North Camellia Acres Home for Rent

North Camellia Acres in Norfolk is a suburb known for its creek-side homes with direct access to the Little Creek Reservoir, locally referred to as "pretty lake." This established neighborhood, with homes dating back to the mid-1950s and 60s, retains much of its original character. The area features ranch-style and split-level homes on above-average lot sizes, some with waterfront access and personal boat docks. While there are no sidewalks, the homes have long driveways and large yards suitable for gardening or pools. Residents enjoy boating and fishing on the Little Creek Reservoir, which is home to largemouth bass and catfish. Nearby, Ocean View’s East Beach offers swimming, kayaking, and jet skiing just two miles away. The Norfolk Botanical Garden, a mile south, provides seven miles of trails through seasonal floral displays. For indoor activities, AMF Norfolk Lanes and the Norfolk Public Library: Little Creek Branch are close by. Essential shopping is convenient with Food Lion, Save a Lot, and Walmart Neighborhood Market nearby, along with local favorites like Captain Groovy's Grill & Raw Bar, Degollado, and Regino’s. The neighborhood is served by Norfolk Public Schools, which have average ratings. Transportation is facilitated by East Little Creek's bus stops, and Norfolk International Airport is just 1.5 miles south. However, the area faces a major flood risk from hurricanes and tropical storms, and its proximity to the airport results in some ambient noise from jets.
