Celebrated for its warm community spirit and a captivating blend of Colonial homes nestled in a stunning waterfront oasis.

Welcome to Larchmont / Edgewater

Larchmont, including its picturesque Edgewater section, is a historically rich and inviting neighborhood in Norfolk, VA, with roots tracing back to 1906. Originally farmland, this area was transformed when a group of Norfolk businessmen purchased approximately 200 acres in the northwest portion of Norfolk County for development. They began laying out streets, sidewalks, and landscaping, and by 1912, had built and sold 64 homes. Despite initial skepticism about the location's convenience, the development thrived with the introduction of the Larchmont Jitney bus line, which connected the neighborhood to downtown Norfolk.
 
Today, Larchmont and Edgewater are renowned for their charming mix of Colonial Revival, Victorian, and Craftsman bungalow styles, with some new construction blending seamlessly into the historic fabric. The neighborhoods are bordered by the Lafayette River to the east and north, the Elizabeth River to the west, and Old Dominion University to the south, providing a blend of scenic waterfront views and urban convenience.
 
With over 2,300 homes, the area is known for its tree-lined streets, well-preserved architecture, and vibrant community. Residents enjoy easy access to downtown Norfolk and the Norfolk Naval Operations Base, as well as proximity to Old Dominion University, which includes a small business district with a market, restaurants, and the Ted Constant Center for live music and entertainment. Larchmont and Edgewater offer a tranquil suburban atmosphere with a strong sense of community, making them highly desirable places to live.
