Convenience is king in Cottage Row Park/Denby Park. This triangular slice of urban, residential living is framed by Interstate 64 and two bustling thoroughfares — Little Creek Road and Tidewater Drive. Complete with shops and restaurants within walking distance, you’ve got everything you need close to home in Cottage Row Park/Denby Park.

“This area is really appealing for affordability,” says Ryan Fleming, Realtor with COVA Home Realty. “It’s a popular neighborhood for first-time homebuyers. There are also a lot of military families in the area because it’s close to the Navy base. It’s a well-rounded area with shopping and dining, and some interesting stuff to offer like the beach at Ocean View Beach Park, a little further north.”

Cruise along the tree-lined streets of the neighborhood, and you’ll see a variety of architectural styles that include cottages, Cape Cods and transitional-style homes. These houses are perched next to each other on modest, tidy lots with simple landscaping. Nearly all the homes in the neighborhood have driveways that fit multiple cars, and many front lawns are shaded by mature oaks, maples and pines. In Cottage Row Park/Denby Park, a two-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage ranges from $200,000 to $300,000, while a four-bedroom, three-bedroom transitional-style home runs closer to $400,000. The neighborhood is also home to several apartment complexes like the Spring Creek Apartments, where rent for a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment averages $1,000 per month.

Students in the area attend Suburban Park Elementary School, Northside Middle School and Granby High School, which all belong to the Norfolk Public Schools district. Granby High receives an overall grade of B from Niche, with high ratings in the teachers, college prep, diversity and sports categories. They also offer students the opportunity to enroll in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, which allows them to take advanced courses and earn college credit while still in high school.

Bring the kids to Kaboom Playground on San Antonio Boulevard for some outdoor fun. This small, fenced-in neighborhood park has colorful climbing structures and slides. With several acres of well-maintained open green space surrounding the park, there is also plenty of room to run around, fly kites, or have a picnic.

Pick up groceries at Food Lion and all your household essentials at Walmart, both located right in the eastern part of the neighborhood, within walking distance. The area is also home to a hair salon, auto parts shop, fitness center and more.

When hunger strikes, head to KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot on Tidewater Drive. Enjoy tender Korean BBQ grilled right at your table, and don’t miss the spice bar to add all kinds of flavors. With their All You Can Eat options, you certainly won’t leave hungry! You can also check out Maya Restaurant around the corner, where you can enjoy large portions of Honduran cuisine in a laid-back atmosphere.

With proximity to Interstate 64 — the area’s main interstate, which runs east-west for 300 miles to West Virginia — it couldn’t be easier for Cottage Row Park/Denby Park residents to get around town and beyond.
