Waterside community long popular with the military
Set along the picturesque banks of the Elizabeth River, the charming Norfolk, Virginia, neighborhood of Ingleside offers residents a combination of history, waterside location and convenient access to downtown attractions. "Lots of military people move to the Norfolk area to be close to the naval bases," says Sara Vaughn, a Realtor with Exit Realty. "Ingleside, in particular, is a popular place because you're also close to the water and shopping." Ingleside found itself thrust into the spotlight during the 1950s when the demand for post-World War II military housing soared, and Norfolk experienced a period of rapid growth and development. To accommodate the rising population, Ingleside was annexed and became an integral part of the city.
