The best of both worlds in Virginia Beach
When you think of Virginia Beach, Virginia, what comes to mind might be a resort city bustling with sunbaked tourists. But Virginia Beach’s quiet farmland community known as Pungo, tucked between North Bay and the North Landing River, is a whole different kettle of fish. “Pungo is unique because it’s a rural area where you can get a large parcel of land in the city of Virginia Beach,” says John Fox, a lifelong Virginia Beach resident, the Student Activities Administrator for Virginia Beach Middle School and a licensed real estate agent. “You can get the best of two worlds in Pungo: a farm type of living with a city type of living just minutes away. You can go strawberry picking on a farm in Pungo and then go shopping only two miles down the road.”
Traditional, coastal colonial and modern farmhouse styles

It’s also the smallest in the city, so you get a real family feel.”
