Virginia Beach is the best place to live on the East Coast. We’ll go over geography, climate, hurricanes, flooding, and traffic. We’ll compare it to Florida and the Northeast beaches, we’ll discuss the real estate market, the economy, new developments, and how that affects quality of life and creates stability. I’ll explain why Virginia Beach is not a tourist town, which may seem odd if you’ve visited here during the summer as a tourist. And probably most importantly, we’ll talk about the water including the 35 miles of beaches and what must be hundreds of miles of waterfront tucked away right in the middle of it all. There are few places on the entire east coast, or the entire country for that matter, that give you so many options to boat, swim, fish, explore, and play on the water. And you get all this along with a vibrant year round economy supporting a population of 500,000 people, 1.8M if you include the surrounding cities. Once you see Virginia Beach through my eyes, you’ll wonder why you didn’t see it sooner. Of course, there’s a big difference between knowing and doing. Knowing that Virginia Beach is where you want to live and looking at homes online is not the same as understanding the neighborhoods and finding the right house, for you. After we have gone over why you should consider Virginia Beach, I’ll show you how to make it happen and avoid all the common mistakes that many people make when moving here.

    Sir, this is the best presentation I've ever seen about where to live on the East Coast. I'm a Navy Veteran Hull Technician. I served under Carter & Reagan in the Cold War on 3 different Submarine Tenders. I'm turning 65 in March. I'm retired, not Navy Retired, just retired; I'm still trying to work on solutions to fund a better lifestyle, and I'm still in good health. I am listing my home for sale very soon, probably in the next 2 months, and I plan to go to Virginia Beach to purchase my next house. My wife is currently in the Philippines but should be here very soon. Immigration has been messing with us for years. My son is a retired Air Force pilot who is now living in Duluth. His wife, my daughter-in-law, is not retired (to my knowledge), working for the Secretary of Defense in the Pentagon, and is also a Major in the Air Force. I will be reaching out to begin our relationship this coming week. I have a couple of Navy friends who live there, and it will be so wonderful to be in a Navy area again. Thank you for your service and the excellence of what you do now. AWESOME!!!

    I’m worth 23 million and my wife was from that area. Brown nasty water, brown nasty people, parasite populations, shitty waves, alligators don’t hurt me, ski with alligators daily, golfing in va s hot and windy, water comes from Kure lake, portamouth, Norfolk, Richmond barely has snow, the Gulf Stream is hundreds of miles off shore to fish, the Chesapeake bay is a big feeder of mud and nasty, there is no elevation like he is saying that makes a difference, people are poor, lots of rainbow flags, fishing is gay, traffic and tunnels are retarded. It is cold and windy in the winter.

    Nice video, man! I’m here a couple times a year as I just started working for Military Sealift Command and I like the real estate market, but I’m still learning the area. This video was super helpful. I got to the end of your video. I flew as a navigator for AFSOC in the USAF. Prep for the flight was MASSIVE. The flight would live or die on that prep.

    I am looking into moving to Virginia Beach from Celebration, FL. I am a teacher needing a good school district too. Does Virginia Beach have a walkable friendly safe main town center?

    • @willlayton7079
      @willlayton7079 6 місяців тому

      Yes it does. And it's called... Towne Center. It's about 10-15 minutes from the beach. Virginia Beach used to be Princess Anne County which means that it about the size of a typical county and much larger than your typical city. Think of it as having multiple towns within a city. So there are several different centers of town.

    @kazeryu17 8 місяців тому

    I like the same beach you like for how bipolar it is. You can go there one weekend, and the water is smooth and calm. The next weekend, the wind is blowing from the north, and you get impressive waves that pound the shore and spray you with mist. The next weekend, the tide goes out far enough to expose the sand bar, and you get your own private island. And then, the next weekend its calm again. I go there alot, and its a different beach every time. Also, the smell of campfire smoke from first landing park, mixing with the salty air in the evening is somthing else. There is also a restaurant that you can hike to and access from the sand.

      But Virginia Beach is not like anywhere. If all you're looking for is a place to live, then anywhere will do. There's nowhere else on the east coast that gives you salt water, waves, beach, boating, fishing, wildlife, and lack of crowds in a state's largest city and within 20 minutes of an international airport.
