You're definitely right. I need to stop being so negative about the NN restaurants. I appreciate you watching and commenting!

@rickm9607 that may be true in recent presidential elections, however we currently have a Republican governor, and historically, have had republican majority house and state senate, though both right now are held just barely by the Democrats. So I'd say politics in Virginia are a lot more purple than they might seem from the outside looking in

Thank you!

It sure is!

I don't have much content on Norfolk, but if you have any questions please shoot me an email and I'd be happy to answer them! [email protected]

If you just want land, like a few acres or more, options are very limited in Hampton, but they do exist!

That's a great question! My experience is that mosquitos in the area are active later in the spring and through summer. They're mostly gone now. I haven't found them to interfere with outdoor activities other than as the sun is setting they come out en masse and make relaxing outside, or anything where you're standing still, very difficult.

I really tend to agree with you on this. We could probably dissolve half the HOAs in Hampton Roads and the neighborhoods wouldn't change a bit. At a certain point, pride of ownership takes over!

Hey!! Thanks for the compliment 😊 Would love to talk to you about all of the above any time. Give me a shout any time 757.912.4440

Thank you for your comment! I really love a lot about Hampton, I just think there's so much untapped potential. I genuinely believe Hampton should be one of the premier mid-sized cities on the east coast. Downtown Hampton should be filled with people and shopping and waterfront dining, but there's very little activity there outside of the small strip of restaurants and Bull Island. There should be at least two restaurants similar to YROC in Gloucester, but the only place close is Surf Rider. It's like Hampton forgot it was surrounded by water. Neighborhoods like Phoebus should look like Cape Cod towns, but haven't raised their quality to match the greatness of East Mellon St. But even there, the best little lot right before the bridge has been and empty concrete slab for at least 15 years. There's just so much untapped greatness in Hampton and my disappointment comes from that.

@@movingtohamptonroads I can agree with that 👍

Etsy!

@@movingtohamptonroads thx!

Gas is sitting just under $3 per gallon most places today!

Thank you so much for watching and for this thoughtful comment. If you do ever make the move back, I'd love to help with that. And if not, I'm glad to hear you have such great memories of growing up in Hampton.

@@movingtohamptonroads I'm planning to move back. It's just that things currently aren't going in my favor. I didn't realize how much I loved growing up in Virginia until after I moved out. When I was growing up in Virginia, I had an anxious desire to move out. My plan was to move out after graduating from high school. As I stated beforehand, I graduated from Bethel High School in 2013. Then, less than a month later, my mom moved the family to Buffalo, New York, where we lived for a few months and then in early 2014, we moved Greensboro, North Carolina and have been living here since. As I said before, my plan was to move out of Virginia after graduating from high school. I'm glad I graduated just in time; I just did not expect it to happen so fast. Upon realizing that, the more I think about it, I never wanted to move out of Virginia. And in the years since I moved out of Virginia, I learned two things: 1. Be careful what you wish for because you just might get your wish; you just never know when and how you'll get it. 2. Appreciate what you have now because you don't know what you have until it's gone and when it's gone, it's gone and you might not get it back.

Thank you!

Thanks!! Gloucester would be a good one...lots of great names there!

Nope, not me. I've never called zoning on someone in my life, let alone a neighbor of one of my listings. But I'm sorry that happened to you.

This is the Lorton!

Hi, thanks for watching. I don't have any open houses scheduled in this neighborhood right now, but we can certainly connect for a private showing if/when there's something on the market you're interested in.

@richardgrobertson5293 it's a wonderful town! Thank you for watching!

@@movingtohamptonroads I live there

We cover taxes and stuff like that in other videos. The research I've done on the subject (not that I'm a professional in the field) does show that Newport News is fairly average, to slightly above average, for taxes when compared to other mid-sized cities across the U.S.

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for your comment! One of the great aspects of a VA loan is that they're assumable by non-military as well! So if you're selling your home with that amazing 2.25%, as long as the buyer meets the lenders qualifications and can make up the gap between the sales price and the mortgage amount, they can assume your loan regardless of military status!
