Living in Chesapeake, VA

Living in location

Chesapeake is a mid-sized city located in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Although the city wasn't incorporated until the 1960s, the area was originally settled in the 17th century and many historic sites and attractions are still nearby. While the military doesn't have a presence in Chesapeake, there is a large port and naval base in nearby Norfolk. As a result, many Chesapeake renters are employed in the military and defense sectors. Many renters in Chesapeake are also drawn to the city for its beautiful outdoor scenery. To that end, the Elizabeth River runs directly through the center of the city, and boating is a popular activity among renters here. Meanwhile, the southern half of Chesapeake is mainly rural and contains many parks and wildlife preserves. There are also many golf courses in the surrounding area, and the Chesapeake Arboretum is another popular attraction among local renters.

Additionally, Chesapeake is known for its strong sense of community and family-friendly atmosphere.
