Anonymous wrote:In Norfolk, East Beach, East Ocean View and parts of West Ocean View & Willoughby Spit are also great. Both are close to the bay beach; East Beach does not flood, but do some research on Ocean View / Willoughby Spit communities, as parts of that area do flood (i.e., tidal flooding or storm related). The beach community here is great, and there are a growing number of coffee shops & restaurants nearby. In the summer, there are weekly outdoor beach concerts. I've had nothing but good experiences with the elementary school (Ocean View elementary), and echo the comments on selecting a middle school / HS program that is a fit with the child's interests. I also sent my children to preschool at Willoughby, a public preK, and was very impressed -- it was like having my children attend a private pre-K; a wonderful experience for them.
PP here. If you are a beach person, here's a preview of homes in the areas I mentioned.
