"Christopher Farms"

Family Friendly Neighborhood- with the elementary school inside the neighborhood! Probably 30-40 kids live within walking/biking distance of school. Tons of kids and families- many of the original homeowners are moving to make way for younger families. Lots of dog walkers, people riding bikes, and kids playing outside. Beautiful lakes in the neighborhood, HOA ensures that the houses are kept up. Plenty of mixture of military/civilian, some rentals go very fast. More convenient than some of the other neighborhoods in South VB- close to Holland/Princess Anne. Close to shopping, Harris Teeter, Sentara Hospital, etc. Great elementary school, PA Middle, Kellam HS.

Pros Cons
  1. Elementary School in Neighborhood
  2. Tons of Kids
  3. Younger Families
  4. Military
  1. Some Jet Noise
