🧭 Relocating to Hampton Roads? Here’s What Buyers Should Know in 2025

Relocating can feel like a big leap—but when you’re moving to Hampton Roads, you’re landing in one of Virginia’s most vibrant, diverse, and opportunity-rich regions.

Whether it’s the military, the shipyards, tech jobs, or just a change of scenery pulling you in, Virginia 1st Realty Group is here to make the transition smooth.

🌆 Why Hampton Roads?

The region includes Smithfield, Suffolk, Chesapeake, Newport News, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach—each offering a unique lifestyle and price point. Want coastal charm? You got it. Suburban quiet? No problem. Historic downtown walkability? We’ve got that too.

Tips for relocating buyers:

• Get pre-approved early with a local lender

• Know your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves
