With a population of almost 150,000 residents, you're sure to have a number of neighborhoods to choose from if you're moving to Hampton. Some will look just like those that you would see if you were buying Ajax homes for sale or property in hundreds of towns throughout the country while others are really more unique to just this side of Virginia. There are also some surrounding towns and communities that might be great choices for those who don't mind a little commute. Here are some of the major neighborhoods that you will find in Hampton.

Just north of Fort Monroe at Chesapeake Bay you will find the community of Buckroe Beach. This section of the city is known as one of the oldest recreational areas within the whole state and has been the ideal place to live for thousands of people since the beginning of the 17th century. This includes people who have lived in the city all their life and Burlington new home builders looking for a winter retreat. There are currently about two thousand people living in this neighborhood alongside attractions like the pier and the early 20th century carousel.

Pheobus used to be a town of its own but chose to consolidate with Hampton in 1952. This neighborhood is now known as a historic district, including sites like the Chamberlin Hotel and the American Theatre. It is also going through a revitalization that will bring together the best of the old and the new. If you're coming from the country, like Stouffville homes for sale or from downtown Manhattan you will be able to feel at home here.

Olde Wythe is along the water and is actually the oldest community in the entire country that has always been populated by English-speaking residents. It is now home to about 1600 families, some coming from Toronto condos and lofts and others commuting into Norfolk for work every day. They even have a neighborhood association that organizers a number of events throughout the year for residents and visitors alike. These include the Olde Wythe Fall Festival and ice cream socials in the summer.

Aberdeen Gardens started out in the 1930s as a settlement for African American people living in the area who wanted a community of their own. It is now known as a historic district within the city and has its own community centre, school, and a little over 150 homes. While this may be one of the smaller neighborhoods in Hampton, it certainly has a lot to offer for those looking for a first home to those coming in from Mississauga real estate. And if you're looking for something different there is certainly something for you in Hampton.
