Estabrook sits between Downtown Norfolk, about 4 miles away, and Ocean View, about 6 miles away. “It’s centrally located,” says Michelle Harris, who has worked in Norfolk as a Realtor with Keller Williams Elite 757 for eight years. The Naval Station Norfolk is around 8 miles north of the neighborhood, attracting many active-duty members and veterans to the area. “It’s a military town,” Harris says. Besides coordinating social events and maintenance, Estabrook Civic League honors those who served with a display of flags flooding the streets every Veteran’s Day.
