Why this home stands out
At just under 5,000 square feet, this is one of the larger single-family footprints you'll find anywhere in East Beach. Five full baths and a half bath means nobody's waiting in line on a busy morning. The 2004 build year puts it squarely in the neighborhood's planned-community era — designed from the ground up with walkability, architecture standards, and coastal character baked in, not retrofitted.
EAST BEACH and the Norfolk real estate market
East Beach is one of Norfolk's most intentional neighborhoods — a new-urbanist, master-planned community built along the Chesapeake Bay shoreline in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Wide sidewalks, front porches, alley-loaded garages, and a consistent coastal architectural palette give the streets a cohesion you don't find in most Hampton Roads neighborhoods. When people search for east beach norfolk, they're usually looking for exactly this: a walkable, water-adjacent community with real neighborhood identity inside a major city. Norfolk itself is the urban anchor of Hampton Roads — home to the world's largest naval base, a growing downtown arts and dining scene, and easy highway access to the rest of the region. East Beach sits in the northeastern corner of the city, bordered by the Chesapeake Bay to the north and the Lafayette River watershed to the south, giving residents that coastal feel without leaving city limits. It's a neighborhood that rewards people who want to walk to dinner, bike to the water, and still be close to everything.
What's nearby
Daily life is genuinely easy from 9678 25th Bay Street. Riffle Farms Market & Co-op is just 0.2 miles away for local and specialty groceries, with Food Lion a mile out for a full weekly shop.

For fitness, you have three options within half a mile — Fit Body Boot Camp, Project SixKiller Performance, and Xtras Fitness + Wellness. Pleasant Avenue Park, East Beach Fountain Square and Park, and Garden Pergola Park are all within 0.3 miles, making outdoor time genuinely spontaneous rather than planned.
