Relocating to Fairfax County in Northern Virginia? Do Not Worry, It's Nice!

Very traditional commuters view in Northern Virginia

 

If you are relocating to Fairfax County Virginia and have heard that much of your commuting view will be the butt of the car in front of you...that is true.

One reason is that our unemployment rate is 5% vs the average for the US stands at 9.6 as of  October 2010...that may be why you are moving here.

 

 

 

 

 

We have more deer than rabbits

 

 

Fairfax County is Virginia's economic engine ....but there is more to see in our area than tail lights and tail pipes and plenty of interesting things to do.

The Capital of the Free World is one of our suburbs after all.

We do not have an ocean or desert at our doorstep, but we have pretty much everything else you might want.

 

 

 



Horses...we got 'em.Great schools, great paying jobs and entrepreneurial opportunity, every ethnic restaurant that you might be craving....

.....as well as mega International food stores that sell the raw materials to make your own cultural extravaganza.

(Live fish! Makes fishing easy!)

 

 

Country...yes we have that nearby

 

 

The following pictures were taken 45 (non rush hour) minutes from the high tech corridor that surrounds Dulles Airport.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





 The towns of Chantilly, Herndon, Reston and Ashburn provide one of the hottest job markets in the area but are within an easy drive of Northern Virginia's horse, vineyard, and farm country to the west. Acres of pastures surrounded by hand laid cement free stone walls lead you to the entrance to the Shenandoah Valley.

 So, do not fear if you are moving here!

Good work on the slide show. It's great to see so many of the homes flying the flag, and the open spaces provide a nice contrast to the nearby big cities.

Thanks Karen,

We live in a great area...we often just drive by the big and little beauty without seeing it don't we?

 

Thanks John, Lots of flags lots of the time here. We have many active duty and retired military folks in residence.
