[quote=Anonymous]My best friend moved her family to Lexington, VA and they love it. The city has a single elementary and middle school (for high school you have to go to the county school and that's where things may get interesting). There is no Target, there is a WalMart. Grocery stores aren't great. They just got a Starbucks and Chick Fil A. They don't have a Chipotle. The city is quite insular and very separate from the county. Her boys did a rec sports league with the county and the difference in the parents on that team versus the city ones was striking. Personally, I think small towns with colleges are ideal. Really rural areas wouldn't cut it for me (although we did leave DC because we couldn't stand it there anymore), but obviously that's a personal choice. As far as the schools go, the Lexington City schools are both 7/10 on Great Schools, so not sure how DCUM would feel about them, but they're very happy.[/quote]
