{A Shore House in East Beach, Norfolk}

Here , life returns to a simpler time. Beautifully crafted homes reflect the timeless architectural character of older traditional Tidewater Virginia homes. Neighbors greet one another as they sit on their front porches, or watch the sunset at a concert at the Bay Front Club.

        East Beach is very well located: - just a 10 minute drive from Norfolk International Airport (ORF), and a 20 minute drive to downtown Norfolk, the major employment centers and military bases. The community is right on the Chesapeake Bay where the Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. In just ten minutes you can walk from the beach at the north end of the community to your boat at the deep water marinas at the south end of the community. 

       Look and let me know if isn´t a wonderful place in where to get older...
