For all of you non-baseball fans out there, the Norfolk Tides are the Triple-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, and 5-0 is pretty impressive.

★ : Local Navy Man Finds Happiness In Cornerstone Community

noreply@blogger.com (Easton Advertising) — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:44:00 +0000

Local Navy Man Finds Happiness In
Chesapeake Homes’ Community

Ben Lowry, Happy with his Cornerstone Purchase

Petty Officer Third Class Benjamin Lowry was in the market to buy a new home. The Navy serviceman, who was recently stationed in Virginia Beach, figured it would be smarter to invest in homeownership than to sink his money into renting. On his wish list? "Once I decided to buy, the most important thing to me was a centralized location somewhere between Norfolk and Virginia Beach," Ben explained. He also wanted something affordable so as not to go outside his monthly housing budget.

One of the first places Ben checked out was Cornerstone, a Chesapeake Homes' community located mere minutes from the fun and excitement of Virginia Beach's Town Center, and situated conveniently between Norfolk and Virginia Beach. "In the summer, everyone hangs out at the oceanfront, but in the winter, Town Center is the hot spot," described Ben. "My new home is seconds from the fun, and I really like that!"

For Ben, Cornerstone had just what he was looking for... perfect location, spacious plan in relation to square footage, and an unbeatable price! "I could not believe the amount of space in the model I selected. It's a tremendous value," Ben exclaimed. The Chanel model Ben chose is one of Chesapeake Homes' newest model offerings at Cornerstone. Featuring just over 1700 square feet, The Chanel offers three levels of stylish living with a rear-loading garage and deck. Optional choices allow a buyer to have three or four bedrooms and 2.5 to 3.5 baths depending upon how a buyer selects to customize their home.

Cornerstone Community Near Town Center in Virginia Beach

Ben's not sure what lies ahead for his military career, but one thing is for certain, wherever he ends up, he knows he made the right decision to invest in buying at Cornerstone!

Be sure to ask our sales managers about our added Military Appreciation Bonus, just for our service men and women, as a special thank you for all you do for our country!

Many military personnel and families are often faced with the need to make a relocation quickly, and our list of available homes, many ready now, will help buyers plan which communities, home and area is right for them. We even offer a handy map, showing how close our communities are to local military installations and bases, for quick and easy commutes. Our communities are also located near important amenities and services most military look for when searching for a home – such as schools, shopping, interstate access, community services, medical facilities and local businesses

We invite you to browse our military pages on our website and let us know what you think. We hope you will find this information helpful as you begin your home search in our area. And, please do not hesitate to contact one of our site managers, each is very knowledgeable in military financing options. At Chesapeake Homes, we salute our nation’s military families, and want to say THANK YOU for all you do for our country!
