"Family Friendly and Close to SO MUCH!"

Brigadoon is a well established neighborhood, with many parks throughout that are maintained during the year. Great neighborhood for walks and a feeling of safety.

We have lived here for 4 years and I have two young children. With a military spouse who is deployed off/on, I walk my dog with the kids in a stroller a few times a week thru my favorite 1.3 mile trek. I always feel safe!

The community has an established Civic League that puts on events throughout the year including a 4th of July Parade & BBQ, Light the Night Walk, Santa Parade and walk, etc. Civic league membership is only $20/year requested (not demanded) which is used to help beautify flower beds on main intersections in the development, etc.

Close to a WONDERFUL preschool (Mothers Day Out Preschool & Kind off Old Kempsville Rd). Very affordable and offer early and late childcare around school hours. My daughter attended the last 3 years (age 2-5 thru PreK) Offer program starting for infants!

Pros Cons

  2. Yards are well maintained
  3. Equally close to all three bases (Norfolk, Oceana, Little Crk) all within 20 min
  1. Indian River can get busy during evening rush hour
