Our read on this home

At a glance

Meet 9601 22nd Bay Street — a 2020-built, 3-bed, 3.1-bath townhome-style residence in THE TERN with 2,664 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, four minutes from JEB Little Creek-Fort Story and steps from East Beach's waterfront lifestyle.

Why this home stands out

Built in 2020, this 2,664-square-foot home delivers modern construction in a neighborhood where newer builds are genuinely rare. Three full baths plus a half bath across three bedrooms means everyone has breathing room. Add a walkable pocket of restaurants, a craft brewery, a local market, and beach access all within a quarter mile, and the everyday quality of life here is hard to match anywhere else in Norfolk.

THE TERN and the Norfolk real estate market

THE TERN sits inside Norfolk's East Ocean View corridor — one of the city's most sought-after coastal pockets, anchored by the broad sandy stretch of East Beach and a walkable village-style commercial strip along Shore Drive. The neighborhood has a relaxed, community-forward character: neighbors wave, dogs are everywhere, and the beach is genuinely part of daily life rather than a weekend destination. When people searching for houses for sale in Norfolk discover this area, they're often surprised by how much lifestyle it delivers in a compact footprint. Norfolk itself is a dynamic mid-size city with a deep military heritage, a growing arts and food scene, and easy access to the rest of Hampton Roads via Interstate 64. The East Ocean View section specifically has seen meaningful reinvestment over the past decade, and THE TERN represents some of the newest residential construction in the area — a modern build in a neighborhood with real roots.

What's nearby

Daily errands are genuinely easy here. Riffle Farms Market & Co-op is 0.1 miles away for local and specialty groceries, with a Food Lion 0.9 miles out for a full shop. When you want a cold craft beer after a long day, COVA Brewing Company is just down the block. Mahalo Poke House is equally close for a quick, fresh meal. East Beach Fountain Square and Park is a 0.1-mile stroll, and 17th Bay Beach Access is 0.4 miles away for direct sand-and-water time. Fit Body Boot Camp and two additional fitness studios are all within half a mile, so skipping leg day has no good excuse here.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

JEB Little Creek-Fort Story is four minutes from your front door — about as close as it gets without living on base. Naval Station Norfolk is a manageable 13-minute drive. Whether you're using a VA loan or working with BAH, a 2020-built home with 2,664 square feet and three full baths gives a military family real space without a long commute eating into your time.

For buyers drawn to character

If you want to buy a house in Norfolk that puts you inside a real neighborhood rather than a generic subdivision, THE TERN delivers. You're walking distance from a local co-op market, a craft brewery, beach park access, and a tight-knit community that actually uses all of it. The 2020 construction means you get modern systems and finishes without sacrificing the coastal character that makes this corner of Norfolk genuinely special.
