How safe is Norfolk?

Alexis

Norfolk has made progress in reducing violent crime, with a notable drop in homicides. However, property crime is still higher than average, so it’s smart to stay alert. Many neighborhoods are vibrant and welcoming—just take the usual precautions, especially at night or in unfamiliar areas.

About Me

Hi there, born and raised in South Africa, now living in the States. I’m currently on a wanderlust journey looking for something off-the-beaten-path. Here for the opportunity to share sightseeing; get to know people from all over the world; forge connections and build relationships that bridge geographic divides. Open to helping those around me and learn from anyone who can host me in their city :)
