Chase City & Green Bay VA

[Jason Davis]

The other day I decided to google "best rental markets in Virginia" just to see what came up.  I got two different lists that were mostly the same (Richmond, Hampton, etc), but both included Chase City and Green Bay as two of the best 5 or so rental markets in the state.  I was surprised since I haven't heard of either place, so I looked them up.  

According to bestplaces.net, Chase City has a population of about 2,300 people and is down about 10% over the last 10 years and Green Bay is listed as an "unincorporated community." Neither of them seem to be near much of  any thing as far as I can tell.

Anyone have any insight? The lists didn't mention any specific reason other than good returns that made them desirable locations, but based on location and population, they wouldn't seem to fit the criteria of a good rental market.

Thanks
