How long is the commute (average) from Hampton to Portsmounth Naval Hospital? Can it be done via bike commuting?

That AICUZ map is BS. I live on the outskirts of it and they fly directly above my house, I can read the writing on the bottom of the jets with my bare eyes.

Great for families until you get to deal with the cops. Which are worthless as ever. on over 20 occasions. They never do anything unless you call a lawyer.

Chesapeake is the best city!

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.

Why is he hating in suffilk

Avoid Norfolk at all costs. Seriously, its the worst.

lived in VA Beach for 28 years then moved to SD CA for the last 12 years. i can't wait to get back to VB. all of these are none issues

I am a proud son of of the 7 cities. I have lived in all of them but Hampton and Newport News. Chesapeake is where I was raised and now reside in Norfolk. I learned to surf on Damn Neck and fished the Lynnhaven pier my entire childhood. Yes the traffic is bad but you left out the reason why.. We are a VERY transient area with all the military that is here, which means multiple driving styles in a confined space. I do also need to point out 1 flaw. You stated the Chesapeake Bay Bridge tunnel is 20 miles long. that is incorrect it is actually 17.3 miles including the 2 tunnels.

I lived in Titusville Florida for several years, which is a apart of the The Melbourne/Cocoa Beach metro, it's the #3 tourist spot in the U.S. behind Orlando, which is only 35 miles away btw, and Gulf Shores Alabama, The tourist won't bother me at all. The jet noise won't bother me at all either, Titusville is home to Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center, jets aren't anything compared to have a rocket/shuttle launch where the air is literally shaking, I'm also Retired Army so the military presence is a plus for me.

I'm moving to Norfolk in December, 56 minutes a year in traffic isn't much, that breaks down to a little over an minute a week, Hampton Roads has a population of 1.8 million, compared to metro's of the same size like St. Louis where I'm from and currently living, has the average of 147 minutes per year or Memphis 96 minutes, or Albuquerque's 84 minutes..... 56 minutes isn't bad

What are prices ? Why don't restate agents tell you the prices? Home are pretty, but away to close. Please let me know. Have a good day.

Please keep the green space. I don't think they will. They will be another Virginia Beach. So sad. Please tell you or anymore what you think Have a good day. 😊

The police don't seem to be concerned about the speeding in Ghent commons and no one seems to care

There are none 😢

Are you from California?

Yeah, these are pretty much everything that I dislike about Virginia Beach. Not really affected by the cost of buying a house because I've never bought one. And if I did, it wouldn't be in Virginia Beach. The only other thing that I dislike about Virginia Beach is too many people

Gators by daughters school nice😂

My wife and I are looking into moving to VA beach in a year or 2 when she’s done school and looking at a community just north of Mt Trashmore and Lake Windsor, how would you rate that area?

Houses are away to close. Otherwise the houses look nice. What are property taxes a year? Let me know. Have a good day..

Have you ever even left the area? 72nd...out of 101, so not even in the top half? Come on. Tourism, then stay away from the oceanfront. There's plenty of beaches for locals. And the city is HUGE. Jet noise, give me a break. Unless you live in one of the areas that wasn't supposed to be residential, it's not an issue.

By the way everything is over price. Again that's my opinion. Anyone tell me what you. 😢

Virginia Beach natives rude and nasty. That's my opinion. Anyone tell me what you think. Have a good day. 😢

A tidbit I’d like to point out is prepare for open carry, a lotta out-of-staters have been completely put off by this.

Avoid Ghent commons zero traffic enforcement, speeding, and stop sign runners constantly and nothing is being done 😢

Moved an hour and a half away to Virginia Beach last year for a new job; Couldn't deal with it, the cons definitely outweighed the pros, for me. Not used to an urban environment, too many people, jet noise is obnoxious, too much year-round traffic, military transplants can't drive, and are miserably rude. Plus, the company I worked for ended up screwing me over hard. Very happily moved back to the lower Middle Peninsula. Personally, I'd say the only tolerable place in the Hampton Roads region is Gloucester County - anything further past that is awful.

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.

Traffic is an issue…but the oceanfront isn’t dangerous! It’s like any other beach town in the summer, it’s full of people. All the festivals wouldn’t be held year after year in VB oceanfront if it were not a safe friendly place.

It has become worse every single year. STAY AWAY! The noise is unbearable period! The funny thing is that the Military advised to move the base, as it is unsafe and outgrown itself and the City has moved to close to it for the safety of the citizens and the Pilots. Humidity is insane! and has to be one of the worst places you could live for traffic! Insane construction, traffic jams over and over. And the Ocean Front is going straight to hell. Check out what they do not tell you. Riots, Crime going crazy, gangs growing at the Tourist area and increasing all the time. STAY AWAY!

Used to live there & hated it crime is really bad!!!!

They call this town poop city for a reason 😮

The music is distracting

50th Anniversary of the Worrell 1000 catamaran RAce

Traffic is not that bad in the 757 something in the water is one event that not only affects Virginia but all seven cities. Traffic would be better if people would put their phone down and concentrate on the road. Also we haven’t a lot of construction going to so that is another factor.

You are so right about the HRBT!!

City transportation in Suffolk can get you all over Hampton roads. The statement wasn't accurate.

So far, your pros scream, "Why the hell would you want to live here?"

According to a recent report "One has to work a job making a minimum of $48/ hour just to be able to afford to live in VA Beach." For a family of 4, I believe that figure was in the neighborhood of $60/ hour. Which is not exactly what I would call "Cheap" by any means. Rather or not those figures are true, is a different story; however, considering the homes around the Linkhorn Area, something tells me "Those figures are actually on the low side" and that is putting it lightly.
