Urban residential neighborhood in the heart of Norfolk

Norview Heights sits on the banks of Wayne Creek in the heart of Norfolk. Three major roads, Norview Avenue, Chesapeake Boulevard and Sewells Point Road, converge to form the northeast corner of the neighborhood. Its proximity to these three main drags gives Norview Heights residents easy access to the greater Norfolk area.

Mix of older and newer working-class homes

Established trees provide a natural screen between the busy corner and the residential side streets fanning from it. Wide streets with sidewalks are lined with evenly spaced minimal-traditional style homes. The small, square homes feature low-pitched roofs and front stoops, often covered with a projecting gable or aluminum awning. Many of the older homes in Norview Heights have been updated over the years with “pop-up” or “nose” additions, giving the originally modest floorplans some extra square footage with a new second story or expanded front living space. Instead of bothering to add onto their existing home, some residents have simply demolished the old structures and rebuilt their homes from scratch. You’ll see these larger new constructions scattered throughout the neighborhood. Though bigger than the original Norview Heights homes, the new builds maintain the aesthetic of the community with their gable roofs and neutral, yet beachy color palettes. Homes here tend to stay on the market for about three weeks and typically sell for between $150,000 to $300,000.

Close to I-64, Norfolk International Airport and bus stops

Norview Heights is mostly car-dependent with Interstate-64 close to the neighborhood homes. Downtown Norfolk is five miles south and takes about 30 minutes by car. The community also has several public bus stops along Chesapeake Boulevard and Sewells Point Road. Norfolk International Airport, the largest in Hampton Roads, is located two miles east. Because of Norview’s proximity to the interstate and the airport, there may be some additional ambient noise.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
