    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.

      You're welcome! It's not obvious until you see it. Then you wonder why more people don't see it.

    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!!!

    It's more crowded that it was in 1963, I'm sure. But it's far less crowded than any other beach town.

      I don't. But I left the Navy ten years ago. He could be the ace of the base and I wouldn't know it!

    I wish you hadn't made this video. I'm a Virginia Beach resident since 1963. This town is already overcrowded and traffic everywhere is horrendous. We don't need any more people moving here! You must be a real estate agent or a developer. Thanks a lot!

    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.
