Downtown Norfolk puts city living right on the water. Condos and apartments sit near Waterside District, Town Point Park, theaters, and the Harrison Opera House, with the Elizabeth River Trail and waterfront festivals steps away.

Set along the Lafayette and Elizabeth Rivers, these established neighborhoods feature mature trees, brick colonials, and waterfront properties. Close to Old Dominion University, they combine quiet residential streets with easy access to the rest of the city.

Wrapped by the Lafayette River, these adjoining neighborhoods are known for Craftsman bungalows, American Foursquares, and front porches made for evening conversations. Many streets end at the water, and the Virginia Zoo and Lafayette Park are nearby.

Miles of Chesapeake Bay beaches give Ocean View a relaxed coastal lifestyle. The area offers a wide mix of beach cottages, bayfront condos, and newer homes, often at a range of price points.

This planned bayfront community pairs Southern coastal architecture with walkable streets, parks, and beach access. Homes include newer single-family residences, townhomes, and cottages built with classic porches and details.
