Near Fort Eustis - 4/12/2009
It's an okay place to live. The traffic is horrible, so dont even think about commuting to Norfolk from here. There are good places to go running in the Newport News Park and the Mariners Park. Does not have that many good bars Read More

Cost of Living and Housing - 4/7/2009

DO NOT MOVE HERE - 8/2/2008
I moved here from Seattle about a year ago because of the military. NN has a high crime rate, the streets are dirty, the attitude of the people here is horrible.

Williamsburg, Virginia Beach, and Read More

Education and Newport News - 3/5/2008
I have been a Newport News resident since 1997. The school system in our area makes great strides to hire excellent teachers K-12. Instead of building more gas stations, I wish they would invest in building a few more schools. The traffic is getting a bit out of control due to the population growth; So, I suppose the gas pumps are a necessity. Many of the schools are getting old, and Newport News really needs to find a way to improve their funding. The Virginia Lottery is suppose to help with some of our school funding, but it's rarely discussed. I hope things improve for the teachers and the students. They deserve Read More
