Avalon real estate FAQ
Where is the Avalon neighborhood in Chesapeake, VA?+
Avalon is located in the South Norfolk section of Chesapeake, in the 23324 ZIP code, centered around Avalon Avenue near Bainbridge Boulevard. It sits in the older, northern part of the city close to the Elizabeth River and the Norfolk city line. The area is part of the broader South Norfolk community, which traces its origins to a streetcar suburb that developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and became its own town in 1919 before joining the City of Chesapeake in 1963.
What kinds of homes are in Avalon?+
Avalon is an established neighborhood made up mostly of single-family detached homes, with some smaller multifamily and apartment buildings mixed in. Many residences date from the early-to-mid 20th century and reflect period styles common to South Norfolk, including bungalows, cottages, and modest ranch and Cape Cod designs. Lots are typically traditional suburban parcels with front and rear yards on a connected street grid.
What schools serve Avalon in Chesapeake?+

Smith High School. As of recent GreatSchools data, Oscar F. Smith High School holds a 3/10 rating.
