This post is going to be a discussion of one of my favorite neighborhoods in Virginia Beach: Ocean Lakes.
I am a current resident in Ocean Lakes. I have sold several homes and listed in this neighborhood. I think it is a great place to raise a family. It has a feel of community and safety. I have wonderful neighbors who have helped me out numerous times in the three years I have lived in my hime, with lawnmowing, etc.. The common areas feature many lakes, playgrounds, tennis courts, and pools. The pools are great in the summer, though a bit crowded on the weekends. If you are a beach person like me, its a great location: 5 miles from the oceanfront and 5 miles from Sandbridge. There is not too much jet noice, which I am a supported of! For people with kids, I am always seeing kids on bikes, playing ball, or playing at the playgrounds. It is also located by several desirable shopping centers and a nice movie theater. Some of my favorite restaurants in the area are Tilted Table, Havanna, El Tapitio, Outback, and Malibu Macs. There will be an Olive Garden soon as well. There is also great shopping with both Target and Walmart nearby as well as Home Depot, Bloom, Farm Freshes, and several small business. There are 2 great hair salons Twist and Rumors. Oceana is right around the corner for military commuters. I have really enjoyed this neighborhood and recommend it to all my buyers. You can purchase a townhome or condo in the area for a little as $160,000 or you can buy a nice home with a good yard for up to $450,000. It is a neighborhood for a family of any budget.
