About Sewells
Gardens
Sewells Gardens, located between Hampton Boulevard and Granby Street, is a residential and academic-adjacent Norfolk neighborhood with leafy streets and mid-century brick homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Hampton Boulevard corridor by Old Dominion University, where coffee counters, casual eateries, and campus foot traffic set a steady weekday rhythm. The Naro Expanded Cinema and the Harrison Opera House serve as cultural pillars for nights out beyond the campus edge. Architectural cues lean toward tidy ranches and traditional single-family houses with deep setbacks and mature trees. The Elizabeth River shoreline nearby shapes the geography with breezy views and a maritime feel. Sidewalks and pocket greens keep the pace calm while still tied to Norfolk’s arts-and-university orbit.
