[quote=Anonymous]Both my spouse and I grew up in Virginia.  We went to VA public schools and VA universities.  Our families were born and raised in VA.
When we bought our first house we picked Maryland.  After having lived in Arlington and then Alexandria we were really disappointed with the houses.  Even the apartments in Arlington were terrible.  Another poster mentioned lots of "gray" and I think of asphalt and concrete heat islands when I think of Arlington.  Alexandria, near King Street, was better- but we had a lot of problems with power outages ironically.  The houses were seriously overpriced with not very good schools.  Not all of Virginia is like NOVA.  But our jobs are here, so we are staying.  When on a whim we checked out Maryland, we fell in love with a small neighborhood in close proximity to DC.  The people remind us of where we grew up, we can walk to places, and our house was affordable.  Since we both went to VA universities, our children can apply legacy if they wish- and we still have a lot of family in VA.  But I'm not picking my house on the hopes my kids *might* go to UVA.[/quote]
