We came to walk around and shop and have lunch on Saturday and really had a good time inside the Local's Marketplace. Think - Painted Tree Boutique with all different little vendor stalls with their unique items. Some are handmade and new like soaps or art while some are just vintage stalls with clothing, home decor and shoes and such. It's all three levels - though the third only has a few vendors currently. What I loved was that each stall has an honor system where you bag and pay for the item using Cash App or Venmo yourself. Vibes inside were great and friendly and I saw some excellent local art and unique items. Left with some car scents from Kacie's Honey Pot that smell SO good!

There are tons of vendors here - in front of Waterside they're easy to see but there are more inside and on the back area by the water so be sure to walk through the building (a few were set up inside in back by the doors) and onto the sidewalk outside where there were easily another 10-15 tents. There is a lot of vintage/flea market clothing but there are also vendors selling their crafts like wood cutting boards, stones and crystals, bags, soaps and candles, etc. We had a good time and everyone was very friendly.

My favorite is the New Year Block Party, complete with a crab pot drop. But there's also block parties all year round for different events. Then there's the annual Blackbeard Pirate festival over in Mill Point Park and Bay Days. The Virginia Air & Space Museum also offers a lot of events for kids and families - never a bad shout for young and old explorers alike. Dining or Drinking? There's plenty of options in Downtown, with the favorites being along E Queen St. Marker 20, Venture, Brown Chicken Brown Cow, Taphouse, Musasi, and over on Settlers Landing Rd you have Bull Island Brewing Company and Latitude 37. There's plenty of residential options, two higher education facilities, and retail options - just a stone throw away from I-64. If you haven't made a trip down here, give it a go. Retail shops are mostly independent and offer a range of unique gifts, art, jewelry, clothing, pottery, and more! So shop small, and support local!!! Downtown is defined by it's waterfront, and of course the marina and piers. There are multiple garages (mostly FREE) and on-street parking spaces throughout, but better yet, on a sunny day, the walkable area along Hampton River waterfront is breathtaking and incomparable.

This is a good place to bring out-of-towners for shopping handmade goods in order to have a more authentic souvenir from a visit to the area. I'm not against grabbing a keychain at the airport, but this is for Moore specialized giftgiving and can be a fun place to shop for individuals to find a special birthday present . They routinely have pop-ups with different vendors in kiosks in the middle of the arcade. I would recommend anyone to stop by here in the course of running errands in the downtown area or if you have an occasion to be walking around the Norfolk TCC campus. The vendors are all very accommodating, and this is an accessible shopping experience for most people. If you have accommodation needs, I know that there are also printed menus and assistance for individuals who have mobility concerns.

How surprised I was when my GPS took me to this large shopping area for a specific restaurant. I…read morehad no idea that it existed. It's a winding, clean, up to date shopping area with a plethora of stores & eateries too numerous to list. Landstown Commons is beautifully landscaped and maintained. The restaurant I visited was in a cute area with a small one way around and back with a greenway & trees in the middle. It was very aesthetically pleasing. The selections of businesses in this area were mixed and varied, leading one to want to revisit & explore. What a change the Dam Neck, General Booth area has experienced in the almost 40 years since we were house hunting following our move from Atlanta. During that time there were almost no housing developments in the area. We looked at one under construction on the east side of General Booth. But there was absolutely no shopping centers or eateries. It felt as if we were in the country, in the midst of fields. Dam Neck & Plaza Trail had not been extended. Nimmo Parkway didn't exist. Who would want to live in an area with no amenities? But who could have envisioned what it would become. Now the area is teaming with shopping, restaurants & housing developments. After my first visit I think Landstown Commons must be the crown jewel of them all. Even though it's a long distance from my house, it will require another exploration visit. It was too near sundown on my first visit to stay. There may be similar areas. I see an exploration trip in my future.

This is the most convenient shopping center when I need to make a quick trip either on my lunch…read morebreak or after work. There is a great variety of eateries and stores that satisfies my need to window shop or spend money! The center has 2 entrances - 1 on Princess Anne Rd and 1 on Dam Neck, both with stoplights. The PA entrance can be a little hairy during the lunch hour or busy weekends, but isn't too bothersome. There are always those who don't want to abide by the unspoken rules of the 3-way stop and yield to incoming traffic. There is ample parking if you don't mind not parking directly in front of the store you are going to during busy hours. Several of the stores (Carter's, Ulta, Old Navy) have curbside pick up so you may see vehicles parked on the curb. I really like that I can hit Kohl's and the aforementioned stores on foot easily as they are on opposite sides of the parking lot from each other. Best Buy is also convenient along with several other boutique stores, Phoenix Salon Suites, IT stores, you name it. Most of the eateries (aside from BWW, IHOP, Ynot and Super Ninja) are on a separate roundabout near the Dam Neck entrance. This can get a little crazy at lunch hour too, so I always recommend parking behind the restaurants for easy-in/easy-out. The center is well-maintained and always looks clean. I notice the golf cart occasionally making the morning rounds before 8am to empty bins and pick up stray trash. So long as I'm working nearby, you can find me here on the regular!

We talked to the owner for a while who was very friendly and said they he had redone the event space in the back and set it up for parties and such.

There are two eateries that are currently relatively new customer favorites. Mixed in are neighborhood essentials, such as insurance agent, fast food, hair salon & even a dance studio.

The shopping center anchors the northeast corner of the intersection on Baxter Road & Princess Anne Rd. The location isn't just convenient for Kempsville. It's an easy drive from the Shore Drive corridor via Independence Blvd. And it's a must for me to get my staple of Korean pears.
