Waterfront homes with close shopping and recreation
North Camellia Acres is a Norfolk suburb named after the city’s popular blooming shrub, the Camellia. Its creek-side homes offer direct access to the Little Creek Reservoir, also known as “pretty lake” by locals. Homes in this older, established neighborhood began being built in the mid-1950s and 60s, and the community’s character hasn’t changed much since then. "Some of the neighborhood’s original residents still live here, people tend to stick around for a long time," says Mick Shaw, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, who’s also been a lifelong resident of Norfolk.

There are no sidewalks in the community, but homes feature long driveways and expansive front and backyards ideal for gardening or pools.
