Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Built in 2008 and stretching across four full floors of living space, this home stands out for its sheer scale in a neighborhood where most properties run considerably smaller. Five bedrooms and four and a half baths give large households real breathing room, while the East Beach address puts waterfront dining, green parks, and a local brewery within a short walk of your front door.

EAST BEACH and the Norfolk real estate market

East Beach is one of Norfolk's most distinctive planned communities — a New Urbanist neighborhood designed from the ground up to feel like a classic coastal village. Wide sidewalks, front porches, and a mix of architectural styles give the streets a lived-in charm that newer subdivisions rarely achieve. When people search for east beach norfolk, they're often drawn by the walkability and the water, and both deliver here. The community sits along the Chesapeake Bay shoreline in the Ocean View corridor, offering easy access to the beach itself, a fountain square, and pocket parks woven throughout the grid. Norfolk as a whole is a city of distinct neighborhoods, and East Beach holds its own as one of the more cohesive and pedestrian-friendly pockets in the region. The broader Ocean View area has seen steady reinvestment over the years, and East Beach sits at the center of that momentum — a neighborhood with genuine character and a strong sense of community identity.

What's nearby

Daily life is easy here. Garden Pergola Park and Pleasant Avenue Park are both within a block, and East Beach Fountain Square and Park is just a short stroll away. For dinner, Surf Rider Bay Point and Longboards East Beach Waterfront Dining and Tiki Bar are both 0.2 miles out — walkable on a warm evening. Stony's Dockside Bar and Grill is another solid option a few blocks further. Riffle Farms Market & Co-op handles specialty grocery runs at 0.4 miles, while Food Lion and Dollar General are both under a mile. COVA Brewing Company is a neighborhood favorite for a casual evening out, and fitness options are plentiful with Fit Body Boot Camp, Little Creek Gym, and Xtras Fitness + Wellness all within half a mile.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is three minutes away — about as close as it gets in Hampton Roads. Naval Station Norfolk is reachable in roughly 13 minutes. For a household using a VA loan and working through BAH calculations, the location math is hard to beat. Five bedrooms means space for a growing family, a home office, or a dedicated guest room when family visits.

For families upgrading

If you've outgrown your current space, 4,230 square feet across five bedrooms and four and a half baths gives everyone room to spread out. The East Beach neighborhood adds lifestyle value on top of square footage — parks within a block, walkable restaurants, and a community feel that's genuinely hard to find at this scale in Norfolk.
