Best neighborhoods to rent in Newport News?
Been meaning to ask this. Thoughts? I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

Bought a house here in 2020 and there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem tough.
I've been here 5 years and I love the pace of life here. The thing nobody mentions is outdoor recreation. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the community vibe is legit. And if you're into golfing, this place is average.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Highland side vs the East side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Feel free to reach out with questions..

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 12 years ago from Minneapolis and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 1-bed in Westside. It's solid for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in engineering. If you're in construction you might struggle.
People: Generally underrated. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: pretty good. Tons of options if you like Southern.
No regrets on my end..
