Virginia Beach Quality of Life - 12/31/2011
Virginia Beach has a great Ocean Front, plenty of good restaurants, lots of educational opportunities, a stable economic base with high,military and tourist concentrations. Weather is pleasant most of the year with few extremes. School system is good to great with a fair number of private alternatives that are good to great. In addition our emergency system of police, fire, and volunteer rescue is about as good as it

Retirement - 4/13/2011
The personal property tax and insurance will drive me out when I retire. My federal retirement will be taxed by the state also.

Double digit losses in 2010, more of the same pred - 1/19/2011
In 2010, Virginia beach endured a 12% dip in housing prices, and now talking heads are saying that they expect 2011 to be another poor year with a 10% or more drop in prices. Factor in foreclosure inventory lingering in the background, and the area's homeowners could be upside-down on their mortgages for some time to come.

Va Beach - 9/21/2010
Overcrowded, over priced, angry, noisy, stressful and dirty. I have lived in VA Beach my entire life (41 years) and have seen a beautiful rural community develop into the hussle and bussle that destroys quality of life. Maybe it is just me, but I preferred a quiter VA Beach where you knew the police and they knew you (or at least your family). A place where people waved when you drove past their house. Those days are gone. Time to look elsewhere for me and my family to find

Cost of Housing in the USA - 9/1/2010
Hi,
My name is Mark Dickenson.
I am amazed at the cost of housing in the USA. I just saw that the median price of a home in Dickenson county Virginia is $US65,000. In Australia we are lucky to by a run down home on less than 1/4 of an acre of land for under $US440,000.
I would suggest to Americans, that you start approaching Australians to look at purchasing Real Estate in the USA.
Why ?
1) To start with, Australia is the only western country that has not been in recession. The latest figures show that the economy in Australia is still growing.
2) Australians have been ripped off with the cost of housing in Australia for the last twenty years. Even with the current AU$/US$ exchange rate, Australians can buy 6 of your houses for the cost of one of ours with a good deal of money left to renovate.
3) Australia has been allied with the USA since WW2. If you cant trust us, you can not trust anyone.

Awesome place to raise kids...breath taking - 7/26/2010
As a seasoned real estate agent,I have been all over the hampton roads area of Virginia. I can say with out a doubt I love all Virginia Beach has to offer. We have beautiful beaches, a water park (Ocean Breeze), aquarium, plenty of shopping and a new performing arts center (Sadler Center)in the heart of Virginia beach. Not to mention the beautiful homes and hidden mansions tucked away in the city.
The children are not exposed to the crime of a urban city. Instead it is a mixure of country and a little city. This gives children a balanced exposure. The schools here are great as well as the people. Dont be surprised If you see several stickers saying "Virginia is for lovers"..its true.:)
The housing market right now is excellent for buyers. Currently there are decent priced homes to choose from now if you are ready to enjoy the well desired beach life. Feel free to look at property at www.aqilarealestate.com
