Virginia Beach Real Estate Area Information

Location Centrally located on the East Coast, Virginia Beach is situated in the southeastern corner of the state where Virginia meets the sea. The resort city is within easy fly-drive access of two-thirds of the U.S. population. Norfolk Virginia Beach International Airport which hosts most major airline carriers and offers 200 flights daily is just 20 minutes from the Virginia Beach oceanfront. Virginia Beach is also situated 45 minutes from Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport.

AVERAGE TEMPERATURES Air High Air Low Water Ocean and Bay Beaches With 35 miles of waterfront property, Virginia Beach has long been considered a classic American beach vacation spot. In Virginia Beach, a total of 14 miles of beach is free and open to the public. In the Virginia Beach resort area, newly-landscaped pedestrian beach entrances are easy to find, and parking is ample. If your idea of a "day at the beach" is more relaxed, visit Chesapeake Beach (known to the locals as Chicks Beach) for a more tranquil spot along the scenic Chesapeake Bay. Swimmers will enjoy the bays protected shallow waters.

For a more secluded environment, the Sandbridge area on Virginia Beachs southern shore is perfect. The pristine shores of Sandbridge are quiet and untouched by the hands of modernization, and just 20 minutes from the main resort area. No hotels. Just breathtaking ocean-view rental homes, condominiums and peacefulness fill the Sandbridge shoreline. White sand sweeps from the shore to the streets where the traffic is less and seagulls leave long-lasting footprints.

Oceanfront Boardwalk The Virginia Beach boardwalk dates back to 1888, and has been ranked among the best American boardwalks by Discovery Channel, Dr. Beach, Southern Living and Coastal Living. The concrete thoroughfare is an impressive 28 feet wide and three miles long with a separate bike path, making it ideal for strolling, rollerblading and biking. Entertainment is offered nightly during the summer months and four oceanfront stages at 7th, 17th, 24th and 31st Streets provide live musical acts. For handicapped accessibility, ramps from the boardwalk to the beach are available at every block.

Military bases in Virginia Beach include: Naval Air Station Oceana, the Naval Station Norfolk, Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, the major operating base for the amphibious forces of the United States Atlantic Fleet and the largest base of its kind in the world; Fleet Combat Training Center, Atlantic, Dam Neck, which provides training in the operation and employment of combat direction and control systems; and the State Military Reservation, also called Camp Pendleton, which the state has traditionally allocated primarily for the use of the Virginia National Guard. Note: Access to military bases may be restricted for public tours and a valid picture ID is required.

Come see why Virginia Beach is a great place to own real estate, grow a family, enjoy the community, and be happy.
