Camellia Garden is a small neighborhood positioned on the northeastern side of Norfolk, bordered by Little Creek. This mainly-residential community features a diverse selection of apartments, condos, and townhomes throughout, including many with nice views of the creek. The neighborhood is positioned very close to the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, allowing residents to easily get out on the water for a day of boating or fishing, or simply soak up the sun while lying on the beach.
Shore Drive serves as the main local route to the beach, and the roadway is lined with popular hangouts: savor some fresh oysters at Captain Groovy’s Grill & Raw Bar, or watch a game over wings and beer at The Dirty Buffalo. Living in Camellia Garden also puts you less than three miles north of Norfolk International Airport and the adjacent Norfolk Botanical Garden.
