Belvedere Homes for Rent

Belvedere, a small neighborhood in Norfolk, is situated at the north end of the Granby Street Bridge, bordered by the Lafayette River and Wayne Creek. This primarily residential area features mid-century Cape Cods, ranch-style homes, split-levels, and Colonial Revival-style houses. Many homes have open yards with riverfront views, and some waterfront properties include private docks or boat ramps. The neighborhood's proximity to local schools, universities, military bases, and beaches is a significant draw for residents. While the local schools have mixed ratings, Granby High School offers the district's only International Baccalaureate program. Old Dominion University is conveniently located just 3 miles away. Granby Street Park, with its tall Virginia pines and shaded benches, is the largest park in Belvedere, while the nearby playground at Trinity Lutheran is popular among children. The Midtown Shopping Center, 2 miles up Granby Street, provides shopping and dining options, including Harris Teeter and the Book Exchange. MJ’s Tavern is a favored spot for nightlife and karaoke. The neighborhood is well-connected with multiple bus stops along Granby Street and access to Norfolk’s light rail downtown. Residents enjoy local attractions like the Virginia Zoo and the annual Harborfest in downtown Norfolk. The Eastern Virginia Medical Center, 4 miles away, includes the Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters and Eastern Virginia Medical School. However, waterfront residents must be cautious of flooding, and traffic can be heavy due to the city's bustling nature and significant military presence.
