    "I think there are more dogs and less children around here. So if you prefer dogs to humans this is a nice area. "

    "A car, bus pass, or willingness to Uber is pretty much a must. the closest full grocery store is about two miles from the gate. you may be able to get by with a bike."

    "Simple, move to poqouson or Lee Hall area of newport news. Hampton is not a complete melting pot, the city is definitely on an uprise for not only businesses but housing. I suspect in 10 years Hampton Central will be a thriving community of civil people. "

    "The neighborhood is nice and right next to Langley Air Force Base. I've seen a few deer here and there but not many wild animals over here. There is no store in walking distance other than a nearby gas station. Otherwise the neighborhood is very friendly and comfortable."

    "It is walking distance to a creek with deep water access, Air Power Park is in walking distance. It’s a short bike ride to beautiful Ft Monroe. We can walk to churches, grocery stores, retail shopping, restaurants, yet still retain a friendly neighborhood suburban environment."

    "The Riverdale/Windsor Terrace community has been a prized neighborhood in the city of Hampton for years among families and retirees. The proximity of the community to Langley Airbase, NASA Langley, and at the center of over 4 key military installations in the region has made it a favorite of military and civil services personnel for many years. The neighborhood is also less than a mile from the Coliseum Central business district filled with shops and continually improving commercial developments. The community is one of the safest in the region and boasts access to top performing magnet and public schools. This is truly a great neighborhood to start out or return to and would be a great place to live, work, and play."
