Old-school charm meets downtown Norfolk access
Convenience is the name of the game in Bromley, with easy access to just about anything residents could need—all without giving up the cozy feel and old school charm that comes with the area. “It’s what I would call an older, more established neighborhood,” says Vanda Kennedy, real estate agent with World Class Realty and longtime resident of the area. “It’s got a very quaint feel, but it’s also very open and welcoming.” Despite its proximity to the interstate, the airport, and downtown Norfolk, the Bromley neighborhood maintains a quiet, relaxed feel to it. Those looking for all the amenities of urban living combined with suburban sensibilities can find it in Bromley.
Homes without the hubbub
Houses in Bromley are a mix of traditional styles, with most of them being built in the 1950s. Made up primarily of Cape Cod and ranch style homes, prices in the neighborhood range from $300,000 to $490,000 for homes with three-to-four bedrooms—though homes on the lakefront sometimes go for even higher. Thanks to the suburban feel of the area, homeowners can expect sizeable lots with their own front/back yards and attached garages too.

Nearby necessities and easy access to downtown
Residents of Bromley don’t have to sacrifice access to shopping and dining just because of the neighborhood’s quiet nature. “You’re close to the interstate and downtown, so you have a lot of options depending on what you’re in the mood for,” says Kennedy. “Bromley itself has a couple different shopping centers too.” For those quick trips for a missing dinner ingredient, Food Lion serves as the neighborhood’s destination for groceries. Those looking for a quick bite without going into downtown Norfolk can find it at Franco’s Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria—conveniently located right next to the Food Lion.
