"Best Public Elementary School"
Old New England-like homes. Lots of culture and things for the kids to do. Safe for the kids. Some homes flood during storms and some do not: very far north end of Larchmont (Fairwater Dr) does not. Yacht club, pool, museums, baseball stadium, mall. Base is 10 min or less drive with large commissary, Exchange, CDC and Youth Services. Youth Services will bus kids from Larchmont Elementary School to YS center.

"The best of all worlds"
If you're looking to live minutes from base in a family-friendly neighborhood with great schools, there is no question that Larchmont is the best neighborhood to be in. We are blocks from Larchmont Elementary, the Larchmont Library, and ODU where there are tons of activities to keep us occupied when DH is gone! When he is on land, he is minutes from base so he never has to waste valuable time each day in traffic! When I was working in Virginia Beach, I never dealt with traffic issues either because I was always going the opposite direction - wonderful! The kids have tons of friends in the neighborhood so we are always outside playing and mingling. Some downsides to the neighborhood: flooding (though never a problem on our street, check the city storm surge maps on website for specific locations), older homes (mostly built between 1930 and 1960, ours is a 1930 we fixed up), and roof rats (just get good pest people).

"Family Friendly Neighborhood"
This is a great neighborhood if you have kids or without. You will meet lots of people walking or running thru the streets. Kids still can play on most streets. Larchmont is one of the neighborhoods that do flood with hurricanes or lots of rain but its mostly street flooding. Most of the homes are from the 1930s with lots of character. Elementary school and playgrounds are within walking distance.
