Norfolk Highlands places you close to everything that matters in Chesapeake, with quick hops to Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach via I‑64 and I‑464. Bordering South Norfolk and the Indian River area, the neighborhood blends mature tree canopies, classic mid‑century homes, and an easy suburban pace that still feels connected to regional job centers, shipyards, and campuses.
Outdoorsy weekends are effortless. Mountain bikers and nature lovers head for the twisty trails and shaded paths at Indian River Park, maintained by the city’s parks department. Waterfront sunsets, boat launches, and a playground await at Elizabeth River Park, a local favorite for picnics and fishing. On rainy days, the Indian River Library offers maker programs, storytimes, and community events that make it more than a place to borrow books.
Families appreciate the school pipeline—Norfolk Highlands Primary, Sparrow Road Intermediate, Indian River Middle, and Indian River High—under the umbrella of Chesapeake Public Schools, known for strong academics and active extracurriculars. Commuters value options too: Hampton Roads Transit serves nearby corridors, and the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge provides a fast link over the Elizabeth River to downtown Portsmouth.
You’ll find tidy ranches, Cape Cods, and bungalows—many with deep backyards—plus everyday conveniences along Military Highway and Indian River Road. Whether you’re buying your first home here or preparing to sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a trusted local real estate pro to guide every step.
