[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When house hunting please be thoughtful about the potential for flooding. Both Norfolk and VB have particular areas prone to flooding in a Nor'easter storm or a hurricane. One would want to avoid that.

In VB the so-called Pungo Ridge runs from N Great Neck to the south. Those houses generally are safest from flooding. The only place in VB higher than the Pungo Ridge is Mt Trashmore, which is man made. [/quote]

Would the area near CHC be safe? [/quote]

Most of that area is very safe. However, look carefully at any waterfront properties. Many of the waterfront properties along that corridor are only slightly above the high tide water level.

If the land is only 2-3 feet above the high tide water level, it might well flood in a storm. If it is 10+ feet above the water level, then it should be fine.  If waterfront, also look at the condition of the bulkhead (if any). Bulkhead replacement can cost substantial sums and might (not sure) also require a Chesapeake Bay Act evaluation.
