Virginia Beach is the largest city in Virginia, about 460,000 people, with ZIP codes 234 covering the city, at the center of the Hampton Roads metro of 1.8 million that includes Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Newport News, Hampton and Williamsburg. The housing is single-family subdivisions on large carrier routes across most of the city and the region, with the Oceanfront and Ghent in Norfolk as the denser, in-demand neighborhoods. Hampton Roads has the largest concentration of military installations in the world, and the constant rotation of Navy, Army, Air Force and Coast Guard families makes new mover programs unusually productive.
Hampton Roads businesses mail military families and long-time residents alike: real estate teams farm Great Neck, Chesapeake and the Oceanfront; home services companies mail homeowner lists in a coastal climate; restaurants mail EDDM; dental, medical and orthodontic practices mail by household; credit unions and insurance agencies serve the bases; and the shipbuilding, defense and logistics employers mail businesses across the region.

Virginia Beach's Great Neck, Alanton and the North End carry the highest home values; Kempsville, Princess Anne and Red Mill are large suburban routes with steady new movers. Chesapeake (Greenbrier, Hickory) is the growth corridor. Norfolk's Ghent and Larchmont are farmed by agents; the rest of Norfolk and Portsmouth are dense EDDM territory. Suffolk, Newport News, Hampton and Williamsburg across the water mail with the Southside in one Hampton Roads campaign.
Military moves and delivery
Military rotations peak in summer, and weekly new mover lists reach thousands of arriving households a year. Hurricane and nor'easter season sends roofers and restoration companies to the mailbox from August through October. Mail for the region is processed at the Norfolk facility, and Marketing Mail entered there typically reaches Hampton Roads mailboxes in three to five business days.
