Naval Station Norfolk is the world’s largest navy base, so it’s no surprise that the adjacent community is heavily influenced by military culture. Close proximity to the base’s many workplaces as well as amenities like the NEX and commissary make this area highly popular among armed service personnel seeking off-base housing, as well as civilian military employees. Captain Slade Cutter Athletic Park and Sewell’s Point Golf Course are close at hand, providing terrific facilities for folks who enjoy an active lifestyle.
Old Dominion University is just a few minutes down Hampton Boulevard, providing quick access for students, faculty, and staff members. Downtown Norfolk, Newport News, and Virginia Beach are all just a few minutes away by car, allowing you to easily reach any of the region’s most popular attractions anytime.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
