Washington
Washington delivers an easygoing, river‑city rhythm in the heart of Chesapeake. Minutes from the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River and the South Norfolk Jordan Bridge, residents enjoy quick cross‑water commutes to Portsmouth and employment centers in Norfolk. Weekends often land at Elizabeth River Park, where boat ramps, a fishing pier, playgrounds, and wide lawns frame breezy views of passing ships. The neighborhood’s gridded streets make casual walks feel neighborly, and daily errands are simple with local conveniences nearby and the revitalizing main streets of South Norfolk just around the corner.
Families appreciate access to Chesapeake Public Schools, with neighborhood‑serving options such as Rena B. Wright Primary, Oscar Smith Middle, and the acclaimed Oscar Smith High School, home to advanced academics and celebrated arts and athletics. The South Norfolk Memorial Library supports year‑round story times, workforce help, and community gatherings, while city parks host seasonal festivals and outdoor movies. Dining ranges from classic diners to waterfront bites, and larger retail corridors and entertainment are a short drive away without sacrificing Washington’s grounded, residential feel.
With river breezes, park access, and strong schools, Washington offers a practical, welcoming base for first‑time buyers, move‑up households, and downsizers alike.
