I live in Virginia Beach and work at the Naval Station in Norfolk.

I am a stay at home mom of four (soon five) kiddos and wife of an active duty airman currently stationed in the Cheyenne WY area.

There's a steady stream of military personnel always coming and going, and those that don't want to buy still want to find a nice place to live in for the 2-4 years they are stationed there.Good luck on getting started!

It's a nice, 3 BR townhouse in a terrific neighborhood with great schools close to metro station and Washington DC.

You have to double-bag them, and the North Point transfer station in Lindon Utah accept asbestos.

The majority of the homes purchased here are done so with VA loans, but the downside is after 3 years at a station the Army can move you to a different station leaving lots of servicemen with negative or no equity in their homes thanks to no down payment.

The problem is the land has been contaminated due to fuel tanks leaking from a gas station next door as shown on the phase II soil survey.

My husband is active duty Navy and we were station in Virginia Beach last tour!

I picture its location, and I can only picture that it has enormous potential.You have easy access to the Pike from multiple parts and subsequently commutability to both the I-495 and 128 technology belts, a commuter rail station to Boston, a growing public university, vibrant shopping at route 9, a bunch of relatively new reputable breweries, etc.

That projects such as Hampton Station Birds Fly South Brewery, Poe-West Mill retail and access to the Swamp Rabbit Trail are all positive indicators.
