Chesterfield Heights blends early-20th-century architecture with river views along the Eastern Branch of the Elizabeth River, just a few minutes from downtown Norfolk. Tree-lined blocks showcase Craftsman bungalows and American Foursquares, many with welcoming front porches. The neighborhood sits beside Berkley and Grandy Village, with quick connections to Chesapeake via the Campostella Bridge, making commuting and weekend outings remarkably convenient.
Recent investments in flood resilience have added everyday benefits. The Ohio Creek initiative introduced new green infrastructure, wetlands, and trails that double as storm protection and open space, supported by partners like the Elizabeth River Project. Residents enjoy quiet waterfront moments, easy kayaking, and a growing network of pedestrian-friendly paths that enhance the neighborhood’s livability.
Families are served by Norfolk Public Schools, with elementary students attending Chesterfield Academy and older students drawn by the storied legacy of Booker T. Washington High School’s academics, arts, and athletics. Explore programs, calendars, and resources directly through Norfolk Public Schools. Game day is close to home, too—catch the Norfolk Tides at Harbor Park on the riverfront, and rely on Hampton Roads Transit for light rail and bus connections across the city, from the waterfront to major medical and university hubs.
