[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not gonna lie -- we would have preferred a house on the beach, sure, but the hassle involved just wasn't worth it to us.  The closest beaches to the DMV are just too far and difficult to get to for a carefree summer weekend, and outside of the summer season they're dead and you can't swim anyway.

We ended up looking west, and landed on a place that we love.  On a bad day it's just under 2 hours; most of the time barely more than 90 minutes.  Saving an hour to 90 minutes each way is a game changer.  [/quote]

That's great that you found a place that you love. But I never understand when people just feel like they want a vacation home without a strong desire for a specific type of location, such as the beach or mountains. [/quote]

Because in our case it's not a "vacation" home.  It's a second home outside of the city.  We "vacation" elsewhere.  We "live" in our first and second homes.

Not that complicated.  [/quote]

I think we are still all confused, but I guess you need to name the city.

I suppose I understand a one BR in NYC and then a house in Scarsdale.

Outside of NYC, it’s hard to understand doing the equivalent in any other city…maybe Chicago but the nice suburbs are much closer in for Chicago.[/quote]

This is a DMV centered website.  Also, in my first post, I said that the closest beaches to the DMV were a hassle to get to.  So it should be pretty clear what city I'm talking about.

I said we're 90 minutes to 2 hours tops west of the city.  That far out of DC is a whole new world.  Our second home is not in the suburbs.  It's in a rural area just outside of a charming small town with plenty of amenities.

This is why it's frustrating sometimes when non-DMV folks take over this website.  You don't really understand our geography.[/quote]

You are a very rude person. [/quote]

Why?  For pointing out the obvious?
