Waterside community long popular with the military

Set along the picturesque banks of the Elizabeth River, the charming Norfolk, Virginia, neighborhood of Ingleside offers residents a combination of history, waterside location and convenient access to downtown attractions. "Lots of military people move to the Norfolk area to be close to the naval bases," says Sara Vaughn, a Realtor with Exit Realty. "Ingleside, in particular, is a popular place because you're also close to the water and shopping." Ingleside found itself thrust into the spotlight during the 1950s when the demand for post-World War II military housing soared, and Norfolk experienced a period of rapid growth and development. To accommodate the rising population, Ingleside was annexed and became an integral part of the city.

Charming 1950s cottages and modern waterside beauties

Homes in Ingleside range from charming mid-century Norfolk-style cottages and brick ranch styles built during the post-war population boom to sprawling waterside residences with backyard piers and boat docking. Ingleside homes are situated on long, narrow blocks lined with sidewalks and adorned with leafy trees. Home sizes range from 1,000 to 3,500 square feet with two to five bedrooms, and list prices range from $215,000 to $440,000.

Neighborhood park and recreation center

Ingleside Park and Recreation Center sit adjacent to Ingleside Elementary School. With a playground and baseball field, the park offers ample opportunities for outdoor fun, while the recreation center hosts various programs that allow neighbors to get acquainted, including a walking club, line dancing classes, and adult basketball and volleyball leagues.

Civic League events and sustainability efforts

The Ingleside Civic League is a cornerstone of the community, dedicated to improving the quality of life for residents. Through regular meetings and events, they actively work towards the revitalization of the neighborhood. One of the highlights of the year is the annual IngleFest, a block-party-style celebration of Ingleside's diversity with live entertainment, food, games, raffles and more. Ingleside is also a community that actively addresses the challenges its waterside location poses. Wetlands Watch and the Elizabeth River Project have joined forces to find innovative solutions to combat the threats of rising sea levels and flooding and engage the community through litter clean-up events and educational lectures, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the neighborhood.

Easy commuting by car or light rail

The northern area of Ingleside is home to an industrial district, while the southern part is connected to the rest of Norfolk via major thoroughfares, like East Virginia Beach Boulevard and Interstate 264. The Ingleside Road Station, a stop on the city's light rail network called The Tide, offers commuters access to another mode of transport around town. With Norfolk State University less than 2 miles away, academics can enjoy a short journey to campus, and downtown Norfolk, with its vibrant waterside district and a plethora of shopping and dining options, is also a mere 4-mile hop, skip and jump away.

Convenient to restaurants and retail

When it comes to shopping and dining, Ingleside residents have a range of options within reach. The Neighborhood Walmart on East Princess Anne Road ensures access to groceries, while a short 3-mile drive to North Military Highway leads to well-known retailers like Lowe's, Ross, T.J. Maxx, and Dollar Tree. Food cravings can be satisfied at local spots such as Los Primos Rostizeria y Tortilleria, where diners can indulge in authentic Mexican tacos and gorditas, and for those in the mood for a classic American breakfast or a juicy hot dog, Tubby's Hot Dogs is the place to be. Speaking of where to be, Be a J Juice Bar, a family-owned juicery known for its detox drinks and refreshing smoothies, is the perfect kickstart to a busy day.

It can be quiet, but there's also a lot of gun shots, drug use, car theft, rape, even the occasional homicide. Lots of trash comes out around the apartments, as well as children and teens unsupervised and causing problems. Saw several young kids running around with BB guns that look like the real deal, so the quality of some of the people here leaves a lot to be desired. Lots of lower class people that cause problems for the rest of the quiet neighborhood.
