“Judy new exactly what we wanted and where we wanted to buy. She narrowed it down so didn't waste time seeing places that didn't interest us. She responded immediately whenever we reached out to her. She was straightforward with us and told us the pros and cons of every place we visited. We got exactly what we wanted.”
“James is the best realtor I've worked by far. I've moved a lot meaning I've bought and sold many properties and James' dedication and professionalism stands out as unique and uncommon. James made this sell very easy, taking care of all the details and anticipating what would be needed next. He landed on a selling price higher than we had imagined and he called it right. We found a buyer at that exact price. I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend James and his staff for you next purchase or sell.”
“This is our second time working with Debra as our realtor, and there’s no question why we chose her again—she’s simply outstanding at what she does. After our first experience with her seven years ago, my wife and I knew we’d work with her again when the time came. What truly sets Debra apart is the way she continues to stay connected. For the past seven years, she’s dropped by before every holiday with thoughtful, delicious treats—something we’ve come to really look forward to and appreciate. When it comes to buying a home, having Debra by your side is a huge advantage. She genuinely looks out for your best interests and has an amazing ability to understand what you’re looking for—even before you say it. Debra goes above and beyond in every way, and we’re so grateful for the care and dedication she brings to her work.”

“Carla was referred to us from a neighborhood friend and we could not have been more IMPRESSED with her! We had other choices in selecting an agent but none had the same level of professionalism, market knowledge & attention to detail as Carla. She was strategic in her marketing and price position which resulting in mutiple offers & no contingencies in a summer market that had definitely slowed. We sold above the asking price in 4 days! She is Our forever realtor and we will definitely be referring her to others! Thank you Carla for a job well done! You are the BEST!”

“Bree navigated tricky circumstances. She was 2 hours away and not local but, she took the necessary steps to make it not negatively impact the buying process. She was personable while still being professional. When things went wrong she took quick action and made me glad a chose her despite being a far distance away. She is a natural and knowledgeable in real estate. Anyone would be lucky to have her represent them. She made me feel important and like I was the only client she was dealing with at the time. Thank yu so much Bree. I'm a big fan :-)”
“Amy offered solid advice to help ready our home for sale. She suggested what items needed to be updated to sell quickly, provided staging advice, offered to help clean when we were feeling overwhelmed, was readily available when we had questions, and was present for the entire day of our pre-inspection. This was the first time we had ever sold a home and we were extremely nervous. She was very reassuring and rightfully so. Her suggested sale price was spot on. We had 3 showings and 2 offers within 24 hours. We would highly recommend Amy to anyone!”

Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lakewood real estate market, updated for August 2025. *
The typical home value in Lakewood is projected to be $747,500 for the month of July. June’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the neighborhood to be $747,500—up 67.04% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, city-level data pegged home values at $332,000 in Norfolk for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $335,500 in July.
The median listing price for homes in Lakewood grew 1.93% from May to June, bringing the current median listing price to $739,000. Based on projected data for July, listing prices may continue to grow.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract has been fairly steady year-over-year. In June 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 22.5 days, compared to 24 days in June 2024. However, in recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be rising. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this July.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Lakewood offers residents a welcoming, walkable community with green spaces, convenient local amenities, quality schools, and a tight-knit, active neighborhood culture.
Lakewood unfolds along the Lafayette River with shady streets, roomy yards, and a relaxed, neighborly rhythm just minutes from downtown Norfolk. Weekends often revolve around the water—paddle at high tide, watch egrets working the marsh edges, or head to the riverside trails near Lochhaven and cap the afternoon with a visit to the riverside galleries and lawns at the Hermitage Museum & Gardens. Families love how close they are to marquee attractions: giraffes and tigers at the Virginia Zoo, seasonal blooms and evening light shows at Norfolk Botanical Garden, and Monarch games and lectures at Old Dominion University—all a short drive from home.
Education options are a strong draw. Lakewood residents are served by Norfolk Public Schools, with enrichment programs and citywide academies coordinated through Norfolk Public Schools. Independent choices such as Norfolk Collegiate add flexibility for families seeking smaller class sizes and robust arts and athletics. After school, kids spill into local parks and ballfields, while runners and cyclists enjoy quiet loops shaded by mature oaks.
Everyday life here feels convenient and connected. Groceries, cafés, and services cluster along Granby Street and nearby retail corridors, and cultural hotspots downtown are easy to reach without sacrificing that calm, residential feel at home. Considering a move? Whether you’re buying your first place or selling to upsize, Agent Pronto can match you with a top local agent who knows Lakewood inside and out.
