Relocating to Winchester, VA? Here's a Relocation Blog for the Kids!

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty Negotiations

Winchester, VA Real Estate Blog 

 

We all know that children can experience a tremendous amount of apprehension when their family moves.  Whether they move across town or across the country, those little nerves need a lot of encouraging words.  Hopefully, you will find this blog helpful when reassuring your child that Winchester, Va is for kids, too! Pictures are worth 1,000 words!  I hope you get some giggles of relief, too!

 

If you are considering a move to the Winchester, VA area, and you're not already working with an agent, I'd love the opportunity to help you find a home to buy or rent.

 

Winchester Relocation Package   Fun Expedition

Fun Expedition is the number 1 place my kids wanted me to tell your kids about!  From putt putt golf to rock climbing and video games, it's all here.

This is a popular destination on snow days and a great place to host a birthday party!

For eats, there is a cafe.  Cici's Pizza is within walking distance and Chic-fil-A, equipped with a play area, is nearby!

Family friendly restaurants dot the map!  Here are a few your kids are sure to love!  Try a burger at Foster's Grille, the buffet at Cici's Pizza, or take the little ones to Chic-Fil-A to burn off some energy...

Natalie:  You are rockin' on these localism articles!  I love this one and the point that children are stressed with a move is truly an understatement--this should 'do the trick'!!

Absolutely, Debe.  When we relocated to Winchester from Williamsburg, we showed the kids all the fun and amazing places to visit before we told them we were moving here.  It lessoned the blow a little and they knew they'd eventually come to like it here.

Thanks, Melissa, I've had a lot of fun with these, and will  pause do do a wrap up post and carry on! 

Julie, I sure hope they find comfort.  Even if families are working with other agents, they need to see this and share with their children!  Fun Expedition is a blast.  Nathan has yet another birthday party to go to there and he never tires of them!

Thanks, Martha!  When kids feel like their new town might be a great place to live, parents can focus their energy on things like packing or even finding all the docs a mortgage lender has asked for!
