Cavalier Manor welcomes new residents
From trips to the community pool, nights at the casino and leisurely games of golf, living in Cavalier Manor, an established suburb of the port city of Portsmouth, offers residents several ways to relax and connect with neighbors. “Cavalier Manor was primarily an African American area up until about seven or eight years ago,” says Ray Smith, a long-time local and President of the Civic League. “Now people from different backgrounds are moving to the neighborhood. My neighbors just moved here from Honduras.” Residents might work at the fulfillment centers and warehouses south of the neighborhood while their kids attend Lakeview Elementary or William E. Waters Middle School, both of which sit within walking distance of some Cavalier Manor homes. The nearby Cavalier Manor Recreation Center, pool and tennis courts give locals a space to hang out or get active with their neighbors. Those who live in homes along Lake Cavalier have private access to the water when they want to fish for largemouth bass or spotted bass.

Using Hampton Transit or I-264
When Cavalier Manor residents want to get away and take a trip, they can be in Chesapeake after a 15-minute drive or Norfolk after a 20-minute drive. Virginia Beach is also a popular vacation destination, and locals can rest on the sandy shores there in less than an hour. Those who need to catch a flight at Norfolk International Airport might drive for 30 minutes down Interstate 264 to get there.

Hanging out at Cavalier Manor Recreation Center
The recently opened Rivers Casino on Victory Boulevard serves as a hub of nightlife, where locals can try their luck at the slot machines and enjoy a cocktail. A few blocks down the road, golf enthusiasts spend the day shooting for a hole-in-one at Bide-A-Wee Golf Course. The Cavalier Manor Recreation Center, which lives in the heart of the neighborhood, provides many activities for the community. In the summertime, residents cool off in the community pool. Additionally, the center features an indoor gym, a playscape for children, and basketball and tennis courts, making it an ideal gathering spot. The United Civic League of Cavalier Manor supports residents' well-being by organizing community events. Monthly meetings and food drives are just some initiatives that bring neighbors together.

Meeting up with friends at River Casino
Several shopping centers are nearby, including the Victory Crossing Shopping Center, which features a Farm Fresh grocery store, Rainbow clothing store and Dollar Tree. Locals might prefer the Food Lion on Airline Boulevard for their grocery needs. For a quick, no-frills lunch, residents pop over to Razorback to order a breakfast sandwich, a classic burger or a fresh sub. Visitors to the Rivers Casino keep the party going by having dinner at Admiral’s Steak & Seafood, just next door. Friends catch up with a bite to eat and drinks at Cully’s Grille on Airline Boulevard.

Locals refresh their ranch homes
Most Cavalier Manor residents own ranch homes along Lake Cavalier or condos near Interstate 264. “Most people rehab their homes. Some tore everything down to the studs and built bigger homes,” Smith says. “People choose to move here because it’s quiet, the lawns are manicured and the recreation facilities are nearby.” Homes often feature moderate yards, attached garages and four bedrooms and range from $130,000 to $400,000. Those who don't need so much space settle into condos with over 900 square feet for $95,000 to $135,000. Skinny paved sidewalks run in front of the homes, giving dog walkers and runners a path to use when getting outside. Locals might also walk down the sidewalk to a Hamptons Road Transit bus stop along Roosevelt Boulevard, Horne Avenue or Greenwood Drive. The neighborhood also sits north of fulfillment centers and warehouses, where residents might work to stay close to home.

Bike rides, Umoja celebrations and football leagues
Festival Park, which sits near Elizabeth River in central Portsmouth, gets busy with the Umoja Festival every May. Umoja is a Kiswahili word meaning “unity” and perfectly captures the spirit of the festival celebrations. The Umoja Festival has been a local tradition for over 30 years, and visitors come to browse hand-made items for sale, try new foods and dance around to live music. Smith says the community also gets together for bike ride events, and football teams from Washington D.C. and Raleigh, North Carolina travel to Cavalier Manor to compete with the local athletes in the competitive league.
