About Norfolk City County, VA

I am helping some wonderful people purchase homes in Norfolk right now! What fun! They are so nice to work with and the homes they have chosen are so different yet both perfectly in tune with our area.

The first is a new construction home in the upscale subdivision called East Beach. This was the site of our building association's HOMEARAMA about 5 years ago. Now the subdivision is about 75% built including the playground, tennis courts, and open spaces... not to mention access to the beach! All homes are considered executive style homes and abide by strict architectural guidelines.

The second property is a 1910 bungalow with a 2 car garage. This home is in one of Norfolk's Historic neighborhoods called Lafayette Residence Park. Lafayette and Winona, along with Gowrie Park and Old Lafayette Shores share a very active civic league. This great neighborhood is filled with not only bungalows, but cape cods, Victorians, and arts and crafts style homes. The dog park, playground and water views are additional features of the neighborhood.

There are more homes like this for sale in our area! Don't be shy - get out there are find the home of your dreams!

Norfolk's Waterside could become a Farmers Market in the not to distant future. A local developer ,Divaris Real Estate, pitched such a deal to the city the other day. They would transform Waterside into a farmers market to include arts and crafts dealers along with a high end seafood restaurant. The city is taking its time and asking for proposals from citizens also. Look for answers in maybe six months.

Effective October 19, 2009, unsupervised minors are no longer permitted in the MacArthur Center Mall in Downtown Norfolk after 5pm.

Yes, ID's will be checked and extra security is on hand to enforce the new regulation. Teens found in the mall unsupervised after 5pm will be escorted to their "accompanying adult" or escorted out of the mall.

According to mall officials, the new rule is to help keep shoppers safe and kids out of trouble. In recent years, the number of minors "hanging out" in the mall has grown.

Some of the businesses are not happy about the new rule. Both Nordstrom and Dillards said they will continue to allow teenagers to shop in their stores after 5pm.
