Olde Huntersville Multifamily Home for Sale

Olde Huntersville, a historic neighborhood in Norfolk, has seen significant revitalization in recent years. Known for its rich history, it was one of the few areas that allowed Black families to own homes during segregation, fostering a self-sustained community of business owners, educators, and politicians. The Olde Huntersville Development Corporation, established in 1980, has played a crucial role in the neighborhood's resurgence by promoting homeownership, creating gardens and parks, and establishing a Tidewater Community College satellite campus. The area features a mix of 19th-century homes, renovated traditional-style houses, and new craftsman constructions, with classic American four-square designs lining the streets. The Huntersville Community Center offers an indoor pool, sports courts, and a game room, while nearby Huntersville Park and Pollard Street Playground provide additional recreational spaces. The historic Attucks Theatre, built in 1919, continues to host jazz concerts and comedy shows. The Virginia Zoo, located just a mile north, is a popular attraction with over 700 animals. Local dining options include Sweet Jam Café, serving southern staples, and Turner’s Market, a family-owned store. For larger shopping needs, a Walmart and Harris Teeter are less than 3 miles away, with downtown Norfolk just 2 miles south. Despite its compact nature, the neighborhood is mostly car-dependent, with limited bus service. Interstate 264 provides convenient access to Portsmouth and Virginia Beach, and Norfolk International Airport is 5 miles north.
