Virginia Beach: Military Suburban Sprawl - 4/16/2010
I have been living in Virginia Beach now for about 3.5 years and unfortunately I do not like it. I find Virginia Beach and South Hampton Roads in general to be boring and lacking in true diversity (despite the military presence here). I also do not find the people here to be very friendly. People are pretty aggressive and not in a good way... and having been born and raised in the North East that's really saying something. This is definitely a military town and you will not fit in unless you are connected to the military or have close family that is. Unfortunately, I have also experienced what I feel is subtle prejudice.
The good about Virginia Beach? This city has a lot of trees! Beautiful trees. Also, the beach is close by and while the abundance of mis-matched hotel chains screw up the natural beauty of the beach, it is still very nice to scroll down the Virginia Beach boardwalk during the off

COST OF LIVING HIGH, BUT GREAT TO RAISE A FAMILY - 2/18/2009
My view of Virginia Beach is that it is a great place for those who are already established in their careers and making good income. The cost of living is not that great if you are attending college or just starting out. Crime is good, weather is good (although it will be 30 degrees one day and 75 the next), It is pretty diverse here but definitely not enough cultural activities to go with it. Great for raising
