Did you know this about the 757? 🚢

In February 2026, Norfolk Harbor’s commercial shipping channel reached 55 feet deep, making the Port of Virginia home to the deepest commercial shipping channel on the U.S. East Coast. The wider channel also allows two-way movement of ultra-large container vessels.

And on land, Hampton Roads’ bridges and bridge-tunnels help connect communities across the region every day.

There’s a lot happening behind the scenes to keep Hampton Roads moving.

What part of the 757 should we explain next? 👇

The Hampton Roads commute can look very different depending on the route and time of day.

For this drive toward NAS Oceana, the trip was about 34 minutes. Traffic can vary, so this is one real-route example—not a guaranteed commute time.

Your mortgage payment isn’t always your entire monthly housing cost. 🏡

If you’re buying a home in Virginia Beach or Hampton Roads, your budget may also need to account for property taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA or condo fees, flood insurance when applicable, maintenance, and cash reserves.

In this example, a $400,000 home with 20% down uses an illustrative 6.5% rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage to show how those expenses can add up beyond principal and interest.

The takeaway: when deciding how much home you can comfortably budget for, look at the full monthly housing picture, not just the mortgage.

Actual rates, insurance costs, taxes, fees, and loan terms vary. VA and other loan programs may also have different rates, down-payment requirements, and costs.
