3 Reasons Why you should Live in NOVA

Culture

One of the cultures of DC or Northern Virginia is that it is a very right or left, or right or wrong type of environment.

That's because of the political influence of NOVA in proximity to DC. So often, instead of looking for agreement, people in the community look to be "right."

As a real estate agent, I go into people's homes all the time, and the first thing I see coming up on the doorstep is a Republican bumper sticker, or I see that Democrat bumper sticker. So it's a very polarizing society.

Commute

The commute is also vital to know about living in Northern Virginia. Depending on where you're living, the commute can be challenging. 

Through the pandemic, there are fewer people on the roads. Of course, more people are working from their homes, so that's been helpful, but what's been beneficial is the road improvements throughout the years.

Many infrastructures have gotten better. They've done the Silver Line up the Metro that goes from that to Dulles Airport, which has been helpful.

They did the Wilson Bridge Project. They've expanded on 495, the Beltway going around DC. They've done I-66 expansion dramatically. It's the only major road today that's not been approved. It is the toll road from Reston into DC or from Reston into the Beltway, at least.

There have been many infrastructure improvements, but it's still a tough commute. If you live in Woodbridge, let me tell you, and you work in DC, and you need to commute daily - man, that's going to be tough! 😱

Schools

The Northern Virginia Community has some of the world's best schools, both public and private schools.🧑‍🎓
