🎥 Vanguard Landing was on the news!

After more than 15 years of dreaming, planning, persevering and believing, we were excited to share a sneak peek into what Vanguard Landing is all about at our Media Open House earlier this week!

This story is more than a tour of our beautiful community—it is a glimpse into lives being lived, friendships being formed and a long-held vision finally becoming home. 💙🏡

We are incredibly grateful to Andy and the WAVY TV 10 team for taking the time to visit, listen and help share the heart behind Vanguard Landing.

From Virginia Beach to the Mediterranean Sea… the Vanguard Landing spirit travels everywhere. 🩵🌍

Her message absolutely made our day:

“Representing my people looking at the Mediterranean Sea in Cyprus… taking my people with me on my journeys 🩵🩵🩵”

It was 16 years ago that our Executive Director met with the then Mayor of Virginia Beach Will Sessoms and City Manager James Spore to discuss her idea of not another KIDS COVE playground but yet an Intentional Community designed for those with developmental differences but where anyone could live -……. And the rest is history ❤️

Okay… we think the VGL sticker has officially made it. 😎

Right there with state parks, road trips and favorite destinations — Vanguard Landing is along for the adventure! 💙

We absolutely LOVE seeing VGL represented out in the world. If you have a VGL sticker on your car, camper, laptop, water bottle or somewhere fun, send us a picture! We may just have to start a new series: 🌎✨

🎨 Something beautiful is taking shape at Vanguard Landing! 🌊🐚

Our residents have started an exciting new collaborative art project with our wonderful volunteer artist partner, Amanda Earl! Using colorful mosaic pieces, seashells, creativity, and teamwork, they are bringing a one-of-a-kind coastal creation to life.

We can’t wait to reveal the finished piece! Stay tuned—or come visit us soon to see the progress in person! 💙
