Popular Hickory schools draw in new residents
Pleasant Grove West falls under the Chesapeake Public School District. “People move here to find houses that are cheaper than those in Hickory but still sit close to Hickory schools,” Xenos says. Hickory Elementary gets students engaged with the community through a variety of volunteer events. Students continue their education at Hickory Middle. Kids might join the softball team, boys' volleyball team or the Harry Potter Club. When it’s time for high school, Hickory High has a championship-winning marching band and job fairs to push students toward a bright future. Those who live closer to downtown Chesapeake often send their young children to Grassfield Elementary. Kids learn with small group projects that bring classmates and teachers together. Hugo A. Owens Middle is the natural next step for residents and features a popular drama club and band. Students interested in STEM thrive at Grassfield High by enrolling in the Governor’s STEM Academy.

Fresh treats and fun at Greenbriar Farm
For holiday fun, “Locals visit Greenbriar Farms throughout the year. It’s a cute place with fun activities and a nice restaurant,” Xeno says. Visitors can pick out their Christmas tree in the winter, choose plump pumpkins in the fall or fill a basket with handpicked strawberries in the summer. When guests need to refuel after spending time on the farm, The Hive Farm Bar and Grill has outdoor seating and a menu stuffed with sticky honey buns, pulled pork sandwiches and jack honey whiskey lemonades. Future pilots and aviation enthusiasts frequent the Chesapeake Regional Airport. This airport has a flight center to train new pilots and offers private commercial flights.
