Foxhall combines neighborhood charm with connectivity

Foxhall is an established Norfolk neighborhood known for its mix of vintage and newer homes on wide, tree-shaded streets. Its convenient location near Interstate 64 and U.S. Route 13 puts military installations, employment centers and the beach within a short drive. Residents enjoy having a central neighborhood park and a variety of shopping and dining options nearby. Proximity to Norfolk Botanical Garden and Downtown Norfolk add to Foxhall’s appeal.

Homes range from century-old bungalows to brand-new townhouses

Along the gridded, tree-lined residential streets of Foxhall, you’ll find a mix of single-family homes, from early-1900s Craftsman bungalows, Cape Cods and American Foursquares to midcentury ranch-style houses and 2010s New Traditionals. These homes sit on tidy lots framed by narrow sidewalks and driveways. Yards have plenty of room for gardens, sheds and in-ground pools. If you’re looking for a lower maintenance option, the Edge at Azalea community has modern townhouses built after 2020. “Foxhall is a much older Norfolk neighborhood … It goes back to people wanting to live close to the naval base, and it’s still that way today,” says Wendy Plemmons, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices RW Towne Realty. “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.” Detached homes range from the lower $100,000s to the lower $400,000s. Townhouses fall between the mid- and upper $300,000s, and units have monthly HOA fees of around $130.
