Oh, and the beach!! Many ppl may not know about Ocean View where there’s a beach on the Chesapeake Bay. It’s a nice well kept beach that tends to be less crowded and hectic than the VA Beach beaches.

Hey, DJ! 👋 Don’t forget the zoo In Norfolk. It’s much better than it used to be because the animals are out more in a natural environment than in locked cages. If I was in the navy I’d just find a place to live close to the base and that would help out a lot with traffic. I lived in West Ghent for a while - quiet little neighborhood. And Ghent to the East of West Ghent is a little like a quaint small town within a town. And if Norfolk doesn’t have something you want it’s a short drive to other Hampton Roads cities.

I live in Norfolk and work in Newport News. Driving through that Hamton Roads Bridge Tunnel every day sucks. But it's mostly predictable, most mornings are alright, usually zero traffic and 30 minutes. After work gets dicy though, with Friday being consistently the worst. Even in October with less beach traffic than spring or summer, I can't think of a Friday where the drive home is less than an hour, usually an hour and a half, with 2 hours or more not unheard of. Overall really enjoy living here though, nice video, sums it up well Cheers

I live in Santa Cruz Ca. Getting priced out. I have family in Mechanicsville and when I visited them last summer we spent time in Hampton, particularly in the Buckroe Beach area. I have been looking at homes in Hampton Roads. I think I have narrowed it down to Hampton it Norfolk. I’m 68 years old and would love to bike or walk to the beach and live in a simple 3 bedroom home under $300k. Am I crazy?

Which city hss a faster pace Richmond Va or Norfork Richmond is not exactly like Dc but when i visited it reminded me of a little Dc especially downtown where there are tons of row houses to my suprise like Baltimore and Philly.

How is the area around gravity and icon to live at? how is the festiviites and crime around the waterpark area ?

Avoid Norfolk at all costs, unless you want own bullet proof jackets. Seriously, go to anyone who lives in Hampton roads and ask them, "Where is the nice part of Norfolk?" they will stare at you like you have lobsters crawling out of your ears.

So the base is high crime??
