“Ocean View is where Norfolk meets the Chesapeake Bay, and the price-per-foot near the sand is still gentler than most bayfront in the region. We always walk buyers through the flood zone and insurance picture street by street before writing anything — a couple of blocks can change the answer, and every listing on this site shows its exact FEMA zone for that reason.”
