Colley Avenue and 21st: Off Base Area of Town


Gold medal 28 reviews

"Housing"

Somethings were good about this area, we liked the food and beaches but that’s about it. Least friendly town we have lived in and just no curb appeal. The locals were rude and just not helpful at all. We would probably not move to Virginia again and have no plans to even hunk about.

"Walkable Neighborhood"

It is a very much 'downtown' feel. If you live in Ghent, you can walk to these restaurants and shops. If you live in Colonial Place, you can drive there in minutes. If you live in Larchmont, it will take about 10 minutes. I recommend this area if you are stationed out of NAS Norfolk, or if you just like to the metropolitan feel.

"Live near shops and restaurants"

I'd live near this area. Walk anywhere! Great neighborhoods near this area are Ghent, Colonial Place, Larchmont. Condos/Apartments off 21st Street are very nice.
