[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in MD now, but when we were house hunting, we definitely considered NOVA. DH and I are from MN so we really had no context of VA vs. MD. We found VA to have lots of very nice parts. Cheaper taxes. Way more development than MD. We actually found NOVA in generally to have a better stock of newer homes and better options for schools and house space for better prices then MD.

Can't put my finger on it, but we really just did not feel comfortable in VA and did not want our kids, who are biracial, to go to school there. While house hunting and talking with people who lived in the neighborhoods we searched (Vienna, Mclean, North Arlington, Falls Church, Loudon, Alexandria), we really got an underlying sense that we were not really wanted there. It was perplexing b/c we know plenty of minorities who live throughout NOVA and they never expressed this sentiment. At least not explicitly.[/quote]

I'm a minority and i never felt out of place in North Arlington but gentrification really screwed up the areas you mentioned.[/quote]
