Communities
Downtown Norfolk is a vibrant, urban harbour region, popular with artists and the bohemian set. Because of Norfolk’s geographic region, the city is graced with many waterfront communities. For example, Willowby Spit, is bordered by water on three sides, has beautiful beaches for residents to enjoy. Another great, artistic community is the Ghent region of the city and many other sections of the city are under currently undergoing redevelopment, like Ocean View and East Beach, both of which over look the Chesapeake Bay. One of the most popular communities in the Norfolk region is the Hampton Roads, which is considered one of the trendiest neighbourhoods. It is known for its lively nightlife, especially for its club and bar scene. It is also the site of the Well’s Theater, the Generic Theater and the Little Beach Theater, all of which offer a bit of Broadway in Virginia.
