Norview
What it’s like to live in Norview
Mid-century character defines Norview, where Norfolk's northeastern neighborhood offers distinctive architecture at surprisingly accessible price points. Housing options include modest ranches and garden-style apartments with more generous space than downtown options at fraction of the cost. Though requiring slightly longer downtown commutes than central districts, the strategic positioning near both Naval Station Norfolk and airport facilities creates ideal convenience for military households seeking practical advantages beyond purely trendy addresses commanding premium pricing despite minimal practical advantages beyond zip code prestige increasingly affecting Norfolk's rapidly appreciating central neighborhoods.
