While we believe that our dynamic business

environment is reason enough to move here, our

incredible lifestyle makes Virginia Beach a destination

almost too good to resist.

This oceanfront city offers an amazing assortment

of healthy outdoor activities, culture, an energized

lifestyle, contemporary mindset and ideal mid-Atlantic

location. And since Virginia Beach didn’t become a

city until 1963, we’re still in growth mode and our

infrastructure is still relatively new. We’re also one of

the safest cities of our size in the country.

What’s more, our location means proximity to the

nation’s capital, American history and changing

landscapes within a few hours’ drive.

when your employees ask abouT healTh benefiTs, offer Them an enTire ciTy. Thanks to our amazing assortment of outdoor recreation activities, Virginia Beach is one of the most fresh-air-oriented and healthy cities in the country. And fun? Oh, yeah.

Finding great outdoor fun and adventure here is easy. Deciding among all the

options is the challenge! The waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay

are obvious draws, but swimming and beach time is just the beginning. Did you

know there’s actually a surfing community in Virginia Beach, and that we host

the annual East Coast Surfing Championships, North America’s longest running

surf competition?

How about whale-watching and dolphin-watching – we boast the Mid-Atlantic’s

largest population of Bottleneck Dolphins, which migrate off the Virginia Beach

coast during the summer. Sailing, boating and fishing are nearly year-round activities

here – our waters have been called “the Striped Bass Capital of the World” –

while kayaking the ocean or remote lakes, rivers and marshes is another

outdoor-lover’s opportunity.

On land, there are more than a dozen public golf courses and several club courses.

There are miles and miles of biking and hiking paths, and in First Landing

State Park you’ll find where the English settlers first landed prior to founding

Jamestown, the first English-speaking permanent settlement in 1607.

the city, especially along our famous boardwalk, you can enjoy

relaxing outdoor dining and our fresh-caught seafood.

Have an eye for art? The Contemporary Art Center of Virginia

explores the significant art of our time with changing exhibitions

oceanfront. And for an up-close look at the amazing world of

underwater life off our shores, the Virginia Beach Aquarium

tanks, exhibits and live animal habitats make it one of the top

ten visited museums in the country.

Virginia Beach has been ranked as the second best place to raise a family

in America by Best Life magazine, and has been one of the safest cities of

its size in the country for seven years running, according to the FBI.

Students here benefit from one of the nation’s best public school systems,

and 11 institutions of higher learning contribute thousands of skilled laborers

to our workforce every years. And, residential offerings fit any lifestyle:

from oceanfront beach houses to urban lofts or rural country homes.

Our tax rate and cost-of-living are moderate, and lower than most other

East Coast cities. Our economy is extremely stable and often immune to

violent market reactions, thanks to our significant military and government

presence.

Did someone say sports? Two family experiences are the DLH Sports

Complex – home to teams, leagues and sports camps – and the Virginia

Beach Sportsplex, a central training spot for the U.S. women’s national

field hockey team, men’s and women’s pro soccer games, NCAA Division II

Soccer Championships and more.

Jamestown and Yorktown where you can visit the first permanent

English settlement, see where Pocahontas met Capt. John Smith,

and a history book’s worth of our country’s story.

There’s a big world to see, just hours from here. Washington,

D.C., North Carolina’s Outer Banks and a world of American history

are all within driving distance and well worth the trip. Or head

south to the Outer Banks for more sun and sand, and stops

such as the Kitty Hawk site where the Wright Brothers flew

the world’s first powered airplane. Even enjoy Kite Surfing for a

flight experience of your own.Washington, D.C.
