Neighborhoods Within About 20 Miles
- Virginia Beach: Shore Drive, Chic’s Beach, Bayside, Pembroke, Great Neck, Lynnhaven
- Norfolk: East Beach, Ocean View, Wards Corner
- Northern Chesapeake, including Greenbrier and Indian River
Miles don’t tell the whole story here. In Hampton Roads, a 12-mile commute through a bridge-tunnel can take longer than a 22-mile drive that doesn’t cross the water.
Chesapeake and central Virginia Beach often trade a few more minutes of drive time for more space and a lower price per square foot.
Looking wider can also help your BAH go further, get you into a newer home or give you a better shot at resale when it’s your turn to PCS.
Living Near Little Creek: The Good, the Bad & the Ugly
Good

- Easy access to both Norfolk and Virginia Beach without a tunnel
- Fort Story and First Landing State Park are right there
Bad
- Shore Drive and Independence Blvd get congested at gate times

Ugly

- Salt air is hard on HVAC, roofs and exteriors

Frequently Asked Questions About Living Near JEB Little Creek–Fort Story
How far do these searches reach from JEB Little Creek–Fort Story?
The 15-mile search covers homes within 15 miles of JEB Little Creek–Fort Story, and the 20-mile search goes a little wider. Both are straight-line distances from the base, not drive times, so use them as a starting point and check real commutes before you commit.
Should I only look within 15 to 20 miles of base?
Not necessarily. Tunnels, bridges and traffic patterns matter more than miles here. Looking a bit outside the radius can get you more house, a better price or a commute that is actually easier. I’ll help you compare.
Can I use my VA loan on these homes?
Most single-family homes qualify. Condos and some townhomes need to be on the VA-approved list, and every home has to meet VA minimum property requirements. My VA loan page covers the details.
Can you tour homes for me before I arrive?
Yes. I do live video tours, check the neighborhood and commute in person and send you notes, so you can shortlist homes before you ever get here.
