Bromley pairs vintage homes with access to nature
Bromley is an established residential neighborhood in Norfolk where tree-lined streets end in cul-de-sacs and highways, shops and restaurants are a short drive away. Buyers can choose from vintage midcentury homes and newer builds, and with a significant portion of the neighborhood bordering Lake Whitehurst, there’s waterfront property and recreational opportunities. Norfolk Botanical Garden is a prominent neighbor, spanning around 175 acres and featuring more than 60 themed gardens. Norfolk International Airport and Interstate 64 are less than a mile away.
A mix of midcentury homes, revivals and some new construction
Most of Bromley’s housing stock is ranch-style homes and Cape Cods from the 1950s and 1960s, but in the Glengariff subdivision, you can find split-levels, Colonial and Greek Revivals, as well as new construction. The subdivision, which sits on a peninsula that extends into Lake Whitehurst, also offers waterfront property. “It’s what I would call an older, more established neighborhood,” says Vanda Kennedy, a real estate agent with World Class Realty. “It’s got a very quaint feel, but it’s also very open and welcoming.” Most homes range from the lower $200,000s to the lower $400,000s. However, Glengariff properties can reach the mid-$700,000s.
