The Neighborhood:
Tucked along Norfolk’s northern edge, the Ocean View neighborhood blends laid-back coastal charm with a strong sense of community and history. With nearly seven miles of Chesapeake Bay shoreline, Ocean View is where locals gather for beach bonfires, fishing off the pier, or evening walks as the sun sets over the bay. The neighborhood is known for its relaxed vibe—porch swings and crab boils, kids riding bikes to the water, and neighbors who still wave hello. Ocean View Avenue anchors the area, lined with unpretentious seafood joints, long-standing diners, and locally owned shops that have served generations. You’ll find live music on warm nights, community festivals, and a deep appreciation for life by the water. Whether you're paddle boarding at sunrise, grabbing a cold drink at a bayside bar, or just enjoying the view from your front steps, Ocean View offers more than just a beach—it offers a lifestyle rooted in simplicity, salt air, and a welcoming spirit you’ll feel right away.
