Question

Whats it like to travel or live in Hampton Roads (Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake) area of Virginia anyway

Answer 1

Within Chesepeake, there is a nice little community called Great Bridge. It has everything you will need to feel at home, without feeling "boxed in", by a fast paced life.

The Albermarle & Chesapeake Canal, part of the Atlantic Inter Coastal Waterway offers a very nice family oriented park, in Great Bridge, where you can watch boats of all sizes move thru the locks.

A short drive in any direction will take you to a shopping center (Greenbriar, has all of the major stores) and fine dining.

Beaches are close enough for a day trip to Virginia Beach, as well as North Carolina.

The school system is one of the best in the State and Chesapeake has a good hospital.

The library system is state of the art and has a wonderful children's program.

From Chesapeake to the mountains (Skyline Drive), is approximately 4 hours, perfect for a week-end get-a-way.

If you're planning to buy a house, check out the Brandermill and Etheridge Meadows areas.

You should spend a few days visiting the different areas, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Portsmouth and Chesapeake, before you make a final decision.

I'm sure a realtor would be happy to show you around and give you some good advice.

Answer 2

I traveled there last summer.

I'd think it would be wonderful to live there, but personally I'd probably prefer living there in the slower off-season.  It was beautiful to vacation there, though.  Best part of the vacation, and I'd do it again.

Answer 3
