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.

June’s Norfolk Harborfest is a celebration of boats and their importance to local history, making it an educational spectacle for boat lovers of all ages.

Athletic excellence at Lake Taylor High
Students in Bromley can start their academic journey at Larrymore Elementary, before moving on to Azalea Gardens Middle and finishing up at Lake Taylor High School. The schools earned Niche grades of C-plus, C, and C, respectively. Lake Taylor High is noteworthy for its recent athletic success—the football team has won the state championship three times since 2012, finishing as runners-up several times as well. The boys’ basketball team won the state title in 2018 and the Lady Titans basketball team has won two state championships in recent years too, making Lake Taylor High a great place for aspiring athletes.Botanical beauty right next door
Norfolk’s famous Botanical Garden is just over a mile away from Bromley, allowing residents to make stunning nature walks a part of their daily routine. “The Botanical Garden is a huge draw for people from all over, and Bromley is right next door to it,” says Kennedy. Nearby Virginia Zoo makes a great escape for those looking for a wild day out and is just 5 miles away from Bromley.

Centrally located convenience
With its close proximity to I-64 and downtown Norfolk, Bromley provides easy access for commuters. Bromley bus stops take residents to and from the neighborhood, and the overall walkability of the area makes it easy for residents to get to nearby neighborhoods quickly and safely. And though the quietness of the area is a selling point, it’s still located near the airport—making it an attractive destination for travelers coming home after a long trip.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
