you should live here.......The Lagomar neighborhood in Virginia Beach continues to be a sought out area for real estate. I make the southeast section of Virginia Beach my home for many reasons. 
Why:
1. Great school system with Kellam and Ocean Lakes High Schools, Princess Anne Middle (great school, I know my son attends), and Redmill elementary.
2. Near two of the finest beaches on the East Coast, the resort area (Croatan and North End), and Sandbridge. Fine real estate adjacent to all these neighborhoods.
3. Minutes to many golf courses including Hell's Pt, Heron Ridge, the Signature, and Virginia Beach National. All offer golf course homes except Virginia Beach National.
4. Minutes to shopping at Red Mill Commons. (Walmart, Starbucks, Panera, Outback, Chili's, Havana's, Inlet Fitness, and much more).
5. Moderately priced and upscale homes - some with deepwater access.
6. And 99 more Virginia Beach reasons here. Compare previous Lagomar real estate reports Current active real estate in Lagomar as of this post date:

Do The Best Virginia Beach, VA Schools Influence Real Estate Buying Decisions?
Other Virginia Beach Real Estate Neighborhood Profiles
Question for real estate owners: Would you Mr. and Mrs. Buyer purchase a home with asbestos that is "friable" or not properly wrapped on pipes?
I am not really sure that seller's in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk, and other Hampton Roads communities understand the potential danger and "fear" that buyers may have when considering homes that have asbestos especially those where it has deteriorated and become potentially "airborne".
"Friable Asbestos" can be defined as: When asbestos is crushed it disperses a dusting of microscopic fibers in the air that can remain for very long periods of time. These fibers can be unknowingly inhaled and permanently lodged in lung and other body tissues, yet symptoms might not appear for 20 years or more. Inhaling the fibers has been linked to cancer and asbestosis, a chronic lung disease similar in symptoms to emphysema. Unfortunately there is no known safe level of exposure, which is why asbestos remains a concern today.
Homeowners considering removing asbestos themselves may want to read the cautionary and directions provided by the EPA - most likely you will then be educated and hire a professional certified in this type of work.
As a new real estate homeowner or potential seller, it is not likely that you are acquainted with the inner materials of a home.
However, most Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Hampton Roads buyers seek an updated home inspection before closing on a new property.
It is important to reassure buyers that the home is safe and does not contain any potential health hazards. These inspections are critical to clearing hurdles down the road that may slow the sale of property.
One of the most common surprises new homeowners and sellers confront is asbestos in older structures.
Indeed, asbestos containing materials (ACMs) are now banned for use in the United States but many older buildings still contain these products, which are generally safe, but homeowners should be aware of where they are and when they become hazardous.
Asbestos was included in thousands of construction products and still exists in nearly 80% of homes built prior to 1978.
Common asbestos materials include attic insulation, ceiling tiles, and pipe lining.
Asbestos was particularly adept at insulation and prevention of temperature transfer and was used extensively until adverse health effects began to manifest in those who worked with the material frequently.
It is only when asbestos containing materials are compromised or very old that they become hazardous.
Asbestos products under these conditions are rendered “friable.” Home inspection companies should be able to identify these circumstances and advise you on a course of action. When asbestos material is friable, asbestos fibers can be released into the air, potentially endangering those in the area.
Inhaled asbestos fibers lodge in the body’s inner tissue and have been conclusively linked to the rare cancer, mesothelioma, commonly referred to as asbestos cancer, in addition to many other respiratory disorders.
There are few options for mesothelioma treatment or curative therapies for other conditions caused by sustained asbestos exposures. Homeowners need to be aware of potential hazards that may exist so they may be able to avoid potentially harmful effects of hazardous asbestos.
Again, most asbestos containing materials will not pose an immediate hazard and an informed buyer will not be turned off by their presence if they’re reassured of their safety by a professional opinion.
These simple precautions can be taken to assure that both sides know that they and their families will be happy and healthy in their new home.

What are the 3 most famous words in Virginia Beach Real Estate - location, location, location and the Sanctuary Condos at Sandbridge are no exception for the long range real estate believer. 
Sandbridge is populated with hundreds of detached homes that flank both the Atlantic ocean and the Back Bay.
Although Sandbridge is isolated from most of the urban sprawl, it is close to shopping at Red Mill Commons, numerous restaurants, and one of the most sought out school districts (Kellam) in the city of Virginia Beach.
Mostly rentals, but some locals live year round what continues to be "the best kept real estate secret in Virginia Beach and Southeast Virginia".
The condos at the Sanctuary number over 200 units with many being rental properties during the summer. The setting for this development is more like a resort than condo building. The peaceful ocean just minutes from your door is unequalled.
Many of these condos were purchased during the Virginia Beach real estate boom. Prices have decreased and bargains are available.
More Sanctuary sellers will enter the market needing to sell. When the market settles out, the Sanctuary will be a great place to own a condo as future building for this type of dwelling will be limited to non existent in the Sandbridge area.
Condo fees are $440 and more monthly. Current active Sandbridge listings include the following: (you can view all active sandbridge real estate here)
