Help us make it rightHorrible for Owners...Great for Renters.. I have owned and lived in Kempsville Lake for the past 6 years and for an owner of property here they treat you like complete crap. In order to do anything to bring up the value of your duplicated home or to try to make it stand out you have to put in an application, and for most requests I would understand why, but in order to re-roof with an accredited company doing the work and upgrading from 3-tab to architectural shingles is such a huge deal around here it's ridiculous. It's not alright to have written agreement that the shingle color will be...
I have been a resident of Kempsville Lake for the past 7 years and counting. I have before lived in Norfolk and came to Va beach to relieve myself and family of the high crime that my family was exposed to in Norfolk. I know crime is everywhere but since I have lived in this neighborhood, I have experienced nothing but kindness and support from my neighbors! I love where I live even though the association doesn't contribute to the lake in our back yard. We as neighbors have contributed together to help keep the lake we have in the backyard presentable, although the association spend...
I have lived in Kempsville Lakes for 10 years. I admit it has had its ups and downs, but last year our dog was missing and we searched for him and everyone was friendly & helpful. There have been more community events lately and I have felt that there is more a communal sense.
My children love the lakes, the ducks, the playground & pool. The array of activities can keep us busy here which has been real economical.
My direct neighbors are very sweet and helpful.
Pros
+ Beautiful Surrondings.
In the past it was a little rough, but with the recent changes they have drastically improved this place. I have lived here for 4 years now and love where this place is going, maybe a basketball court will be put in soon, great pool, 2 lakes with bike and walking paths, tennis courts, kids playground, and very friendly neighbors. Don't pass up the opportunity to live here given the chance!!!!
I have lived in Kempsville Lake for almost 4 years now. The neighborhood is generally quiet, and while I know crime happens here, the fact is that it happens everywhere, and statisticlly speaking, according to the Va Beach PD, it is no where near the highest in the city. The neighborhood watch here goes through times of being very active to not being active at all. The only way this program works is if it is consistent and people participateThey are there to manage the common areas and insure the covenants and restrictions are adhered to. This combined with neighborhood watch, community...
I just read all of the poor reviews of Kempsville Lake and I won’t try to dispute their experiences, but I can offer my own.
I have lived here as a young wife (no children) and a frequent dog walker. I walk my dog almost every day around our nearby lake and sometimes around the larger front lake. Many reviewers talk about hoodlums or teens loitering at the lake, and although I too often see large groups of kids, I smile and say hello and guess what--they smile back and compliment my dog. I feel bad for those who have been intimidated by these kids but from my perspective, they have been...

I wish something could be done to improve this neighborhood. I have lived here with my husband and 2 young children for almost 2 years. We've had bikes stolen from our front porch and from our back yard-with the gate locked, someone trying to break in, SEVERAL of our neighbors homes broken into and ran-sacked, a gun with stolen goods found in the alley, young children swearing at other children...
I have been living in Kempsville Lake as a homeowner for over a year now and I love it. We have a wonderful home with a sizeable backyard compared to other communities, and I enjoy taking my dog for walks around the big lake and the smaller lake near our home. I like my neighbors and am never bothered by noise. No crime that we know of, no complaints against anyone or any real fear of going out...
I have been living in Kempsville Lake for 11 years and I must say that I would NOT recommend anyone buy property here. The area has went down so much the last few years. All renters are not bad but alot of renters let their children tear up other people's property. I have seen it with a couple of neighbors. I have had to get on a few childen thinking they can play in my driveway when I'm not...
Wow! What a deceiving place Kempsville Lakes is! I am a 24 year old female, who currently lives with her parents in Kempsville Lakes. My parents own our town house and we have been here since I was 1. It is incredible the changes (for the worse) that the neighborhood has taken. I do not recommend anyone renting or buying here. There is so much crime that happens here that isn't publicized. For the first time in who knows how long crime activity was actually reported on the News this morning that took place here 2 nights ago. There was a DRIVE-BY! A drive-by, people! This happened...
Let's open up here and give a little useful incite as to what type of neighborhood Kempsville Lakes really is. My family and I have been residents of this neighborhood for 3 yrs. In the 3yrs since we've become residents of this neighborhood, I've seen quite a bit of crime. I'm just going to list a few crime activities that have occurred on my street alone: 1). An innocent man beaten with a baseball bat by 3 ruthless individuals. 2). One victim's truck was broken into with his cellphone, his change console, and other items taken. 3). Another victim having a $400.00 bike stolen: ATTACHED TO...
My husband and I decided to rent in Virginia Beach before buying to see if we liked the area first. We have rented for one year in Kempsville Lakes and we really like our townhome, our neighbors and our section of the street. Everyone right here is pretty friendly and quiet. However, we are glad we did not buy here. We have three children who I usually rode to and from school all year because of the kids on the bus. I have read the other comments on this site, and it's true...there are ALOT of unsupervised children in this neighborhood. I'm not sure what the management could do...
People when is your common sense going to kick in? Please tell me how you expect a single manager & small staff for this community to control unruly kids. If the kids are unruly & the parents are not making efforts to raise productive children, just how do you expect the community staff to do the parents? job for them? I have lived in the community for 12 years & yes, I have also seen a change in the community, but it has nothing to do with the manager. A manager?s job is to cause the care & maintenance of the common areas, such as pool, playground, & tennis court. Common areas do not...
I have read all the reviews on Kempsville Lake and I can say yes that there are a lot of ""children/young adults"" that are out of control and the parents are allowing the streets to raise them, but who are we to blame the management staff when I believe there is only three members on the staff and the streets are owned by the City of Virginia Beach. We as homeowers/residents of Kempsville Lake need to take our neighborhood back and the more we call the police the more patrols we will get and clear out the unwanted people in the community. How can we blame our association management...
I have lived in Kempsville Lake for about six years now. I have to agree with the comments below. The neighborhood has become quite disturbing because of the hoodlums hanging everywhere. One of my roomates was held up right off of Weller Blvd. by hoodlums with a gun. I have to say I believe it lies with the management. I have been complaining about them for a couple years now, and they are still there. Too busy fining people for leaving out trash cans, mold on siding, etc. We need to take our neighborhood back. It is a convenient place to live, the homes are really nice and roomy,...
I have lived in kempsville Lake for almost a year now as a renter. Renters are not thought too highly of in this neighborhood. Not all renters are bad but the stereotypes are terrible in this community. We pay $200.00 a year in community fees and we are not allowed at the community meetings and have no voice in the community because we don't own that $200.00 is for pool privilages! Whoopee, I wouldn't use their pool if you paid me. I don't let my 10 year old son go out without supervison, the older punks in the neighborhood pick on the younger ones. The loud music from the cars...
Two years ago we thought we were making a good investment by buying our first home here. Now it seems the neighborhood has been overtaken by young punks that troll the streets looking for the next house to break into. It is a huge problem, and it does not appear that management is taking a proactive approach to making things safer. They seem more concerned with little things like mold on vinyl siding or a leaky gutter. Our ""neighborhood watch"" is made up of concerned citizens who have to spend their spare time looking out for suspicious people instead of enjoying their homes. ...
The area is central and shows great potential. However I agree with the last review. It seems the Association is more agressive towards fining families for leaving their trash can on the curb following trash day, and other little things like painting your trim than they are concerned with safety. It seems that hoodlems run the association, you cant walk the lake without seeing 10-20 of them hanging around the lake and the last time my wife walked around it she had a fake gun pointed at her and they acted like they were shooting at her(atleast we hope it was fake). Also were does our...
I have lived in KempsLakes for many years and it's gone down hill since the newest manager took over in the community office. Due to poor planning the neighborhood pool was opened a month late and most problems that arise throughout the neighborhood are neglected. Seems she's too busy to actually do her job. As someone who plans to move from the area, I know by advising people not to move here I could be shooting myself in the foot. But as I see it, if nothing is said, nothing will change. It's time for some house cleaning in the office at Kempsville Lakes in Virginia Beach.
