Help me out: where would you live in Northern Virginia?

Anonymous
1) culpepper perhaps is an option if you want some land

2) the area of locust grove (lake of the woods) - not gated but access controlled and close to the VRE for an easy and relatively quick train ride into DC/Union Station. but lake access/lake side (if you are interested in that sort of lifestyle), golf, tennis, etc. and very close (driving distance) to a range of amenities

3) really wish I had your dilemma still of worker bee age plugging away. GL!

That was my first thought - nice town! Or, if you're willing to make the move to Maryland, how about Annapolis?

Middleburg
Purcellvile
Culpepper
Warrenton

Or a beach community (these are in MD though)

Chesapeake Beach
St Michaels

I would live near the Happy Tart Bakery on Mt Vernon in Alexandria. I love the area. The Birchmere is there too.

I would consider Alexandria, Rosemont, Del Ray area and Annapolis, although is MD.

Very helpful suggestions from everyone. I will definitely investigate the various options suggested.

- Outside the beltway but not more than 90 minutes (this is all the way out to Front Royal, right?)
- Rural or suburban only
- SFH
- Safe area
- Diversity (this would be harder the further out you go)

Anything else?


That is pretty much it! You are right that the diversity aspect would be an issue as one moves further out.

I am from southern MD. I wouldn't live there with kids, but I would go back in a heartbeat to a waterfront community in Calvert or St. Mary's counties. (I live in NoVa now...)
