Popular Hickory schools draw in new residents
Pleasant Grove West falls under the Chesapeake Public School District. “People move here to find houses that are cheaper than those in Hickory but still sit close to Hickory schools,” Xenos says. Hickory Elementary gets students engaged with the community through a variety of volunteer events. Students continue their education at Hickory Middle. Kids might join the softball team, boys' volleyball team or the Harry Potter Club. When it’s time for high school, Hickory High has a championship-winning marching band and job fairs to push students toward a bright future. Those who live closer to downtown Chesapeake often send their young children to Grassfield Elementary. Kids learn with small group projects that bring classmates and teachers together. Hugo A. Owens Middle is the natural next step for residents and features a popular drama club and band. Students interested in STEM thrive at Grassfield High by enrolling in the Governor’s STEM Academy. This program gives students specialized STEM classes every year of high school. All of these schools receive a rating of B-plus or higher from Niche.

Catching a Buffalo Bills game at The Dirty Buffalo
The Edinburgh West and Edinburgh North Shopping Centers make shopping simple. Shoppers exit off the expressway to get essentials at Target or Walmart. Residents who live closer to Dominion Boulevard visit the Walmart in Dominion Commons. Popular chain restaurants also sit along the expressway, but residents flock to family-owned restaurants like the Gran Rodeo Mexican Bar and Grill for lunch and dinner. Happy hour isn’t complete without one of their signature cocktails. The Dirty Buffalo, off Dominion Boulevard, offers a more laid-back atmosphere. Customers can catch a Buffalo Bills game while enjoying wings coated in a spicy sauce or smokey rub.

Fresh treats and fun at Greenbriar Farm
For holiday fun, “Locals visit Greenbriar Farms throughout the year. It’s a cute place with fun activities and a nice restaurant,” Xeno says. Visitors can pick out their Christmas tree in the winter, choose plump pumpkins in the fall or fill a basket with handpicked strawberries in the summer. When guests need to refuel after spending time on the farm, The Hive Farm Bar and Grill has outdoor seating and a menu stuffed with sticky honey buns, pulled pork sandwiches and jack honey whiskey lemonades. Future pilots and aviation enthusiasts frequent the Chesapeake Regional Airport. This airport has a flight center to train new pilots and offers private commercial flights. Chapter 339, a group of aircraft builders and pilots, also meets here for social meetings, seminars and educational programs.
