This was a year ago you really should update…Stafford, va great..Clean, beautiful, and many great dining venues… mostly home owners .., pricey… many are working in dc. Stafford, Va is a city.. it’s a bedroom community .. schools here are great! Please update
Stafford sucks. I grew up there. Even back in the olden days, traffic was a nighmare. My parents found it difficult to make fruends because the adults commuted to DC and had no time for life. No where to shop. Have to go out of the county to work. Not really any sense of community to be proud of.
Stafford is not a good place to live. Its proximity to Route 1 and the 95 highway makes it a pain in the arse especially around rush hour, holidays, or if there is inclement weather or a road accident. Stafford lacks a movie theater. Mom and pop stores have closed down due to high leasing costs.
Changed a little as much taxes we pay October 2024 😢 poor maintenance main road example 610 and halfway side walkway? So many places to eat, no side walks, please make it safe for students
so if you don't drive the job problem is very real. Don't recommend if you don't plan on driving. And as an alumni of Stafford school the teacher turn over rate is crazy; that review was so right on the second half. Teachers that i had one year wasn't there anyone the next. If I were to go back to any of my past schools none of my old teachers are there, I know cause i checked.
Lack of good rated Schools and lack of Asian grocery stores like lotte, Costco, and no planet fitness. Why is hh poole and Stafford high so bad rated and what about Rodney Thomson middle and its affiliated highschool of that area? Why is no one pushing the schools to do well?
Why is the city not developing? This a problem because everything is in Fredericksburg. Why should I need to drive there to go to a nice restaurant, Costco, movies, etc. This area feels like a small rural town. This is silly because there is nearly 160,000 people living in the county. Make a real downtown in Stafford City and develop the city.

I have lived here since 1985.....ITS WAY TOO CROWDED NOW!
A lot of people share that sentiment
I’ve been here since 2003. It’s definitely very densely populated even with road changes it feels like they are a decade behind the road development.

That is true about no sense of community. It has no personality. Lots of anonymity.
Nailed it

Thank you for the insights!
@@wheretoliveFredericksburg how is the diversity ? mainly white ? mainly black ?
Hey i grew up in Stafford county back in the 70`s grew up in Aquia Harbour went to Stafford Elementary and Stafford High School ( the old one).
Stafford sure has changed since then! I first came here in the mid 80s and it’s changed a lot since then too.

@@glendaalmeda3318 this area could have easily been made walkable. It’s horrible that it wasn’t planned out that way

Great point about the employment situation if you don’t drive. Thank you for your comment
Stafford is overpopulated. The people are all transients. Traffic is horrific. It was once a wonderful place, then everyone moved here.

Commute to and fro Stafford and DC is the same as to and fro Chantilly reston Herndon or Ashburn to DC.
