This video reminds me of the blind men describing an elephant. The one who feels the trunk thinks an elephant is like a snake. The one who feels the leg thinks an elephant is like a tree. You’re only describing your tiny part of Virginia.
Always know ; Virginia is a commonwealth state. There r 7 states total that r commonwealth states. Myself Appalachian mountains r always beautiful and the best of all to live in ! Winters can b brutal, u just have to prepare ahead of time. Winter time is when family spends alot of time together.
I own a house on 6 acres of land around Wytheville, VA. I own house near city limits in Fairmont, WV which is my primary residence. The property taxes are pretty similar overall. Due to my wife working for WVU medicine which options out insurance for medical, dental, vision insurance. We have blue cross blue shield for prescriptions and peak for everything else which is typical independent insurance which we would have no matter the state. And like everything else some places do not accept our insurance. All and all I don't find much difference when I am living at house in Virginia in comparison to house in West Virginia. Daily life is similar a little different options in stores/shopping but overall both areas have similar stuff if not the same stuff. The biggest difference as we drive around Wytheville and into Christianburg/Roanoke area it's more flat, a bit cleaner, better upkept, more farm land, and feels better overall quality of life. I was born in Wytheville, I own my grandparents home there(they passed) my wife was born in Fairmont. However, if we actually decide to sell everything and move it won't be to Virginia or West Virginia.
You have a very eastern panhandle biased view of West Virginia. One big plus coming to WV is rural broadband deployment that will allow living in the woods and working remotely anywhere.
Thanks for the feedback! We’re slowly but surely making more content specific to different regions in West Virginia. We’ll try to keep our bias aside in the future when talking about the state in a broader way. We did mention internet in another video. Have you heard of Starlink? I do believe that will also be helpful as to internet for a lot of folks that are more rural
I never knew that people get both states mixed up until recently. I've been in Wva my entire life and Virginia once that I can remember but that's been years ago and it was Roanoke Virginia and I really don't remember much about it. I live in kind of like the southern part of Wva surrounded by mountains and I actually live on the side of a mountain lol...Ramp Capitol of the world, so I've heard lol
lol not too many people get them mixed up! Someone joked to me that Winchester is basically West Virginia the other day... couldn't disagree with them more lol Ramp Capitol of the world? No kidding, where's that exactly?
@@Maryland_Kulak more you go west in to WV it is more wild less developed or more like ravaged by time and economical situation and there is less stores, shops restaurants and you have more dollar generals and not that many gas stations, when you go closer towards Winchester due to proximity to Washinston dc leesburg there is more choices and options where it comes to every day amenities.
Thanks for the feedback! We’re starting to work that in with our more recent videos. Check it out and let me know what you think! th-cam.com/video/cMoLN5JgsaA/w-d-xo.html
Two totally different states lol. Dont forget the number one by far in opioid overdose and prescriptions, poverty, obesity, worse oppurtunistic job outlook, worse move out move it state, god awful politics. The weather is the worse too. Unless you like overcast and unpredictable weather. But go ahead. Check it out
We discuss a lot of those items in our other video th-cam.com/video/2SPb4SpM0_E/w-d-xo.html We're working on our video regarding Martinsburg and a lot of folks mentioned local politics too. Do you live in WV? Thanks for watching!

I agree!
Wish I had family...lost mine Jan 3 2022 an still can't get over it😢
Both States are stunning! West Virginia has potential!
Agreed! Thanks for watching Auric
You are talking too fast and it is difficult to take in all of what you are saying
Surprised you didn’t include the ocean front of VA!
It's on the list! The 7 cities video should be up by end of Summer
I live in WV, but love the ocean front of VA.
He’s just talking about the areas in which he sells real estate.

Sounds nice! I've never been to Wytheville but it sounds like my kind of place. Now I'm curious, if not WV or VA, where would y'all be going?
I hoped you would have included demographics in your comparison.
I grew up in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, in this era, that part of WV is jusr as expensive housing wise as Md, Va and Pa.
Parts of WV is also right outside of DC, much like VA
your videos are great !

What is the best place in west virginia to live?
@@johndoee3850 really depends what you’re looking for John. If you’d like to chat give me a ring +1 (540) 336-6130
I moved to North Carolina 10 years ago, More residents in my town did not realize WV and VA are two entirely different states.
@@tammyhall3144 Did you live in west Virginia, if so what part?I live in Asheville, I lived in Roanoke for 6 months. Thanks
Great info thank you! We visited both states and loved Harpers Ferry, WV
Nice! Love Harpers Ferry this time of year. Great time for a hike
Looking for nice size city with a big Powersports dealership that also has mountains and you can drive side-by-side on the street¿
WV can still be saved… VA is a lost cause…
Virginia Beach is one of the safest cities in America, please pick up a book Sherlock
Why?
eastern side of WV is more diverse and has more to offer then inland WV, lived in Winchester for few years, but you are spot on
Nice! You come back to Winchester often? It’s a lot different these days
@@movingtovawv i moved out in Augest was there in beginning of May, also easter side of WV also has allot of government jobs
What do you mean by diverse?
@@Maryland_Kulak more you go west in to WV it is more wild less developed or more like ravaged by time and economical situation and there is less stores, shops restaurants and you have more dollar generals and not that many gas stations, when you go closer towards Winchester due to proximity to Washinston dc leesburg there is more choices and options where it comes to every day amenities.
@@cebulka81Thanks for clarifying
Just bought a house in the gorge near Beckley. Absolutely love it!
Good choice!
Thanks nicely presented.
Glad you liked it!
There's too much "talking head" in this presentation. Pictured voice-over would have done it better.
