Nature and convenience in Camellia Shores
Tucked away — but still right in the heart of — Norfolk, Camellia Shores is a slice of suburbia that just so happens to be right next to the action. With an attractive mixture of beautiful outdoor scenery just blocks away from downtown amenities, the neighborhood can appeal to those looking for privacy and conveniences. “It’s very tranquil and serene,” says Vanda Kennedy, real estate agent with World Class Realty and longtime resident of Norfolk. “It gets overused a lot, but it really is a hidden gem right in the middle of the city.”
Classic 1950s homes
Most of the homes in Camellia Shores were built in the 1950s. Alongside these classic homes, newer construction blends in as you get closer to downtown, creating a unique neighborhood vibe. Homes in the neighborhood are primarily made up of single-family ranch styles and colonial revivals. Prices range from $300,000 to $500,000 for homes with two to three bedrooms, though homes on the lakefront can go for more. The tucked-away nature of the neighborhood means that homebuyers can expect enough room for modest front and back yards.
