My husband is also going to VP-30.
Avondale - does anyone know the zip code? to filter in rental searches? It sounds like an interesting area. Is it comparable to Ghent in Norfolk?
JBM - We're looking at Lighthouse at Fleming Island.
www.lighthousect.com Flexible lease terms, with varying rent rates dependent on the length of your lease agreement. I believe Webmaster? resided there.. gave me an excellent personal recommendation on another thread.
We have children, so school district vs. commute for husband.. Trying to find a balance! There's virtual tours on the website, and you can secure your unit (down to the address..) online. Including, submitting your application and paying your deposits. I'm not a fan of sight unseen, but fortunately, have networked with a friend who is now down there in Eagle Harbor and willing to help preview for us. Husband is deployed and receives his house hunting upon return = days before transfer.
