Evolving community near historic NASA and Air Force headquarters
Hampton Roads Center is a sprawling but segmented community, stretched across long, rural stretches along forest-lined highways. Logo-marked facility signs that pop up along the road help explain the ongoing pull to this pocket of Hampton, if the jets flying overhead aren’t enough of a hint. “I’d say the primary reason people live there is Langley Air Force Base, secondary would be NASA. And there’s a new facility built in the last few years building uncrewed submarines,” says Greg Garrett, founder and CEO of Garrett Realty Partners who has more than 40 years of experience in the Hampton Roads region. “NASA Langley Research Center is NASA’s first-ever facility, and Langley Air Force Base is growing. That's the headquarters for Air Combat Command for all the Air Force.” There’s a lot of history and ongoing industry in and around Hampton Roads Center, a point of pride for locals. Today, as NASA’s missions probe ever deeper into outer space and the aircraft taking off from Langley-Fort Eustis grow faster and sleeker, those living military and scientific legacies at the edges of Hampton Roads Center remain the backbone of the communities at its core. The service members and civilians enjoying life in the surrounding suburbs, school systems and fan-jammed speedway stands make Hampton Roads Center more than just the empty fields and forests below Air Force flight paths.
Hampton Roads Center is a short commute to Langly AFB or NASA Research Center.

Ford Foundation partnerships at Hampton schools
The area’s size means students can attend several pipelines of Hampton City Schools. Kids might attend prekindergarten through eighth grade at George P. Phenix Elementary, which earns a B-plus from Niche, followed by B-rated Bethel High. Regardless of school zoning, kids in Hampton City Schools will be part of a district that has taken academic revitalization seriously. “The Hampton City high schools reinvented themselves as the Academies of Hampton. It’s done with the Ford Foundation – they've adopted several school systems, but Hampton is off the charts. They’ve achieved 100% accreditation of all the schools in the district, no exceptions,” Garrett says. The aim of the district’s high school academies is to start older students on structured career paths through the development of specialized career skills.
George P. Phenix Middle School has over 1,500 students in Hampton.
Bethel High School receives an overall score of B- on Niche.

Consulting Langley AICUZ maps
People moving around Hampton Roads know to check their local Air Installations Compatible Use Zones maps to see if nearby military bases are going to be sources of noise pollution. The air traffic around Langley Airforce Base means there are areas in Hampton Roads Center that get a little loud. “It’s infrequent jet noise that, locally, we call the, ‘sound of freedom.’ It’s inconvenient to a small degree, but not nearly as bad as near Oceana. A lot of runways go over vacant land or water and that’s on purpose,” Garrett says.
