Moving to the Area – Where to Live?

Hey everyone! My fiancé just matched for residency Riverside Medical Center, so we’re moving to the area in May. We don't necessarily need to live in Newport News, but must be within 30 min. We’re a young couple, no kids, and we like being outdoors, eating good food, and living somewhere safe. Any recommendations on the best areas to check out? We’d love a spot with some nature, good restaurants, and not too far of a drive.

Appreciate any insight from locals! Thanks!
