Virginia Beach: More Than Just a Beach Town
When most people hear "Virginia Beach," they picture the resort strip — the boardwalk, the hotels, the summer crowds. And yes, that's part of it. But the families who live here year-round know a very different city: one of the largest in America by land area, with 35 miles of coastline, a massive military presence, excellent schools, and a quality of life that keeps people from leaving.
Barry Jenkins has spent over a decade helping families navigate the Virginia Beach market. What he'll tell you is that VB is one of the most misunderstood real estate markets on the East Coast. People assume it's all tourist condos and vacation rentals — but the majority of Virginia Beach is suburban, family-oriented neighborhoods with strong schools and stable home values.
The military component shapes everything about this market. With NAS Oceana and JEB Little Creek–Fort Story driving constant relocation demand, Virginia Beach rarely sees the dramatic downturns that hit other coastal markets. There's always a new wave of buyers — active duty, veterans, and civilian contractors — keeping the market liquid.
Whether you're looking for an oceanfront condo, a quiet neighborhood near the bay, or a large home in a top school district, Virginia Beach has more variety than most buyers expect.

HOA Fees in Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach has a mixed HOA landscape. Most single-family neighborhoods built before the 1990s — including much of Kempsville, North End, and older Great Neck — carry no HOA at all. Newer subdivisions and oceanfront condominiums are the primary exceptions, where fees cover shared amenities and building maintenance.
HOA fees vary by community and are subject to change. Verify current fees with the HOA management company before purchase. Condominium associations typically include additional exterior maintenance and insurance coverage.
