I moved here last summer and LOVE it. Our youngest graduated from a better school district in Chesapeake, so we decided to mover to Ocean View. You really downplayed all the cool restaurants and breweries here: The World of Good, Jessy's Taqueria, Bold Mariner Brewery, Cova Brewery....
Quite a contrast from the 90s when I got stuck (stationed) here. It's a night and day difference from 30 years ago, but there still isn't anything there to do. All residential and still pockets of crime in different areas.
My husband and I moved here in 2016. I have learned more about the Hampton Roads area from your videos than anyone else and exploring on my own. ( It’s been hard with my schedule ). Thank you.
I used to live right across little creek rd from Ocean View behind the Food Lion almost 20 years ago. At that time they were just starting to try to improve the area. There were only a couple beach houses/condo's starting to be built. At that time the whole Ocean View area was a ghetto....a really bad place especially at night. Thinking about making a trip down there in the next few months. I'm interested in seeing how different it is.
When I was stationed in NAS Norfolk in the 80's Oceanview was nothing but Bars, ALL the way down to Little Creek! Bars, Strip Clubs, Cheap Hotels, A Sailors Paradise!
Great job Sam. My dad returned from Nam in '72 & we got stationed @ Langley AFB there in Hampton. I graduated '74 from Bethel H.S. & lived in Tide Mill off Armistead Ave. It was a short walk to the Hampton Coliseum where I saw Allman Bros when Duane was alive for $6.50 also front row for Dark Side of the Moon by you know who~! I worked at Busch Gardens Williamsburg the first 2 years they opened including the Bicentennial year before I took off surfing to Cape Hatteras then got offered a job. OBX living year round 7 years beats the 3 years I lived in Hawaii. My parents are from Petersburg, Va & I was living there while dad served in Nam. Before I took off the Las Vegas, San Antonio, Tx, Jacksonville, Fla, St Louis, Ill, back to Texas then to Shreveport, La, I had the chance & honor to take part in the Historical Restoration of Sherwood Forest Plantation belonging to ex-President John Tyler on historical route 5. Historical Restorations became my career alongside being a international chef on the Riverwalk of San Antonio & my dream job of being a radio & also a dancing/nightclub/strip club DJ. Which brings me to really enjoying your channel here now that I'm back in Richmond/Henrico County. I am going to watch a few more of your videos & relax. Be kind & stay safe~!
I was there this weekend. Discovered this town by accident while looking for rte 64. Love that it's really close to VA Beach yet has it's own beach. I LOVED the beach town feel and cottage like homes. I was definitely worried about it being a flood zone/flood insurance
Yeah, I hear you. The flood zone situation is one of the more concerning things people find that cause them to live elsewhere. Glad you like it, though! Cool that you stumbled on Ocean View.
I lived there for a few years . It was affordable then, and had a worse rep than it deserved. I walked to the beach and went jogging . Loved it. The Amusement Park was part of my childhood. The Rollercoaster was awesome! If I could move back to Norfolk again, I’d try to live there. Since I lived there in the 80’s, most of those new expensive houses have been built.
was stationed there in the 85 to 88 years,,,the bay streets 19th 21st all beat up houses there at the time and I remember a pawn shop called sandfiddler used to be a wooden rollercoaster there too
Hi Sam, I was wondering if you could let me know how I can get in touch with someone who is selling their home as a distress property and will also finance it with me. I live in Oceanview and was wondering if you could give me some info on this subject. Thanks.
I moved to E. Ocean View from CT, signed a lease site unseen. I loved it. Was a cute 1 bedroom apartment right on the beach. Perfect for me and my husband at the time. We got married at the beach down the road and I fell in love with the neighborhood. This was 14 years ago but I’ve been wanting to go back and show my son the first house he came home to. I just googled my old apartment and it’s still there, we only paid $650mo for a beachfront place. I wonder what the rent is now.
Ocean view is ugly as hell bro , Norfolk in general is ugly . Bums and whatnot and Judy Boone basically owns it . Stay away in my opinion Williamsburg or Yorktown would be better .
Williamsburg and Yorktown is not better than Norfolk or the seven cities area I don't know why y'all are up here spreading this information there's nothing to do in Williamsburg New York town but I can see it's clearly that you're a white person who has an affinity for the woods so maybe those are a better area for you but for most people that wouldn't be a good area for them so stop posting stuff about it did you see what ocean view look like before Judy Boone started to renovate apparently you didn't or you wouldn't have said what you said I'm actually from Norfolk Virginia born and raised
@@adonishawthorne2450 it’s funny how you would bring up race lmao I’m far from white tho and I’ve lived in Norfolk most of my life . Norview area actually and it’s ugly as hell . Before Judy Boone it was uglier yea but it’s still not great . How is Williamsburg boring tho , lmao I find this hilarious I don’t even live in the woods 😂.
@@Callmeknee I said what I said because it's not a whole lot of people who live in Williamsburg or Yorktown most of the people who like those areas happen to be white and that's why I said what I said the norview areas ugly is it did they not gentrify that area years ago are you really from Norfolk
@@adonishawthorne2450 they started buying some of the homes but have you rode down Any street across from norview elem. or high . Or down military highway before the airport, it’s hideous. When was the last time you came to Williamsburg lemme guess , your 5th grade trip to James town lol . Bruh there is plenty to do here . Anyone who grows up in Norfolk moves away lol no one stays and is proud to be there , maybe proud to have come FROM there and is happy where they are now . I’ve never met anyone like “I’m from Norfolk born and raised and still here” lmao

I love living in Ocean View. I've been in the area for 2 years and am looking to stay long term.
Quite a contrast from the 90s when I got stuck (stationed) here. It's a night and day difference from 30 years ago, but there still isn't anything there to do. All residential and still pockets of crime in different areas.
You do a really great job explaining the area. I'm local and learn a lot from you.
Thank you! Love it!! I'm happy that you enjoy the vids. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
I grew up in the area. Always want a house in ocean view when I was younger.
My husband and I moved here in 2016. I have learned more about the Hampton Roads area from your videos than anyone else and exploring on my own. ( It’s been hard with my schedule ). Thank you.
That's so great!! Welcome to the area - if you have any specific questions feel free to reach out.
Sam Sansalone I will thank you!!!

So far I think this is my favorite area.
I really like Ocean View for the price. There are drawbacks as hopefully I properly outlined in the video, but there's nice value to be had here.
Great job Sam.

Hey thanks for making this!
You're very welcome and thanks for watching!!
I lived on Ocean View Ave for 5 years and I loved it. ❤️
Great!

I was considering starting an air bnb here, wondering if it would be profitable 🤔

Awesome videos. Can u make a video about Yorktown pls?
Yes! Thanks for this - so far I've only done one about Yorktown Beach, but that will most definitely change soon!
You are correct. Pinewell rocks!
East ocean view was the hood when I lived there in the 90s
Why is it called ‘Ocean View’ when it’s on the Chesapeake Bay?
Hi Sam, I was wondering if you could let me know how I can get in touch with someone who is selling their home as a distress property and will also finance it with me. I live in Oceanview and was wondering if you could give me some info on this subject. Thanks.
Ocean View was the place to go when the amusement park was there . Once the amusement park was gone we never went back.
I moved to E. Ocean View from CT, signed a lease site unseen. I loved it. Was a cute 1 bedroom apartment right on the beach. Perfect for me and my husband at the time. We got married at the beach down the road and I fell in love with the neighborhood. This was 14 years ago but I’ve been wanting to go back and show my son the first house he came home to.

That's is the cutest story ✨.
Omg where do I move to there? Help!
Are all the beaches in Norfolk connected
in the 80s it was known as ocean "ZOO" lol the parties i used to go to...well dont remember actually so that tells you what kinda parties i went too
Hahaha, I'm picking up what you're putting down 😂
@@samsansalone i was thinking of moving to the ZOO and mabe have few "chil'rins" are the schools that bad there??
Technically, the view isn’t the Ocean.. it’s really the Chesapeake Bay. And there is no place on Bayview Blvd where the Bay can be viewed🤣
First boomer to comment they rode the Rocket rollercoaster :-)
HA! How was it?
Makes no sense to buy a big fancy house right up close to your neighbor. I rather have a tiny house on a larger lot.
That bar suxs the banque

@@adonishawthorne2450 what is there to do in Norfolk or ov besides leave and go to another city . I know va beach is where everyone goes.
Paid 300k over 7 years ago and can now sell for over 600k (that price is with a 20% hit to the market when it crashes). Happy with the investment.
