Living in Suffolk Virginia Pros and Cons

Do you want to know all about the pros and cons of living in Suffolk, Virginia? Looking to move to Suffolk and trying to decide what the best reasons to move here or not to move here are? In this video I go into all of the pros and cons of Suffolk as well as describe the multiple areas of Suffolk that there are (each area offers different things), and there are pros and cons to each. So I break down each area as well, give real estate information, school info, neighborhood/job info, and try my very best to give you a good idea of what to expect if you plan on moving to Suffolk, Virginia, and buying real estate in Suffolk, too.

    Hi. I work as an Amazon delivery driver and my route is in Suffolk. (I live in Norfolk) My route mainly brings me to the downtown area but I have some country streets I deliver to (Pitchfork Road, Murphy's Mill Road). I love it so much in Suffolk that I'm thinking of moving there. I LOVE the quiet country neighborhoods, the huge older houses, the horses, the deer, and just the over all vibe of Suffolk.

    Hi, i'm thinking of buying a house in the downtown historic district just half a block from main street. Do you know if that's a high crime area? Lots of nice historic homes and right by Truitt house.

    Used to be called Nansemond County. My father was the chef at Cedar Point Country Club (1967 to 1972), which was in Crittenden. Now it is all Suffolk. We lived in Portsmouth (Quince Rd) and later Silverwood subdivision in Western Branch at the time. Remember when James River Bridge was two lanes.

    To be a real estate agent I don't know how you could have been any more wrong in calling suffolk the largest city (by land mass) in the state of virginia, being born and raised right on the Portsmouth Chesapeake line, Chesapeake has always prided itself at being the largest city in the state of VA !

    The real con about living in downtown Suffolk is the trains and the traffic. The area is booming with new homes and the roads can't handle the new traffic . God forbid if the accident ouccers in downtown Suffolk you are stuck in a parking lot of traffic , route 58 is the same way . It happens everyday . Give me country living anyday . Harbor view traffic is even worse when people get off work
