Why Live in Norfolk?
In Norfolk, mornings breeze in with the turn of the tide and there’s a good chance that your commute to work and back will include brilliant waterfront views; and at day’s end, there’s nightlife to be savored—whether it’s a Triple A baseball game at Harbor Park, an evening at the Opera or a barefoot boogie by the shores of the Bay.
But perhaps Norfolk’s greatest strength and attraction is its neighborhoods. There are more than 120, each with a unique character of its own. Norfolk’s neighborhoods draw tourists who desire to get a glimpse of Norfolk’s everyday life; attract new residents who long to put down roots in established neighborhoods; entice military retirees to stay or return; and hold families here for generations.
