Norfolk Highlands, located between the Southern Branch Elizabeth River and Campostella Road, is a waterfront and residential Chesapeake neighborhood with a grid of early-20th-century streets and a working-river backdrop. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Campostella Road corridor near the bridge, where corner markets, auto shops, and river views set a practical, lived-in tone. Modest bungalows and ranch homes sit on leafy lots, with frequent glimpses of docks and industrial edges across the water. The Southern Branch waterfront shapes daily rhythms, from passing tugboats to marshy shorelines. Nearby, Chesapeake City Park adds open fields and trails to the landscape. Downtown Norfolk’s arts venues and Harbor Park sit across the river for bigger-night-out plans.
