Hunter's Square
Neighborhood in Norfolk, Virginia

Condos and duplexes on shaded, walkable streets
Home prices hover between the mid $200,000s and low $300,000s. Condos are a popular option, given the walkable and somewhat urban quality of the neighborhood. But there are also duplexes, Modern Traditional homes and Craftsman cottages that line shaded streets. Front yards tend to be more decorative than functional, with a couple of small bushes standing in for landscaping. But the prevalence of sidewalks ensures that everything is kept neat and tidy for the frequent passersby.

Tide Light Rail to downtown Norfolk
Downtown Norfolk can be easily reached thanks to the Tide Light Rail, but a bus can also be grabbed along Monticello Avenue, or Route 460, both of which dip into downtown. Route 58 runs east-west through the neighborhood and is another way to reach downtown or Norfolk State University.Restaurants line West 21st Street
High Cup Coffee House on Monticello is a hip gathering spot, full of sleek surfaces and neon signs. The funky, industrial décor is complimented by a menu of comforting foods like breakfast sandwiches and fruit slushies. The 80/20 Burger Bar is a bit more upscale and sophisticated with dark wood and dim lighting. Friends chat and watch the latest sports game from the bar, while enjoying creative burgers topped with everything from peanut butter to pepper jack cheese. The restaurant crawl continues down West 21st Street, with Japanese, Mexican and American cuisine making an appearance. The Fresh Market and Food Lion make for convenient grocery stops just a mile from home.

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.
