Watch This Before Buying Property in Northern Virginia Suburbs of DC

Watch This Before Buying Property in Northern Virginia

Let’s start with the Pros because there are a lot of them!
Location
Northern Virginia is amazing for both its proximity locally to everything you need but also in the country. Tyson’s Corner and the Dulles Corridor are huge employment centers.

Jobs
There are over 200 Corporate Headquarters located in Northern Virginia. They provide robust and stable employment for people who live in and commute to the area.

Transportation
Loudoun County and the northern part of Fairfax County welcomed the silver line with four stops in McLean, two in Reston, two in Herndon, and then three in Loudoun County. The last stop is Ashburn, which is an incredibly popular suburb of Washington DC. This was a windfall for Ashburn property values.

Climate
It’s thankfully pretty mild here. Our summers do get hot, so expect to wear shorts for June, July, August and September. Hats and gloves in December, January and February. We have four seasons. Actually, locals say that we have 12 seasons!

Education
People here are smart! According to Forbes, Arlington, Virginia is the 2nd’ most highly educated city in the country. According to a website called “Overflow Data,” The highest educated counties are in order: Falls Church City, VA, Arlington County, Los Alamos, New Mexico, City of Alexandria, Fairfax County, Howard County, MD, Loudoun County, VA. Virginia holds 5 of the top 7 spots.

The school systems for the kiddos are top notch. Fairfax and Loudoun Counties have strong schools across the board. The college options in Virginia are also awesome but worth highlighting here is the preference Virginia residents get for University of Virginia. UVA is a top school and as darn close to an Ivy as you’re going to get without being in New England. I have an in depth video on Fairfax County Schools which you can check out if you want to know more.

Diversity in Residents and Food
Where there is diversity, there is also a wide variety of options for eats. The diverse population in the entire area results in huge benefits for everyone. You will never be bored with all the great restaurant options. Beyond the usual finds of American, Italian, and Mexican, you can find Ethiopian, Indian, Greek, Balkan, German, Turkish, Thai, Korean, Yemeni, Afghani – it’s all here. There are restaurants in almost every community where you will find that old world feel that someone brought here from their home country, and you can seriously taste the love and pride in their food. It’s something I could not live without if I ever left the area.

Recreation
The outdoor recreation between the trails, bike paths and park is unbelievable. Each county also has their own recreation program where you often can get inexpensive access to great fitness classes, pools, water parks and gym facilities. There aren’t a lot of negatives about living in Northern Virginia but here’s a few you should be aware of.

Traffic

Cost of Living

Space
They like to build things in Virginia. And they don’t often give much thought to lot setbacks. What this can mean is that in some of these newer communities, you can borrow sugar from your neighbor by knocking on their kitchen window from inside your kitchen. Okay it’s not that bad, but it can certainly feel like it. The house looks amazing when it’s the model home with nothing around it, but they can get pretty dark when things are built in a row with little space between them.
