach neighborhood are a quick trip up the road.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

A three-minute drive to JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is genuinely rare — most addresses in Hampton Roads that claim 'close to base' still mean fifteen minutes on a good day. For a military family weighing a VA loan purchase, 9525 Marina Drive removes the commute equation almost entirely. The 2020 build year also means you're not inheriting someone else's deferred maintenance right before a PCS move.

For families upgrading

At 2,583 square feet with three full baths plus a half bath, 9525 Marina Drive gives a growing family real room to spread out. The 2020 construction means the layout reflects how people actually live today — open common areas, adequate storage, and bathrooms that don't require a renovation budget to feel current. The quiet residential streets nearby and easy access to First Landing State Park round out the picture for families who want space without sacrificing convenience.
