Old homes next to the Lafayette River

Bordered by Church Street and Lafayette Drive, the small Lindenwood neighborhood is known for its architecture and scenery. The area is primarily residential and full of homes over 100 years old next to brand new residences. Lindenwood Elementary School serves the community and is close to many houses. Locals agree that the main draw to the neighborhood is that it “is close to Ghent and downtown, so it is also close to the action,” says Joe Ruzzi, an associate broker with Greentree Realty who has served the area for over 10 years.

New and old Norfolk cottages

In Lindenwood, Coastal and Craftsman cottages from the early and mid-20th century sit alongside more modern bungalows and cottages. “Lots of places are being replaced or rehabilitated,” says Ruzzi, mainly because “some homes were built as early as the 1800s.” Home prices range from $140,000 for a two-bedroom house to $270,000 for a newer four-bedroom. Established trees, from towering magnolias to pink crape myrtles, line the sidewalks at the heart of the community and shade many local homes.

The thoroughfares of Tidewater Drive and Church Street

Much like the rest of Norfolk, the quiet streets of Lindenwood often have locals taking strolls in the morning or evening. For trips downtown, locals can choose either to drive or take the bus system that runs along Tidewater Drive and Church Street. Residents are 5 ½ miles from Norfolk International Airport for trips outside the city. The area is 3 miles from the Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters and the Eastern Virginia Medical Center, which are both major research hospitals.

Breweries and local hotspots

The western end of Lindenwood is home to many revitalized areas that have become popular hotspots. Maker’s Craft Brewery is a local brewery that won gold in the 2019 Virginia Craft Beer Cup for its Rauchbier. The brewery also offers a smoke room for those looking to match their pint with a cigar. Locals can also head outside the neighborhood to other breweries such as The Veil Brewing Co. or local restaurants like Union Taco. Watergate 5 is close by and an excellent spot for quick kitchen restocking. The area is 3 miles south of Food Lion and other big-box stores for larger purchases.

Pollard Street Playground

Pollard Street Playground is the only park in the neighborhood and is a common weekend destination for residents. The park provides two brightly colored playsets and a basketball court and baseball field for local athletes. The park is next to the railroad tracks, so families can watch trains thundering by during playtime.

The noises of downtown Norfolk

Lindenwood residents are bordered by very popular streets to the east and west and the train tracks to the south, making the neighborhood’s outskirts quite loud. Quieter streets tend to be found in the heart of the neighborhood around Lafayette River.
