I'm planning to move to the VA Beach/Chesapeake area and want to build a custom house. Any ideas on lot prices there, preferably in a subdivision? Also, any builders to stay away from? Considering Mitchell homes as a builder...

The location doesn't matter too much to me as long as it is in a low crime area. I'm just looking for a typical subdivision lot, maybe 150x150 feet or so. I'm looking mostly to get an idea on the land itself. Not necessarily the house price. So whatever information you can give concerning that would be great. The proximity to schools doesnt matter nor does the proximity to the beach. Mostly anywhere in VA beach would be alright for me.

Talking 150x150?

If you're looking for a lot that size you might want to consider looking in North Carolina. It's MUCH, MUCH cheaper!! A lot that size in this area will start in the six digits. Most lot sizes in the populated areas are only about a third of an acer. If you don't mind a bit of a drive, there's the Suffolk area, it's building up out there and so is North Carolina. You'll have about a half hour - fortyfive minute drive into Chesapeake for either of those. There is too much construction around here to even keep up with it all. Lots of Condos and (what they call) "City Living" homes going up in Virginia Beach. The pembroke area is up and coming, they're trying to give it more of a "city" feel with cafes, the mall, and new condos. Alot of well established neighborhoods in Va. Beach. Incase you've never been here, the city of Va. Beach and Ches. aren't really "cities" in the way you'd think of New York city for example. Everything is more spawled out and a car is almost a must.
I've lived in the Ches.-Va. Beach area most of my life although I've lived many other places as well, NC. included. Hope that helps.
