When I was ORF based there was literally zero there. A few here and there of crashing on another awac guys couch but that's about it. Hotels aren't very cheap either especially in peak tourist season (April-September). Very few people commute to Norfolk since the trips were very non commutable even for senior guys. Most guys/gals lived in Virginia Beach; as did I or the surrounding area. Not a bad area to live, Miltary town, just stick closer to the water front, not exactly a Palm Beach crowd that goes there for vacation either...
