It's gotten nicer than when I used to live there but it's still not a real downtown. It suits it to call it Town Center. I'm just sad that the oceanfront no cursing signs were removed. That was such a classic for photos!
I personally love what they have done to the area. Virginia Beach is not an urban city so of course you cannot compare it to NYC, DC or Philadelphia. I wish they would build more condos in the town center other than the Westin and Studio 56 which are small loft apartments.
I live in the Aragona area. Lots of houses around here for sale right now. Not too bad an area, but nothing fancy. 5-10 minute drive to Town Center, depending on the traffic and whether or not you know the shortcuts.
It’s ok to just say “Town Center” dude, because that’s what it is, the center of town. It is not downtown, and it is not uptown or midtown. It is simply “town center.”
I always found the town center to look so tacky. Like you have one Skyscraper which is like a an expensive apartment building then everything else is lower high rise buildings. It’s like a knock off manhattan and Atlanta.
Virginia Beach is a fairly new city with most of the développement being after the 50’s. Norfolk/Portsmouth or Newport News/Hampton have much more historic homes and buildings than VA Beach.
No cost to park in the parking garages in Town Center. There are 5 parking garages total and you only have to worry about parking in restricted spots or spots with a time limit. It is cool because almost each block of town center has a parking garage in the middle of it.
Downtown is so laughable because where is downtown??? To me it’s just a small itty bitty portion of Crystal city in Arlington and the rest is just suburban style shopping centers lol.

Those of us who love there do call it downtown too...

Estupenda información! Gracias
Virginia Beach is so random. I moved here 2 years ago I can’t find a nice area I want to stay.
Every city in the country, downtown is where the courthouse is, maybe one day they'll figure it out
Is nandos open yet?

Are there any neighborhoods in the Virginia Beach area that have a small town or historic feel?
Virginia Beach is a fairly new city with most of the développement being after the 50’s. Norfolk/Portsmouth or Newport News/Hampton have much more historic homes and buildings than VA Beach.
No. You have to go further out for that. Smithfield, Suffolk, Petersburg, Elizabeth City North Carolina.
New drinking game: take a shot everytime he says "Virginia Beach".
All jokes aside, props to you man. Great video!
What town center?
parts of the town center were homeless camps 20-25 years ago.
I remember when “downtown” was nothing but trees. Come a long way.
@sam sansalone Thalia is pronounced "Dal-ya"...
What if I wanna live on the waterfront?
$500k to a million will get you there.
@@dzl8596 Sadly, I don't have that much money.
Hows the parking ? N cost to park?

Name a metropolitan town that doesn' have traffic congestion. Maybe in Montana or Wyoming?
are there any apartments?
Not IN Town Center. Too trendy for that. You have to look a few miles away.
Yes they are pricey Premier and Encore are 2. Sometimes people rent their condos in the Westin bldg.
What zip code is this
23462, i believe.
Virginia Beach doesn't have a downtown. Town center is not a real downtown.
Not for me.
Downtown is so laughable because where is downtown??? To me it’s just a small itty bitty portion of Crystal city in Arlington and the rest is just suburban style shopping centers lol.
We r a very conservative family... is this area pro lgbt?
Thanks and I would like to say your video is so cool.
