[quote=Anonymous]For us, my husband had a few job offers in various areas. We had 2 elem age kids at the time and chose this area, because we could live here long term. If my husband lost his executive “high salary” job, there was a good chance he could find another without us having to move. I was also able to find a good job in my field. The public schools and options for private schools. (even though we say the public school are like private schools here, because you have to have a high HHI to afford the a house zoned for them). And even the debatably lower rated schools are leaps ahead of the ones where we left. Also we’re in VA so the bang for your buck and number of college options can’t be beat. We had the same initial thought about the area - congested, seemingly run-down compared the country club looking area we left, and relatively very expensive. (We literally doubled our housing budget to get something reasonably comparable to what we had and what I thought at the time I’d be comfortable in). I absolutelylove the diversity - Not just black, white, and other. Families look different but are so similar otherwise. To me, this is the biggest appeal of this area! [/quote]
