[quote=Anonymous]From DC there are two centers of gravity for high end magazine quality weekend houses and quaint towns.  We don’t really have a high end ocean front area, though Lewes maybe is the closest thing.

The two are Virginia hunt country inside 90 minutes and Maryland Eastern shore inside 90 minutes.  That’s where the premium properties are.

As you get outside 90 minutes the desirability and prices go down.  This tells me that 90 minutes or less is easy.  As you get further it gets harder.  Going west, 3 hours has you at places like Lost River or Shenandoah Valley… lovely area but much lower cost.  If Lost River were within 90 minutes I expect it would be much pricier.  Locations in the Valley are lower priced than their counterparts to the east of the blue ridge… Even Orange and Keswick east of the blue ridge are lower priced than Middleburg.

So it boils down to what you can afford… the travel time is real and people are willing to pay a lot to shorten the distance and that should tell you something as you think of more vs less time to get to the property.
