Best restaurants in Norfolk?

First post here. Homes are going for about $199,100 on average. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. What are your go-to spots? Cheers.

I've been living here for 5 years and I'd say it exceeded my expectations. The food scene is surprisingly good compared to other places I've lived. Overall Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.

I'm a software engineer who relocated here from Baltimore about 10 years ago. The main reasons were retirement and quality of life.

Pros I've experienced:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Lots of new development happening
- Affordable housing options

Cons that are real:
- Not very walkable outside downtown
- Homeless population growing downtown

Financially, we've found it hit or miss compared to where we came from. The market is competitive but not impossible. Groceries are stable, gas is pretty good.

Socially, it's exactly what I was looking for. Hope this helps!.

Came here for a fresh start and stayed because it's improved dramatically in recent years. The dating scene is honestly tough and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
