Virginia Beach VA Real Estate
Home to more than 1.5 million people, Hampton Roads is located in the southeast region of Virginia, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean. The beautiful waterfront landscapes of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Suffolk provide a tranquil atmosphere in the midst of the economic prosperity that makes Hampton Roads the 31st largest Metropolitan Statistical Area in the United States. Offering residents a unique quality of life, the region is teeming with cultural, educational, and economic opportunities to choose from.As the world's largest natural harbor, Hampton Roads has played a vital role in shaping the area's history and economy. From the shores of Virginia Beach where our founding fathers first arrived to Colonial Williamsburg, there are plenty of things to do and places to explore. Ever since the first permanent English settlement was established in Jamestown, Hampton Roads has grown into a booming area that is perfect for small and large businesses alike, offering more employment opportunities for residents.
The name "Hampton Roads" is a nautical term meaning "protected anchorage" or "a safe harbor." With the east coast's master jet base, Oceana Naval Air Station, situated at the heart of the region - including other military institutions in Norfolk (Little Creek, Fort Story, and Dam Neck) - the Hampton Roads community goes beyond the public's expectations of a safe environment in which residents can live. Oceana covers nearly 6,000 acres, about 16 times its original size, and employs over 11,000 navy personnel.
With the strong military presence and Washington, D.C. nearby, it is no wonder that Hampton Roads draws such a diverse crowd. Even so, the area remains a strong community through its countless festivals, performances and markets that take place year round allowing everyone to take in and appreciate the cultural variety among the people of the region.
