      Things to do: ?? You must be new to the DMV bc apparently, your idea of something to do only involves clubs and music concerts. You waved your hand and said, well there's DC. But you could at least mention SOME of the numerous museums bc your target audience is for people who are unfamiliar w DMV, right? You said that there is no beach, but then completely ignored ALL of the boating and riverfront info. You also didn't mention any of the cultural events/festivals all over the DMV. There are hiking/biking trails, camping opportunities. You look like a person who really really really enjoys food. So give outsiders some foodie info. DMV has people from all over the world living here, and many have brought their cooking skills with them and have opened restaurants. You need to update to add this stuff.

    I’m originally from Silver Spring, MD. Sadly, I moved away when my new husband was transferred by Uncle Sam (USAF). That was over 30 yrs ago. I didn’t realize the move would become permanent when he retired (long story). I miss home SO SO SO SOOOOOOO much!!! I’m going to love watching your videos - they will be like taking mini vacations back to the area! 😊

      I lived in Pasadena Maryland on Spring Knoll Drive the first 9 years of my life. I loved it. Haven't been back in 11 years. Oddly I don't miss it anymore but it will always be in my heart.

    Remember he said "areas around Reston" may not have HOAs. Reston itself is a super HOA. You'll have two HOAs living in Reston: the Reston Association and your local cluster (or condo) association. The Reston Association is sort of like a town government if all they managed were parks & rec, road construction, and code enforcement. Yes we have moderately-high HOA fees, but we have a ton of amenities as a result, including amazing paved trail infrastructure, community centers, pools, tennis courts, and lake access from all that. Burke Centre operates on a similar governance model under the Burke Centre Conservancy. Having lived in both places, I think the Reston Association takes a much lighter touch in terms of enforcement (my neighbor said they only came twice in 25 years), whereas the Burke Centre Conservancy sends their enforcement patrol out on golf carts regularly to ding residents for violations. Do people have complaints in Reston? Sure, but my neighbors have been living here for 30-40 years, so it's nothing they can't live with

    For those that say Winchester isn’t nova. We’re literally the most northern city/town in Virginia 😂. But for the love of god I wish we would stop building apartments and town houses. We don’t have nearly the infrastructure.

    Culpeper and Spotsylvania are on track to be a once charming small town feel that will be Loudon county or fairfax county very soon. The generations of families that lived and still live in these areas are watching as their opinions of how our counties run become silenced as we are out numbered by new residents. Its awesome to see stressed roads, water/sewer systems and schools become more stressed and our taxes going up.
    Thank you county supervisors for prioritizing the flew heres over the grew heres

      Want affordability? Live where you work. You don't need a yard if no one gets home until after dark. I'm a Fairfax native & a McMansion with no trees made of cardboard that you never see in daylight will make you sad.

      Spotsylvania and culpeper have some of the most predatory and harassing thugs as police. I’d never recommend anyone living there unless they want to be policed by domestic terrorists.

      @jsgrimes9318 14 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @muslimah203 im going to disagree with you on Spotsylvania's sheriff and his deputies.
      Spotsylvania has very trained, disciplined and professional deputies , their vehicles have simple identifying graphics and unmarked cars are mostly white and Explorers are the vehicle they use. Spotsylvania is not aggressive in any way I've seen.
      Now...for the other county..I will agree with you though

They call Woodbridge Woodbridge and Front Royal hates newcomers!!!! I hate people that lie to make a dollar!!!

    Hello! Firstly, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the video and have already subscribed :D
    Just for some context, I'm a single 20 year-old guy in Charlotte NC, and am a cybersecurity consultant earning $96k/year, and am earning a degree part-time. I'm considering to move to the Arlington area this summer and am looking for a more exciting place to live. Given my salary, do you think living in Arlington is feasible, particularly with or without owning a car with a one-bedroom/studio?
    Also, are there any neighborhoods you might recommend given my circumstances from a social and financial perspective? Thanks!
