15. Norfolk, Virginia
With a sales tax as low as 0.35%, it’s no wonder Norfolk made it onto our list, right? It also has many miles of riverfront and bayfront property, including beaches on the Chesapeake Bay, so buying a house here will be like moving into your very own fairy tale home.
Town Point Park in downtown plays host to a wide variety of annual events from early spring through to late fall. Can’t get enough of the riverfront and harbor? You’ll be happy to learn about Harborfest, the region’s largest annual festival, which celebrates the region’s proximity and attachment to the water.
