Located at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and the historical starting point for many railroads, Norfolk, Virginia has long been the crossroads of the eastern seaboard and the United States. Today, it’s home to Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval base in the world and offers its residents excellent schools and numerous summer festivals. Norfolk is also the cultural center of the area with plenty of theatre companies, museums, and classical music ensembles.
Living in an area with such a rich history will cost you, though. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment is $1,214, up 22% from 2021. The median home cost is $290K, up 5.5% from 2021. In moving to Norfolk, you may need to downsize to a home with less storage space.
That’s why you should keep self-storage in your plans for any Norfolk move. With facilities all over the city, it’s easy to find one that’s convenient and close to home. And you’ll be surprised at how affordable it can be, even if you need a larger unit to store a boat or other toys for exploring the Chesapeake Bay. If you’re dreaming of a more maritime life in Norfolk, don’t let something as small as storage hold you back.
