Two years ago we thought we were making a good investment by buying our first home here. Now it seems the neighborhood has been overtaken by young punks that troll the streets looking for the next house to break into. It is a huge problem, and it does not appear that management is taking a proactive approach to making things safer. They seem more concerned with little things like mold on vinyl siding or a leaky gutter. Our ""neighborhood watch"" is made up of concerned citizens who have to spend their spare time looking out for suspicious people instead of enjoying their homes. Kempsville Lakes walks a very fine line between a respectable Virginia Beach neighborhood and a slum. It is in a very desirable part of the city, so I agree there is a lot of potential, but that won't matter if the tide doesn't start to change.
