Right in the action of a historic downtown area
With eye-catching waterfront views and creative architecture like The Rotunda condo complex, living in Downtown Norfolk is for those who prefer sensory delights. There’s a bit of historic charm, too, with older brick buildings being converted into condos. Locals zip about on scooters, or simply walk to daily essentials. Kaleo Kina, a Realtor with CoVA Collective Realty, affirms that entertainment and convenience is a big draw. “This area is a lot of fun. You can live in a high rise and walk to bars, restaurants, you name it. It can also be convenient if you work in the city.”

Museums, Zoos and marine attractions
Many cultural destinations have a maritime element as well, like Nauticus, where visitors can learn the science of life at sea and get a glimpse of the Battleship Wisconsin. Other attractions include the Virginia Zoo, which opened in 1900 and doubled the number of its animals in 2011 with a “Trail of the Tiger” exhibit featuring species from Asia. The Chrysler Museum of Art spans over 5,000 years of cultural production and is widely considered one of the most essential museums in the southeastern United States.
The giraffes at Virginia Zoo, a short drive from Downtown Norfolk, are one of the biggest draws.

This walkable strip features restaurants like Hell’s Kitchen, a bar and grill which focuses on modern American cuisine in a hip warehouse setting.
