Hi H.!! I grew up in Virginia Beach and went to Kempsville public schools and I moved away for a few years and now I am back living in Kempsville. I have a daughter who is only 11 months but I think Kempsville is a wonderful place to live and the schools are the best in the area. Its nice because you are at the center of everything and can pretty much be to any other area of Hampton Roads in 10-20 min. I don't know if your going to rent/buy but I also I can give you a wonderful reference for a real estate agent who works with renters and buyers. Let me know if I can help!! Good luck.
