Beach Living!

Oceanfront, festivals, the Boardwalk, pure resort fun!

There are few places where you can enjoy the close proximity of a high-profile beach setting with the comfort of quiet neighborhoods. Virginia Beach has this! You have two great choices – live like you’re on vacation right near the beach or, if you prefer the solitude of suburbia, enjoy a more relaxed style living but with close access to the beach. It’s an excellent one-two punch! And the Virginia Beach Oceanfront is loaded with festivals! First of all, 2 high-profile races bookend the warm months (Rock & Roll Half-Marathon & Shamrock Marathon), the American Music Festival, massive 4th of July Fireworks, the Patriotic Festival, the Neptune Festival, you get the drift. Virginia is for Lovers but Virginia Beach is all about loving people and fun. Also nearby is the Virginia Aquarium, an expansive aquarium that educates about water life, but also the outdoors, as well. And of course, the 3-mile Boardwalk along the Oceanfront – it’s the perfect spot to walk on a date, go biking, or even perusing down the Oceanfront to pick the perfect spot to eat overlooking the water!
