State Park Campground Reopens

North Shore in Virginia Beach is a laid-back waterfront area near Shore Drive and the Chesapeake Bay, known for a relaxed, residential feel and easy access to sand, trails, and open water. Breezy air off the bay and bright afternoons make it easy to spend time outside, whether you’re walking the neighborhood, biking nearby paths, or heading to First Landing State Park. Locals also like having casual restaurants and everyday conveniences close by without the bustle of the main resort strip.

Homes here tend to be a mix of established single-family properties and smaller pockets of condos or townhomes, with some rental options that appeal to people who want a coastal lifestyle without a long commitment. Getting around is straightforward via Shore Drive and I-264 for commutes toward Town Center, Norfolk, and other parts of Hampton Roads. For buyers, sellers, and renters, the draw is the combination of quiet streets, water nearby, and a practical day-to-day setup that still feels like a getaway.
