Suburban living with commuter access in Brandon Place

Located to the northeast of Norfolk, Brandon Place is a smaller, sun-basked neighborhood with grid-style roads and outstanding access to the surrounding area. "It's got very good road access. You've got Chesapeake Boulevard right there, you've got Norview Avenue access and you've got the airport not too far away," says Realtor Tom Thrasher of Greenbrier Real Estate & Appraisals Inc. "From a transportation point of view, it's excellent." From convenient commuting to its proximity to the city, Brandon Place is an intriguing neighborhood for buyers in the market for a home near the coast.
