The defense by this community to keep Oceana as the master jet base for the east coast is exceptionally strong. Our military families, who have lived in many cities around our country and world, love the Hampton Roads area due to the many recreational, educational, and cultural opportunities. The moderate temperatures allow for outdoor enjoyment year-round. The average daytime temperature in January is 50 degrees and July is 90 degrees. The population is very diverse and the city draws 2.5 million visitors per year. Many military families that become stationed elsewhere keep their homes in Virginia Beach and surrounding cities based on a strong investment outlook and a desire to return to the area.

The Allure of Virginia Beach: The first vacationers in Virginia Beach were the first English Colonists who enjoyed three days at the site of the Cape Henry Lighthouse prior to settling in Jamestown. Beginning in the 1880’s, the elite socialites of Norfolk would come to enjoy the oceanfront festivities that occurred at the original Cavalier Hotel. The tourism industry evolved and today, Virginia Beach draws those who enjoy golfing, water activities, and the feeling of a year-round party town. In addition, the central location on the east coasthas enabled the area to have a thriving and proud military presence, including the home of the largest fighter jet facility in the US.
