Virginia Beach VS Norfolk VS Chesapeake - Which Is the Best To Live In?

[@kazeryu17]

Imo, the biggest benefit to living in Central Norfolk is the easy access you have to the region. You can be on the interstate as soon as 3-10 minutes, downtown or town center in about 15 minutes, the oceanfront in 20-30 minutes. If you travel alot, the airport and amtrak are very close. While I agree that Virginia beach has more shopping volume, access really depends on what part of the city you live in. Norfolk is a much smaller city as far as area goes, compared to Chesapeake or Virginia Beach, so it usually doesn't take longer than 10 minutes to drive to a decant grocery store from any part of Norfolk, and the convenience stores are plentiful (and very redundant). Another benefit is that Norfolk has decant public transportation compared to the other two cities, so while I wouldn't go carless by choice unless I live in the urban core(Downtown, Ghent, Old Town Portsmouth, Berkeley, and the rest of western Norfolk), car troubles are not the end of the world in Norfolk, and getting around the city isn't too difficult without one. Central Norfolk ain't perfect, but it's great for those who have to travel all over the region.

Thank you for this video! I’m looking into moving to the Hampton Roads area. I would like to see if you can point me into the right direction on finding a modern townhouse to rent.

[@zsanarahoskins3595]

You are very knowledgeable! This is very helpful.

[@MarkHumphreysChannel]

This was incredibly helpful

[@Trioptic3D]

What neighborhood is this, starting at the 18:25 mark when you started discussing townhouses? I like the architecture of these, and they look newer.

[@toddwrenn7741]

Not 100% sure but that looks like it’s near the restored cavalier hotel

[@carlosmelgarejo9736]

I've lived in NYC, Wilmington, Raleigh, Hampton Roads, Boston. Now back in Raleigh. Can't wait to move back to the ol' 757.

[@figmentofmyimaginatn]

ayo do something for Portsmouth we need more traffic coming through to bring business through. ever since the tolls get put in place Portsmouth and western branch and north Suffolk have had some impact

[@Mamun-SEO-Expert]

Awesome video keep up the excellent content.

[@OleensEmbroidery]

The best thing about this area is the military's impact on the economy. A lot more stable as money is always coming in. The worst thing about the military is that transient people often do not invest in their communities. Often not voting or volunteering.

[@DOROTHYBRODERICK]

thanks for the info and comparisons...

[@birdlynn417]

Oh, wow, I never knew about Virginia, and that it is surrounded by so much water. Cool! Great job show and telling, this is great!

VB!❤️

[@Steve-Duh-Rino]

Informative. Enjoyed!

[@billmcfadden4791]

parts of Norfolk have crime issues, Realtor used to be able to address that issue but no longer allowed.

[@HoopsRaccoon]

There are crime issues in all of the Hampton roads cities depending on the area. Norfolk is smaller by area. Of course it’ll be concentrated in a smaller area vs va beach.

[@cherimallory6970]

How about Suffolk? Senior communities?Riverfront?

[@IsaacSitjar]

Norfolk is chill but I'm from up north I lived in Virginia Beach for 9 years

[@sergiogogorza1039]

[@teresaschneider6726]

How about all Catholic Schools, high schools , middle schools and elementary's. And prices. Thank you. Have a good day

[@katfawkes5655]

Im a local here Virginia Beach used to be a very nice place Not anymore. Its become a very creepy and unsafe place to live! I wouldn't even come here on vacation. Visit out of the country like Thailand. The people are not very nice here or welcoming.

[@toddwrenn7741]

The craziest thing about the east beach section of Ocean view is that you can pay nearly $800,000 for a house, and still have no grocery store nearby, and drug dealers and prostitutes nearby

[@domirican81]

Love and grew up in Chesapeake. Currently live in Virginia Beach. Would never ever ever live in Norfolk.

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

Safety safety safety safety first.

[@mywifecangametoo1111]

757 is best

[@Mamun-SEO-Expert]

I hope you do well. I enjoy watching your videos regularly and think they are beautiful. However, I noticed that your videos are not reaching those who subscribe to your channel. They can't watch your video because there is some problem with your video. If you allow me, I can give you some tips that can help you increase your video views.

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

VB the ZEUS GOD platforms for great bodies. NORFOLK Classic GHENT and COLONIAL neighborhoods. Southern living . Ocean view Norfolk and VA is growing and very livable.

[@jonpeek5619]

Forgot the hood in Norfolk

[@user-by2zl3vk5y]

Stay away from Ghent commons, it's nothing more than a short cut from grandby to Llewellyn, especially on prince Edward way and getting worse,sad 😢

[@socialistbatman1211]

The roads in Norfolk are so damaged. There is constant construction that leads to only one lane being open on the already narrow highway, and too many areas have no lights at night. Something about the way the street signs look also bothers me for some reason.

[@reaccionapr]

Norfolk thinks they are NYC

[@PaulMcClung-rm9yu]

Ask anyone who lives in hampton roads, "Whats the nice part of Norfolk?" and they will just stare at you like a deer caught in the headlights. Avoid Norfolk at all costs.

[@shanceeaton9508]

Naw that’s just what you military transplants say, y’all are not real Virginians.

[@kyelryland9069]

Greenbrier is the best place to live in Chesapeake no question... VA Beach is the most livable city. Norfolk has very few places worth living. Ghent, downtown (which is super expensive) and that is really it

[@shanceeaton9508]

Definitely not Chesapeake, worst interstate system I’ve ever seen, and super slow drivers , city layout makes no sense. They keep building houses but whole city full of two lane roads. Literally a nothing ass city with 300,000 people I don’t even think there’s a bowling alley in Chesapeake if there is , it’s in bumbafuck nowhere. Worse city planning I’ve ever seen. Takes 20-30 minutes to go anywhere , 40 minutes if it’s the day time unless you pay a toll everyday.

[@justsusan4436]

Chesapeake is very boring! Absolutely nothing culturally stimulating.

[@robertwilsoniii2930]

I grew up in Chesapeake and agree with you, but I think that's how the citizens like it...

[@kens9213]

Portsmouth?...just kidding...AVOID ptown

[@HoopsRaccoon]

I live in the safest neighborhood in Ptown. You’re just yapping.

[@joefox9765]

Do yourself a favor and Don't. Unless you like hell 👺 Glad I left 20 years ago

[@curtissnow9546]

No where, we’re full and this place is garbage
