Downtown Norfolk is about ten minutes north; the Elizabeth River and Naval Station Norfolk define much of the city's identity. Getting around is straightforward—Tidewater Drive connects easily to Military Highway and I-264. Anyone comparing homes for sale in Norfolk will notice Lafayette Shores offers affordability without sacrificing neighborhood character. The area draws people who value established streets over new construction, and who want to be close to bases and city amenities. Public transit and major employers are within reach.
