    Living in location

    Norfolk is a historic, coastal city located in southern Virginia along the Elizabeth River. It was originally incorporated in the early 18th century and has long been an important port city and naval center. Today, it's home to the Naval Station Norfolk - which is one of the largest naval bases in the world - as well as a NATO Strategic Command Headquarters. As such, many military professionals rent in the Norfolk area. Additionally, the area is home to Old Dominion University and Norfolk State University, which attract many student renters to the area, as well. Here, the downtown Norfolk area has a variety of attractions for renters to enjoy. To that end, the Chrysler Museum of Art is known for its large glass studio, while the Nauticus Maritime Museum contains a historic battleship, aquarium and science exhibits. The Virginia Zoo is also located in Norfolk. Additionally, the Ghent neighborhood is a trendy place for restaurants and nightlife and, given the city's location near the Atlantic Ocean, there's no shortage of great seafood for local renters to try. Or, if you're looking to get outdoors, the beach is also just a short drive from downtown.

    For those with a love for the arts, Norfolk's theater scene is robust, featuring performances at venues like the iconic Wells Theatre.
