Area Information

Virginia Beach is the most populated city in Virginia. A top resort town with a mild year-round climate, it boasts a 300-foot-wide beach with a long boardwalk.

One of the best things about renting in Virginia Beach is the ability to live like you're on vacation. Whether you prefer an active or more quiet lifestyle, you'll find plenty to do, from hiking and kayaking to fishing and golfing. Music fans can enjoy nightly live music during the summer months at one of the four concert stages along the boardwalk. Nature lovers can trek through one of several state parks or go whale or dolphin watching.

Renting an apartment in Virginia Beach also places you in the midst of America's First Region, an area full of New England history. You can take in historical landmarks, including the site where English colonists first landed at the intersection of Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

Virginia Beach residents can easily commute to jobs in Norfolk. Using I-264, it's only a 25-minute drive in non-congested conditions. I-264 also links to the Hampton Roads Beltway, which allows commuters to access other suburbs in the Norfolk metro area, as well as the Norfolk International Airport.

There are many great neighborhoods to choose from when considering apartments for rent in Virginia Beach. Chesapeake Beach is the most in-demand area, close to the beach but with a quiet, residential vibe. Green Run is ideal for families, offering great schools, lots of green space and plenty of annual outdoor events. Kempsville will appeal to urbanites who want access to fine dining and shopping. Pembrook Manor features high-end apartment buildings and luxury entertainment.
