[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've got a place in Reedville and live in Alexandria.  It's 2.5 hours door to door.  Internet SUCKS but between hot spotting our phones and the satellite, we managed to keep 4 kids and 4 adults schooling/teleworking this spring.

We love it.  Reedville is cute (but tiny) and we do our supply shopping either in Heathsville or Kilmarnock.  [/quote]

Any reason you chose that area? We've been looking at property down that way.....[/quote]

DP but we bought in Reedville b/c it is the closet town directly on the Bay when driving from Alexandria.  2.5 hours.   Kilmarnock and White Stone are other nice options directly on the Bay but those towns would add about 40 minutes to each round trip from Alexandria.

Reedville is also slightly less expensive than the towns further south b/c it is a much smaller town with less shopping/restaurants, etc. and also because of the reputation of the Reedville menhaden plant.   Our Reedville house is relatively close to the menhaden plant, but we only smell it a few times in the summer (typically just for a couple of hours until the wind shifts) when we are directly downwind.
