Older single-family homes and modern townhouses
Foxhall offers homebuyers a mix of single-family home options, from 1920s and 1930s bungalows and Cape Cods to 1950s ranch styles to newer homes with traditional aesthetics, including gabled roofs and modern features like attached garages. In addition to its single-family homes, Foxhall has a newly constructed modern townhouse community, also with traditional elements, including columned front stoops and shutters at the windows. Home sizes range from 800 to 2,300 square feet with two to four bedrooms, and sale prices fall between $150,000 and $425,000. “You’re starting to see a revitalization of the older Norfolk neighborhoods like Foxhall,” Plemmons says. “More and more of the older homes are being updated, and in some cases, older homes that are in disrepair are being torn down, and new houses are built in their place. Nine new houses have been built in Foxhall over the past five years.”
