Home Sales and Rentals

Homes for sale are usually plentiful in Hampton Roads and relatively reasonable when compared to high cost areas like California or Washington, DC. However, the demand for rentals units is quiet high, and the vacancy rate is low. Costs for rental units during the summer months may be very high near the resort areas because of the tourist season. Average apartment rentals can range from $600 for an unfurnished one-bedroom unit to over $1,000 for an unfurnished four-bedroom unit. Housing costs may be lower on the Peninsula. A useful website to start your search is http://realestate.hamptonroads.com/apartments/ or http://realestate.hamptonroads.com/.

Rental Partnership Program

Contact the Southside Hampton Roads Welcome Center for more information, including information about the Rental Partnership program. RPP contains properties designated for Military Personnel at reduced rates. Rent must be paid by allotment.

Landlord Tenant Acts and Military Clauses

The Acts and clauses in leases may vary from state to state. As a result, local security deposits may be more than you are expecting. Even when you receive orders, landlords can require 30 days notice.
