Meadowbrook Forest Homes for Rent

Meadowbrook Forest is a suburban neighborhood in Norfolk, bordered by North Military Highway and Lake Whitehurst. Developed in the 1960s, the area offers an easy commute to Norfolk Naval Station and coastal recreation at Oceanview's Beaches. The neighborhood features a variety of home styles, including cottage-style homes, ranches, colonials, and larger contemporary lakeside homes on Hunter’s Trail. Streets are lined with gas lamps, adding a picturesque touch to evening walks. While the local schools provide essential education services, the district has expanded its breakfast and lunch programs to include free meals for all students. Meadowbrook Forest lacks direct park access but is close to the Norfolk Botanical Garden and a community garden on Johnstons Road. For indoor activities, residents can visit the nearby AMF bowling alley. Dining options include Franco’s Italian comfort food, the Azalea Inn & Time Out Sports Bar with Greek cuisine, and Bel Air Pancake House for breakfast. Shopping is convenient with Lidl, Food Lion, and Norfolk Premium Outlets nearby. The active Lake Whitehurst West Civic League hosts events like an annual yard sale, summer block party, and holiday social. While some amenities are within walking distance, a car is recommended for broader access. Interstate 64 and several bus stops along North Military Highway facilitate commuting, and Norfolk International Airport is just 2 miles east.
