For those searching for modern apartments in a well-connected neighborhood, The Apartments at Spence Crossing put all of Virginia Beach’s best features right at your doorstep. Before you sign your next lease, here’s why Virginia Beach deserves the top spot on your rental list.

Coastal Living at Its Best

There’s nothing quite like living near the water, and Virginia Beach makes coastal living accessible to renters year-round. Miles of sandy shoreline offer endless opportunities for weekend relaxation, whether you’re swimming, sunbathing, or simply enjoying a morning jog along the Oceanfront. Beyond the beach, residents enjoy kayaking on the Lynnhaven River, hiking at First Landing State Park, or exploring the trails and green spaces scattered throughout the city. This connection to the outdoors is a major perk of renting in Virginia Beach—you don’t have to sacrifice convenience to enjoy the beauty of nature.

At Spence Crossing, you’ll be perfectly positioned to experience this lifestyle. The community’s location offers quick access to the beach while giving residents a peaceful retreat to come home to, making it easy to balance coastal adventure with everyday comfort.

A City with Endless Things to Do

Renting in Virginia Beach means you’re never far from something exciting. The city is home to a diverse mix of entertainment, from the bustling Virginia Beach Town Center with its restaurants and live music to family-friendly attractions like the Virginia Aquarium and Adventure Park. On weekends, you can catch a concert at the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater or stroll the Oceanfront boardwalk for festivals, art shows, and open-air dining. There’s a balance here that appeals to both energetic young professionals wanting a night on the town, or families looking for wholesome fun.

For Spence Crossing residents, this variety is right within reach. With the community’s central location, you can enjoy a quiet night in or head out for a full evening of entertainment without spending hours in traffic. Living here means having Virginia Beach’s vibrant lifestyle at your fingertips.

Strong Job Market & Military Presence

Another reason Virginia Beach consistently ranks as one of the best places to rent in Coastal Virginia is its reliable job market. The city benefits from a diverse economy that includes tourism, healthcare, education, and technology, offering opportunities across many career paths. In addition, Virginia Beach is home to several major military bases, including Naval Air Station Oceana and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story. This strong military presence not only provides employment opportunities but also fosters a sense of stability and community throughout the region.

For renters, this means Virginia Beach is more than just a fun place to live—it’s also a smart choice for building a career or supporting a family. Residents at Spence Crossing enjoy the convenience of living close to major employers and bases, all while having a peaceful retreat to return to at the end of the day.

Variety of Neighborhoods & Communities

One of the biggest advantages of renting in Virginia Beach is the variety of neighborhoods to choose from. For those who love being in the center of it all, the Oceanfront offers nonstop energy, nightlife, and beachside living. If you prefer something quieter, suburban areas provide more space, easy access to schools, and a calmer pace. There are also up-and-coming spots with trendy restaurants and shopping, giving renters plenty of lifestyle choices.

Spence Crossing strikes the ideal balance between convenience and comfort. Located in a well-connected part of Virginia Beach, it gives residents quick access to popular destinations without sacrificing peace and quiet at home. It’s the kind of community that makes you feel plugged into the best of the city while still offering a neighborhood you’ll love coming back to.

Modern Apartment Options in Virginia Beach

Virginia Beach renters don’t just want four walls—they’re looking for communities that offer convenience, comfort, and a modern lifestyle. Newer apartment communities stand out because they come with features designed for today’s renter, like open floor plans, in-unit laundry, and energy-efficient appliances. Resident perks and amenities such as a resort-style pool, fitness centers, and resident lounges turn an apartment into more than just a place to sleep—it becomes a home base for daily living.

That’s exactly what you’ll find at Spence Crossing. With thoughtfully designed floor plans, stylish interiors, and community spaces that bring people together, it sets the standard for modern apartment living in Virginia Beach. Renting here means you’re not just choosing a home—you’re choosing a lifestyle that makes every day easier and more enjoyable.

Easy Access to the Rest of Coastal Virginia

Living in Virginia Beach also means you’re perfectly positioned to explore the wider Coastal Virginia region. With quick highway access, you can take day trips to historic Williamsburg, enjoy cultural outings in Norfolk, or escape to the Outer Banks for a weekend by the sea. Coastal Virginia is known for its variety, and renters in Virginia Beach get to enjoy the best of it without having to travel far—though there are plenty of hidden gems and unique places to explore without ever leaving Virginia Beach!)
