I was trying to search for maybe a flood map, but no luck. I'm thinking about maybe just buying a house in Virginia Beach that's closer to Norfolk. My fiance works in the Naval base so traffic is horribe coming from Suffolk area. Please help.

Answer 1 :
That whole area is less than 20 ft above sea level. You might find a home on higher ground or mound of earth, but those would be rare. Shop around is the best advice I can give you. You might find a home on higher ground, but not if a good neighborhood. You might find a home but can't afford it. There seems to always be something that you'll have to compromise on when looking for a home. I lived in that area for 3 years during the early 1980s. We had a very difficult time finding housing we could afford in a good, clean, safe neighborhood. Most of what we looked at that time were close to being tenement type housing. I think that if you stay away from the James River and ocean and the bay, you'll probably reduce your chance of storm flooding.
