Creating a Military Homestead in Hampton Roads
Military members can feel connected to a Hampton Roads property. This area is an ideal place to establish a homestead. The U.S. military has a very strong presence in this region so it makes sense that there are many service members who make their home here. The U.S. Navy controls Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Naval Station Norfolk, Naval Air Station Oceana, Naval Weapons Station Yorktown and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek- Fort Story. The U.S. Air Force controls Joint Base Langley-Eustis. The U.S. Marine Corps has Camp Allen. The Department of Defense has Camp Peary. The Coast Guard has the U.S. Coast Guard Finance Center and Coast Guard Sector Hampton Roads.
Just about everyone knows what a home is but what is a homestead? According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a homestead is “the home and adjoining land occupied by a family,” but can also mean “an ancestral home,” as well. While ancestral homes are not the norm of today, homes and land are more easily located, especially in Hampton Roads. Anyone, regardless of how often they deploy because of military service is entitled to their own residence and in some cases, this may mean purchasing property.
Being part of the U.S. military is an honorable profession but it can take a toll on both service members and their families. One way to make the most of togetherness time is to create a homestead- a place to unwind where happiness and love are commonplace. Buying property in Hampton Roads helps children of service members to establish a home base. Spouses can also thrive in neighborhoods where they have caring neighbors who understand the sacrifice that a loved one must make. Knowing that families are safe and sound in secure houses is at least one less thing to worry about when it is time to ship out. When service members deploy, they carry not just the memories of their families with them but also memories of their homes as well.
