It's been a lot of years, but NN was considered a slum when I was there. Yorktown or Williamsburg are close. There is Langley AFB there, as well as NWS Yorktown and Fort Eustis. So you aren't far from the military amenities like dental, medical, exchange, commissary, ... etc. I lived in Virginia Beach (which is a very large area geographically) The drive was a bit longer, but it was closer to Norfolk, with the huge Navy base there and all the stuff above. There are (were) also about five Navy installations in the VB area. Plus there was a nice semi-suburban atmosphere there. It was almost like living in America (grin).
Get a AAA guide for the area, check with real estate agents, and always ask the Navy wives who have been there.
I have no idea how many of those military installations still exist, but for your own sanity, don't live too close to one.
