Vandalism on Bonney Road, Oceanfront Safety, Steady Real Estate, and Community Happenings in Virginia Beach

  • サマリー

  • Good morning, this is Virginia Beach Local Pulse for Saturday, April 12, 2025.

    Starting with breaking news, Virginia Beach Police are investigating a series of property damage incidents along the Bonney Road corridor. Over 30 reports came in earlier this week for shattered car windows, with at least 14 victims reporting stolen items. Officers remind us to lock our vehicles and keep valuables out of sight while urging residents with security footage to come forward. It’s a sobering reminder to stay vigilant in protecting our property.

    In another safety update, the recent shooting at the Oceanfront on 17th Street resulted in one arrest. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, but the incident has reinvigorated police efforts to ensure safety as visitor numbers increase with warmer weather. Expanded use of technologies like ShotSpotter and FLOCK cameras will help authorities monitor activity in crowded areas. This comes as businesses like Old Time Photos remain committed to serving the community while advocating for continued security investments in the tourist district.

    Now, shifting gears to local development, the Virginia Beach Development Authority recently discussed the city's public-private partnerships, reflecting on a $30 million net gain for our tax base from recent projects. Exciting updates include investments in the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater and redevelopment plans for the Dome district, promising a bustling season for entertainment and tourism.

    On the real estate front, the market remains steady, with median home prices hovering around $380,000. This aligns with a broader trend of growth as new projects attract homebuyers looking for vibrant community living.

    As for jobs, opportunities are on the rise, with openings at the Oceanfront for seasonal workers and new positions in development projects. Local businesses are also hiring across various sectors, from hospitality to construction.

    Looking ahead to the weekend, there’s plenty to enjoy. Tonight, the Sandler Center for the Performing Arts hosts a jazz ensemble sure to delight music lovers, while live performances continue at the Oceanfront as part of the spring music series. If you’re bringing the family out, check out the farmers' market this morning on Dam Neck Road for local produce and crafts.

    In community news, congratulations to the students of Princess Anne High, who took home first place in this week’s regional robotics competition. Their innovative designs showcase the incredible talent in Virginia Beach schools.

    Weather-wise, today will be sunny with highs near 70 degrees and light breezes—perfect for outdoor plans. The dry conditions provide an excellent backdrop for enjoying events around the city. Looking ahead, expect cooler temps tomorrow with a chance of showers in the evening.

    Finally, here’s a feel-good story to brighten your day: A group of local volunteers came together this week to plant trees along Shore Drive, enhancing both beauty and eco-consciousness in our city. A big thank you to everyone who lent a hand in making our community greener.

    This has been Virginia Beach Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
