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.
Ingleside sits just off the Elizabeth River, offering scenic views and waterfront access.

There seem to be more events during tourist season for adults, but when it comes to children there seems to be more to do in other areas.

There are lots of community parks and a few outdoor activities available, but more needs to be done to make parents actually feel safe and secure about taking their children to be a part of them.
