We are located in beautiful Coastal Virginia in the Hampton Roads area where there’s much to see and do year-round. The weather is beautiful with a climate that truly experiences the four seasons. Joint-Base Langley-Eustis is located on a peninsula, surrounded by the James & York Rivers, as well as the Chesapeake Bay. Those that like the outdoors will have their fill of fishing and watersports. You can find exhilarating skiing and hiking in Appalachia and beach getaways to Virginia Beach and the Outer Banks within a two-hour drive. History abounds in the colonial area of Williamsburg and the National Parks at Yorktown Battlefield (site of the British surrender to conclude the war for Independence) and Jamestown Settlement (site of the first settlement in the United States). The state’s capital, Richmond, and Norfolk both provide big city amenities like concerts, shows, and international airports within an hour. With many military installations (Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Army, and Air Force) in a dense geographic area, the economy is resilient and growing. Many retiring military members choose to make Hampton Roads their forever home.
