    The weather in Virginia Beach is so indecisive, one day it’s a high of 40 the next it’s a high of 90. One time we were told we could get anywhere from 0” of snow to 19” of snow.

    I've lived here all my life. Traffic has exploded here in the last 15ish years. Between the military and the tourism, it's a nightmare. Also took my wife and I 6 months to find a house the last time we moved. Also, I avoid the oceanfront like the plague. I guess I do like it here bit that's probably because of how well I k ow the area. When I retire though, we are moving to the middle of nowhere lol.

    Love ❀ your video. I wish l could convince my hubby to buy a second home in Virginia Beach instead of Florida. We are in our mid 50s and will be retiring in 4-5 years. My family is from Virginia and l grew up going to the Ocean Front when there was nothing there 😂. I use to take my kids for two weeks every year. I still go once a year. I enjoy the evolution, the touristy hustle and bustle of the boardwalk . I have seen condos within walking distance to the Oceanfront ( which would be a requirement for me) . I am not interested in the other beaches which are nice , quiet and more for locals. You can still get deals below 5th Street for the mid $300s. We don’t need amenities or a lot of bells and whistles or exorbitant condo fees for a part-time home. I know Virginia Beach has changed its rules on short term rentals. That definitely is a negative factor. Wishing you continued success and blessings.

    I've lived in the Hampton Roads area nearly my entire life...I an count on my fingers and toes how many times actually VISITED Virginia Beach...way too much traffic ...makes for summer traffic backups a daily thing...Once you get to the "beach area" , prepare to give up your firstborn for parking fees!! The BEST plae to go as THE BEACH is Sand Bridge Beach...AWESOME beach, WAVES...REAL waves..and away from the touristy stuff....

    Been living in VA for 6 years, from Michigan. Weather is a pro for me! Weather varies a lot, but it's never bad to me. Traffic sucks, but it's because people can't drive here. Everybody is in such a hurry and ride up on you so bad. Plus, no one uses blinkers. Also, one huge con for me that nobody ever mentions is paying property tax on cars. I never heard of paying property tax on a car until I moved here. Virginia is made for tourist and military families. Being an unmarried civilian, cost of living is horrible.

Hampton roads traffic is just a bunch of slow drivers physically and mentally

    I know this was for living in Virginia Beach, but I actually watched this as being one of the enemies you spoke about; tourist 😁😂 I will be visiting the next couple of summers... But, it was still very informative to me... My biggest con concern you gave me was about the traffic... I have had vacations ruined because of traffic... Trying to get to different activity locations. I am surprised by 2 pros you didn't mention... First, all the watersport activities... But, that might be more of a tourist thing. But, how as a pro for Virginia Beach, do you not mention THE BOARDWALK??? đŸ€·đŸ€·â€â™‚đŸ€·â€â™€

      While the traffic down at the boardwalk can be troublesome, sometimes, it definitely will not ruin your vacation. Funny, you mention the water sports as I was just out on the boat today, will have to mention that next time. As far as the boardwalk goes, I guess this video was from a locals perspective and most locals try to avoid the boardwalk. But as I said in the video tourism is what makes the city go and we’re glad to have them. I really appreciate you checking out the video and I hope you enjoy your vacation down here.

Yet, I have no interest in taking the annoying traffic-filled ride to Manhattan or even the easier subway ride to the ultra-crowded Manhattan.
