"Great for Kids & being outdoors"

Very family friendly: pool, clubhouse, tennis courts, playgrounds, and ponds that you can fish. Neighborhood swim team. Many social events and parades. There are always people out walking. Super friendly. Many military officers in neighborhood. Some of the best schools Virginia has to offer. Definitely best in the Hampton Roads area. My husband commutes to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (1/2 hour) but a commute to any of the area military bases is convenient. Oceana & JEB Little Creek are each about 1/2 hour. Norfolk Naval Base is about 40 minutes. Norfolk Naval Shipyard is about 25 minutes. A nice mall is about 15 minutes away. YMCA is just down the street. Restaurants, grocery and other big box retailers are within 5-15 minutes. The neighborhood association ensures that homes, yards, and common areas are kept up. Our kiddos like to feed the resident ducks and geese. Safe, safe, safe. We fell in love the moment we drove through here. It will not disappoint!
