    "I love living in Poquoson. We live next to the park which is great for watching fireworks, walking the dogs, and watching the soccer games. This city is a hidden gem that not many people know about. It is slowly growing, but it is a wonderful, quiet town. "

    "Dog walkers are frequently seen in our neighborhood. People are friendly and stop to talk to neighbors if they see them out in their yards or on the porch. This is a nice community. There are rumors that you have to be born here to be accepted but that’s ridiculous. We are a military family who moved into the area years ago and it’s been lovely. "

    "This is one of the safest communities in Virginia and features excellent schools, friendly neighbors and wonderful access to the water. The commute to the base is under 15 minutes, even with traffic. And all is the conveniences you’d find in the city are available with a short drive. Mall, home improvement stores, all of the restaurant choices, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, movie theaters, Target, etc. we absolutely love living in Poquoson and plan to retire here someday. "

    "Poquoson seafood festival is the big local event but there are dozens of smaller things that go on during the year too. Every holiday involves community activity like the boat parade, community Christmas events, Memorial Day festivities and Halloween is a big thing too. We love the small town atmosphere with the proximity to city conveniences. A very warm and welcoming community. "
