Ocean View captures the laid-back spirit of coastal living in Norfolk. Stretching along seven miles of pristine Chesapeake Bay shoreline, this neighborhood offers residents stunning vistas, beach access, and a lively sense of community. At its heart lies Ocean View Beach Park, a popular gathering spot for summer festivals, outdoor concerts, and breathtaking sunsets. Paddleboarders and surfers take full advantage of the water, while families delight in nearby Sarah Constant Beach Park and its picnic pavilions.
Adventure continues inland at the Ocean View Station Museum, which celebrates local heritage and maritime history. A distinctive mix of classic bungalows and new developments means there’s a home for every taste, and proximity to the vibrant amenities of Ghent and nearby Virginia Beach opens up even more entertainment, dining, and shopping options.
Parents are drawn to Ocean View for its convenient access to schools such as Bay View Elementary and Northside Middle School. The neighborhood’s pedestrian-friendly streets, local coffee houses, and community gardens create a welcoming atmosphere and encourage neighbors to connect. With excellent transit links, the vibrant Naval Station Norfolk nearby, and an array of locally owned eateries, Ocean View is truly a place where coastal leisure meets urban convenience.
