Residents find acres of green space, tall trees and quick access to the Elizabeth River in Wayside Manor. “The area is unique because it's not a tourist part of town, it’s more residential,” says Gardner. “I’ve noticed people prefer the peace and quiet.” Residents have easy access to Interstate 264, which gets them to major employers like the Norfolk Naval Base, Sentara Leigh Hospital and the Naval Medical Center Portsmouth.
