I moved here last summer and LOVE it. Our youngest graduated from a better school district in Chesapeake, so we decided to mover to Ocean View. You really downplayed all the cool restaurants and breweries here: The World of Good, Jessy's Taqueria, Bold Mariner Brewery, Cova Brewery....

Quite a contrast from the 90s when I got stuck (stationed) here. It's a night and day difference from 30 years ago, but there still isn't anything there to do. All residential and still pockets of crime in different areas.

I was there this weekend. Discovered this town by accident while looking for rte 64. Love that it's really close to VA Beach yet has it's own beach. I LOVED the beach town feel and cottage like homes. I was definitely worried about it being a flood zone/flood insurance
@samsansalone2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I hear you. The flood zone situation is one of the more concerning things people find that cause them to live elsewhere. Glad you like it, though! Cool that you stumbled on Ocean View.

I used to live right across little creek rd from Ocean View behind the Food Lion almost 20 years ago. At that time they were just starting to try to improve the area. There were only a couple beach houses/condo's starting to be built. At that time the whole Ocean View area was a ghetto....a really bad place especially at night. Thinking about making a trip down there in the next few months. I'm interested in seeing how different it is.

I lived there for a few years . It was affordable then, and had a worse rep than it deserved. I walked to the beach and went jogging . Loved it. The Amusement Park was part of my childhood. The Rollercoaster was awesome! If I could move back to Norfolk again, I’d try to live there. Since I lived there in the 80’s, most of those new expensive houses have been built.

Great job Sam. My dad returned from Nam in '72 & we got stationed @ Langley AFB there in Hampton. I graduated '74 from Bethel H.S. & lived in Tide Mill off Armistead Ave. It was a short walk to the Hampton Coliseum where I saw Allman Bros when Duane was alive for $6.50 also front row for Dark Side of the Moon by you know who~! I worked at Busch Gardens Williamsburg the first 2 years they opened including the Bicentennial year before I took off surfing to Cape Hatteras then got offered a job. OBX living year round 7 years beats the 3 years I lived in Hawaii. My parents are from Petersburg, Va & I was living there while dad served in Nam. Before I took off the Las Vegas, San Antonio, Tx, Jacksonville, Fla, St Louis, Ill, back to Texas then to Shreveport, La, I had the chance & honor to take part in the Historical Restoration of Sherwood Forest Plantation belonging to ex-President John Tyler on historical route 5. Historical Restorations became my career alongside being a international chef on the Riverwalk of San Antonio & my dream job of being a radio & also a dancing/nightclub/strip club DJ. Which brings me to really enjoying your channel here now that I'm back in Richmond/Henrico County. I am going to watch a few more of your videos & relax. Be kind & stay safe~!

I moved to E. Ocean View from CT, signed a lease site unseen. I loved it. Was a cute 1 bedroom apartment right on the beach. Perfect for me and my husband at the time. We got married at the beach down the road and I fell in love with the neighborhood. This was 14 years ago but I’ve been wanting to go back and show my son the first house he came home to. I just googled my old apartment and it’s still there, we only paid $650mo for a beachfront place. I wonder what the rent is now.

Williamsburg and Yorktown is not better than Norfolk or the seven cities area I don't know why y'all are up here spreading this information there's nothing to do in Williamsburg New York town but I can see it's clearly that you're a white person who has an affinity for the woods so maybe those are a better area for you but for most people that wouldn't be a good area for them so stop posting stuff about it did you see what ocean view look like before Judy Boone started to renovate apparently you didn't or you wouldn't have said what you said I'm actually from Norfolk Virginia born and raised
