Military members and civilians make Roosevelt Gardens home base
Sitting between the Joint Expeditionary Base and the Norfolk Naval Station, the largest base, lies Roosevelt Gardens. Military families make up most of the population “where houses move very fast due to its proximity to the naval bases,” says Realtor Rhonda Mclemore with Own Real Estate. The neighborhood lies 8 miles from downtown Norfolk, and the Norfolk International Airport is a quick 3 miles away. Residents can see the planes leave and arrive from their homes. Locals don’t have to travel far to find popular dining destinations, local shops and stunning water views.
The community gathers along Tarrallton Drive
The Tarrallton Community Center sits right next to Tarrallton Elementary School. Kids can visit right after school to join in on the Schools Out Afternoon Recreation program. The center also hosts creative art classes and educational workshops for residents. Locals young and old visit the Community Center for family game nights. Outside the community center, Tarrallton Parks spans 70 acres. It has six baseball diamonds, a playground, soccer fields and tennis courts for everyone to enjoy. Those who live along Mona Avenue visit the pocket park there to hang out on the playground equipment or sit in the shade of the many trees to enjoy a book.

Residents walk past Cape Cods and ranch homes
Roosevelt Gardens features homes from the 1950s and 1960s. Three-bedroom homes often sell for 200,000, while four-bedroom homes might sell for $300,000. This neighborhood is filled with tree-lined sidewalks and crosswalks, making it easy for residents to walk around the neighborhood. “Many of the homes are little ranch homes and what we like to call our Norfolk special, which are our Cape Cods,” says Mclemore. Near the Little Creek Reservoir or what locals call “Pretty Lake,” larger waterfront retreats feature their own marinas, giving homeowners direct access to take their boats out and explore the Chesapeake Bay or fish for largemouth bass.
