- Virginia, a southeastern U.S. state, stretches from the Chesapeake Bay to the Appalachian Mountains, with a long Atlantic coastline.
It's one of the 13 original colonies, with historic landmarks including Monticello, founding father Thomas Jefferson’s iconic Charlottesville plantation.
When it comes to the best places to live in the United States, Virginia is among the top contenders.
Centrally located in the Mid-Atlantic region on the east coast of the United States, Virginia is an ideal spot to settle down.
Its location allows easy access to the North and the South of the U.S. eastern part.
Boasting all four seasons and beautiful mountains in the western part of Virginia, as well as miles of sandy ocean beaches to the east, this state is beautiful year-round.
With a bustling capital toward the south in Richmond and Alexandria to the north, Virginia isn’t just for lovers, it’s for everyone.
This is one of those all-inclusive states that remain appealing to everyone - the young and old, parents and their kids, millennials, and retirees.
Moreover, Virginia has the 11th highest per-capita income in America, and it homes four of the 10 wealthiest U.S. counties: Loudoun County, Falls Church City, and Fairfax County, as well as Arlington County.
Healthcare is a big deal in this state, and there is significant opportunity for economic growth, with plenty of jobs for anyone interested in working for the federal government.
The Jamestown Settlement and Colonial Williamsburg are living-history museums reenacting Colonial and Revolutionary-era life.
Agriculture has always been a key contributor to the Virginia economy, and today 30% of the land remains devoted to farming.
Other key industries in Virginia are the military, government services, and technology, with Virginia having the highest concentration of technology workers of any state.
Here are the 10 best places to live in Virginia:
1. Leesburg. (Affordable place with high education)
2. Williamsburg. (For education, travel)
3. Blacksburg. (Safe city, low cost of living, best place to retire)
4. Alexandria. (Best downtown, with lots of jobs)
5. Chesapeake. (Best overall quality of life, low cost of living)
6. Charlottesville. (Best overall city)
7. Virginia Beach. (Best place to retire)
8. Richmond. (cheap place to live, good for education)
9. Arlington. (Best overall city)
10. Vienna (Best overall city)
Thanks for watching this video. I hope it's useful for you.

I believe all of your crime numbers are understated especially in Richmond.
Richmond and Virginia Beach are on the higher end for Virginia, but other places, especially Alexandria (my hometown) have low rates. I have lived throughout Virginia, and every time I move, I check crime statistics in my target areas and realize how spoiled I've been by growing up where the crime rate per 100k is in the hundreds, not thousands. I toyed with a move to West Virginia, and the staggering crime rates changed my mind. Hampton, Portsmouth, and Petersburg have the state's highest crime rates.
Nice Video Dude!
Virginia was the best place I ever lived. I lived in Fairfax, Alexandria, and Woodbridge. Loved it and I'd go back in a heartbeat.
If I may ask, that was a lot of good knowledge you just said there what areas are from Lee the most affordable, but also very nice and safe if you want to consider growing a family
I live there
You did a GREAT job of picking out the most horribly expensive places to live in the Commonwealth. Nice places to visit, but not to live if you are on a budget. I was born and raised in VA, and the only one in your list I might consider is Blacksburg, and it is growing so fast and so congested, I would have to think long and hard about it.
having lived in VA for 41 years, i agree with everything you just said. i think the median house prices used in this video are made up
@@lindapalmer4515 clearly you’ve never left southern Virginia lmaooo
I agree with all you just said
Alexandria is my hometown, and I've also lived in Arlington, Fairfax, and Middleburg/Upperville in Loudoun. I've lived in Rockbridge Baths, near Lexington, in Monroe (outside Lynchburg), and Lovingston in Nelson County. The more rural places are spectacular, but jobs are scarce and services are non-existent. I spent the first four months in Nelson trying to find a primary care physician accepting new patients, and ended up going to Cville instead, a 2-hour round trip.
Living in the more densely populated NOVA suburbs is absolutely more expensive, but you get what you pay for. Services are amazing, schools are among the best in the country, and the standard of living is higher. Medical care, emergency response times (EMS/fire services), crime is low (which surprised me, as I'd assumed that more rural areas were safer), and salaries are higher. Jobs tend to match the COL in a particular area, so it's more about amenities, QOL, education, and employment opportunities for me. I still head down to Roseland for killer views and Saunders Brothers peaches, but head home to NOVA once I get my fix. Luckily, there is no shortage of options throughout the state.
@@firstnamelastname2948 south Va is the best place in the world
Love your videos
Fully agree ♥️✌️🇨🇦
Good to know!
Thank you 🙏
I guess Southwest VA doesn’t exist. Abingdon has the state creeper trail and the Barter Theater and lots of little shops. It’s in the Appalachian Mountains and there are lots of professional wealthy people, if all you care about is money. Virginia does NOT stop at Roanoke. Our mountains are beautiful.
MY HOMETOWN ❤️❤️❤️
Most of the citizens you have mentioned are incredibly expensive to live in
She said the cost of living in VB "is relatively low". Lies all around
@@sbaxter3252 It is relatively low, relative being the operative term. Relative to jobs, housing, and surrounding areas, it is. I have family there, and it's definitely more affordable than NOVA or Middleburg/Upperville.
But salaries are higher there, too. In less costly areas, jobs pay much less and are in much shorter supply.
I like your videos! My name is Randall J. Borden, I been a dedicated legal advocate for clients throughout Virginia and Maryland, handling litigation involving all aspects of family and estate law.
I'm from Newport News Virginia ❤️
Cheers to your from your neighbor #Hampton
Greetings from Norfolk

Cool video Thanks for sharing your time with us 2 Canadians living on the Gulf of Mexico sending support to you Cheers J&D ✌️✌️
♥️🙏🇺🇲🇲🇽🇨🇦🙏♥️
Well I'll be moving down there soon becuase of a job I acquired hopefully everything goes well for me
I would like to ask when was this video done. You need to do a new one please do not mislead people. You have to correct this. You did not mention any of Loudoun County since this is the number 1 most expensive county and 4 is Fairfax county in the USA 🇺🇸.
Facts upon facts.
Leesburg is Loudoun, and they quoted the median home price. I live in Fairfax, and it's expensive, similar to Alexandria and Arlington, but jobs are plentiful and median incomes are high. When I rented a cabin near Wintergreen in Central Virginia, my rent was cheap, but services were non-existent and my electric rate was insane. Highest electric bills I've had in my life. It all evens out.
Stay out of Loudon county if you value your child's future. Schools are running amok.
I like how they showed Norfolk scenery when showed Virginia beach
Actually they showed the Norfolk scenery when they talked about Chesapeake. I've lived in Virginia Beach for over 30 years, Virginia Beach is much more than the oceanfront.
BTW Leesburg was built in 1740; not 1958. It’s charming, colonial downtown attracts many visitors.
Should say, the ten best cities, there is a difference!🤗🇵🇷
stop telling people about how dope VA is please im trying to get a house >:|
Good luck! 😊
This the one, there ain't shit any where 🙃
we got one yesterday :o it was your luck, stay blessed internet stranger
😊
Living in NOVA (Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax and Washington DC) rentals can be almost $3k-$5k per month!
Rent: about $2500 low.
Electric/Water: $125-$200
HOA: $300
$15 minimum wage doesn't pay the bills!
Must earn atleast $100k to live comfortably!
Otherwise move!!!!
Great Vid.
I've lived in Bedford County Virginia all my life. I've always though it is unique because of what it borders.
The Blueridge mountains from the SW to the north. Which the Appalachian Trail follows the county border.
James River to the north.
The city of Lynchburg to the east.
Smith Mountain lake with 500 miles of shoreline to the south and the city of Roanoke to the SW.
Plus, the beautiful landscape.
I can't imagine living anywhere else.
I forgot to mention we have the National D-Day memorial here.
Sounds great! I should tell all my family from the north to move to Bedford! Thanks!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️
I used to live in Virginia but moved there when I was 9 months old in June 1989. First, moved to Fredericksburg. A year later, moved to Woodbridge. A couple of years later, moved to Alexandria which is short-term but is a long story. In the year 1994. Moved back to Woodbridge in the apartment complex until moving to the last house in Dale City. Lived in the last house in Virginia from 1994 to 2021 until my family and I moved back to Georgia since my dad retired from working at Pentagon. What I missed about Virginia is 7-11, Kings Dominion, VA Beach, public transit, parks, libraries, arcades, pools, my favorite malls and restaurants.
Grew up in fxburg, so far my favorite small town
You miss 7-11???
@@Mark-er7zd yes, but it doesn't have one in my home state and I have to end up going to Circle K or Sun Stop Gas Station to grab some hot cooked foods, a cup of soda, and snacks.
@@unexpectedbunny4816 I was raised in the suburbs while I was in Virginia. My hometown in Bainbridge, GA has a hood atmosphere.
Leesburg is about 1hr away from DC and very close to WV. You forgot to mentioned Fairfax, Falls Church, Mclean, and Reston. All expensive to live there now but where isn’t nowadays
Reston is Arlington county
Virginia is a beautiful state
Crazy the areas in northern VA my parents grew up now are areas that the avg home goes for 1mil dollars. Definitely wasn’t the case in the 70s-80s
Interesting...
I think this video uses average home values from many years ago, and does not reflect what it currently costs to buy a home here. This overview seems rather superficial and sounds more like marketing speak than it does a real "review" of the "best places to live in Virginia". (that computerized voice is also annoying)
Home prices have rocketed everywhere, not just here. Though those prices are now higher, the relative merits of each place hold up.
Nice
I've lived in Virginia ON and OFF throughout most of my life, starting when my dad's military career brought him (and the family) to the Commonwealth. I've seen a lot of changes in VA, including cultural ones. It's no longer the prominent southern state that it once was, as an influx of transplants has descended on the state. MANY of these transplants are from Northeastern states. The POPULATED eastern section of the state (from the DC suburbs down I-95 to Richmond and then southeast on I-64 to Hampton Roads) controls the state politics. >>> Virginia is NOT a low-cost-of-living state, unless you reside in a more rural area of the state. Property taxes are quite high, sales tax on groceries, personal property taxes on your vehicles and retirement pensions are NOT tax exempt. >>> Due to a career assignment, I currently reside in Virginia. Once that obligation ends, I intend to leave Virginia. You can probably guess where I'll be going.
🙏🕺🏽👦🏻 new dance video please Comment like
Lordy I live in va and do not believe this video..the last trip to va Beach was my last..the new roads are a driving nightmare. Richmond and Petersburg are so scary no one goes there..roanoke and surrounding areas are awesome..lynchburg is fabulous .. pittsylvania county is fabulous..Blacksburg is great very attractive..Luray cavern areas are easy to drive and live in. Then the famous Smith mountain lake.. its this part of va you want to live
Have fun driving in NoVa though
The average home cost in Leesburg is over 750 k now . Not affordable at all unless you have one of the grossly overpaid government jobs to help you pay for it . Sure many can afford these No Va cities because many , but not all , jobs pay very high wages . Traffic is now the worst in the US and many consider this a serious issue . School are great though and lots of restaurants to enjoy.
totally agree on Leesburg. We just sold our house and moved south - Hanover County near Montpelier. The pace of life is much slower and traffic is almost non-existing.
Fredericksburg, VA was not mentioned. Fredericksburg is a great place to live. 1 hour both ways to DC or Richmond. Very historical and low crime. Downtown is so beautiful.
Charlottesville and affordability does not mix at all 🤣🤣
In future i'll come insha allah... My fmly lives there.. ❤️
Lees burg inexpensive? I have friends who live there, their house is over a million dollars. I lived in Vienna for over 30 years. It is not a sleepy little town close to the big city. It is an urban area with big city right there, like Tyson Corner. I also live in Alexandria and taught in Arlington. Since Arlington use to be the County of Alexandria, you cant tell where one ends and the other begins. Definitely needs an update.
Grew up in Northern Virginia…… was amazing then ….. now …… ?!?! Go south and West …. Completely amazing 🤩 Rural is great 👍 takes you a while to get to cities Fredricksburg Charlottesville Culpeper Northern Virginia ….. but consider traffic in these places are the worst in the COUNTRY takes you 30/45 minutes to get 15 miles …… if your stuck in rush hour can be hours …… the cities you mention are some of the most expensive in the COUNTRY. Fact Check
0:35 that is not Virginia. Our beaches are not that nice.
I've been living in Arlington, VA in the downtown urban area near 2 blocks to the metro station for 30 years which I love, however, it's time for me to move out to Prince William County end of December to see how I feel and stay there a least two between three years. We will buy a house in Northern Virginia nearby the metro station and workplace as well.
what downtown Arlington is a county not a city
@@eawatahatanguatama383 Arlington is a CITY in Virginia with a population of 236,434. Arlington is in Arlington County and is one of the best places to live in Virginia. Living in Arlington offers residents an urban feel and most residents rent their homes.
@@c.mcmillan4323 it is not a city just because it looks likes one dont make it one is a county
@@eawatahatanguatama383 Haven't you lived in the Arlington County area before, Hiawatha, yes or no? I used to live in the downtown area for 30 years from a condo high-rise tall building but I can't tell you and give the name of the downtown area in public, sorry. Arlington, Virginia is an urban county. Maybe you're right not a city.
VERY SUPER
Is this the same Va. I live in ? Don't think so.None stop road construction and stop and go traffic.Va Beach is a joke the locals stop going there years ago.
Exactly! Been here 40yrs and im not seeing what thi video talking about
Leesburg was not established in 1958 more like 1758 and is named after Robert E Lee, also the average home cost in Leesburg is 700k…
🙏😊
Somehow, Williamsburg having 4 million strangers trapsing through town every year is not a selling point in my book.
Arlington is expensive also.
This video did a good job on pointing out good places to live based on job, retiree and education, thought I think the order is a bit wonky. Does Virginia have higher taxes than some states, yes. Does Virginia have lower taxes than some states, yes. It is all relatives on your income and what it are use too. This is list is based on a number of things than just expenses. Also I know people have feelings about crime in their area but this video is to appeal to a wide audience not living in Virginia. The fact is that Virginia has a crime index rate half of what the entire nation is and most is not all places named have a crime index rate that is half the state. To say that these area are so unsafe as to stay away would be about the same as saying don’t live in 75% of places in the US as it is to dangerous.
Next episode will be on
Chicago, IL
Richmond is one of the most crime ridden cities in America I know that for a fact.
Do Netherlands
I noticed that this video is posted on 05/14/2022. I live in Northern VA and Arlington and Leesburg used to have one of the best school. However, the school standards have gone down and it's going down the toilet. The author doesn't have a clue on terrible school systems since the pandemic.
Currently in Alexandria Virginia.
Need to move!
Help!
How is it living in Norfolk area or Chesapeake plan on moving to Virginia but not sure at all
Lees burg is on every ones list. So now it is not a budget place anymore more. The best places are the ones that are not on UA-cam
Been in Harrisonburg for 42 years and don't plan on leaving anytime soon.
BUT the Golden Corral closed!!
Waymin, lol, I know y'all lying......when did Va beach start having palm trees😂😂😂Im fr Hampton. Y'all wrong
You might want to revise your assessment of these places. They must have paid the editor to say nice things about these areas of Virginia. Try again.
Farmville is nice to live but don't try to hire any businesses locally to provide services or big ticket items because they are way too greedy and borderline crooked. Get your home repairs and basic services from Richmond or Charlottesville businesses.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for not mentioning the absolute best place to live, which is where I have lived for twenty years. It's becoming a little too populated for me, but it's still a jewel in the state. Just enough in the country and yet ten minutes from anything you need, very little traffic and beautiful walks. Affordable, accessible, upscale and convenient. Let's keep it a secret.
is it near i-81?
damn ok boomer
Stafford?
Why keep it a secret that seems selfish
People moving to VA from midwest need to know about copperheads.
Just visited Ann Harbor to see family. The roads could be better, that's my only complaint lol. And they told me property taxes are to high.
When i hear alexandria in virginia ,my mind is "the walking dead"
Leesburg is no longer a budget living place.
Please make a video about Maryland
Thanks 😊
Just a quick warning - Maryland is more expensive than VA.
Arlington is a county, town of Vienna is in Fairfax county. The Commonwealth is awesome, native here and I love it. Lot's of great places to call home and some real s#it holes too. Just check things out for yourself. 👍
Town of Vienna is an independent town, not part of a county. Part of Tyson's that has a Vienna address is called Vienna, but like the Alexandria part of Fairfax County and the City of Alexandria, they are separate entities. I believe they were speaking of the town of Vienna here, rather than Tyson's, given the density figures quoted.
@@SheilaR.08 Vienna is Fairfax county
Love my state i live here in Alexandria and i enjoy a lot things to do outdoor play and many histórical towns aroud and the best very close to DC the capital ,Arlington and Oxon Hill Maryland and the New Casino and National Harbor i never going to move from here is perfect low crime and nice People of all races im Salvadoream decent and i never felt discriminate really really good People here come invest and live here
Alexandria native here, and I agree! I have always loved the diversity of the area. I moved south of Charlottesville for a few years, and it was strange. Beautiful place, and nice people, but not diverse at all. Cville is, because of UVA, but not the surrounding areas.
@@SheilaR.08 Yes friend is really cool nice Virginians are great !! Saludos blessings 😊😉👋🙏🤝🙌
Lynchburg, Roanoke are better than some of these cities
Both are getting worse in regards to crime
As a Virginian, why do you show video clips of places that are clearly not in Virginia if your video is about the best places to live in Virginia?
I was born and raised in Arlington. Shocked it’s #9 and lower than Richmond 😂
Definitely not a place to live, especially if you have children and don't make 6 figures. I have lived in northern Virginia for almost 5 years, and I can tell you it's not the place to be and the schools are terrible.
For all people commenting...could you pls recommend a Town in. Virginia that you actually like and would be a great place to live for a middle income person...thank you
Shawsville is a quiet peaceful little town between Christiansburg and Roanoke very low crime good schools and a Blue ridge mountains all around.
You might try Bastian or perhaps Cedar Bluff.
Fredericksburg. Winchester. Culpeper.
No love for Smithfield...
Nope, they trifling!!! It's cool though we shall keep making there bacon, sausage, etc #surry
VA a top contender? Be prepared to pay much in taxes and numerous side taxes just to own a vehicle!
Worth it. There's no "side tax" for vehicles, just personal property tax.
@@SheilaR.08 side tax? You pay that auto property tax every year. Here in Florida you pay it one time. And then a yrly reg fee of like 30 bucks. No state inspection and no city/cty sticker either.
@@mjmack7353 holy shit r
4rea
The mid west has the highest taxes! Virginia has some of the best interstate and roads in the country. It has great schools and universities compared to a lot of other states. And it's becoming a great economic engine.
@@Larant88 aw ha ha ha, lived in that nightmare of a place for way to long, you cldnt pay me to go back!
The best place to live is that where I live: the highlands in Chesterfield
🤫Shhh, don't tell 'em. Lol, I rather keep it to myself
Lol. Richmond Virginia has a terrible crime rate..
I turned it off when you recommended vienna.
I would give back my British citizenship to return to Virginia, I'm a USA Naturalized Citizen. I was pushed out by one Fed Agent. No trial just calls late at night threatening. In 2010 I had given two files. One file contained Bin Ladens location, sent. Certified mail to NSA/CIA/Whitehouse. Each got copy - it was prior to raid..... Plus meeting with security. Then the raid took place all matched..... Location/date of raid precise/seal team 6 - plus risks attached .... The eventual helicopter vortex / funeral at sea on carrier include time. After the raid their were arguments, that's why in my view why the initial storyline changed - although the salient facts remained the same. I love the USA - nothing like it. I had been living in Old Town Manassas - Wellington Place with my then Govt wife. We both ended up on the street, she had been in just short of 30 years with the government. In the UK the marriage came to an end.... UK government refused her entry at Heathrow - possibly coincidence I don't know. Anyway I lost all that meant anything to me. In all of this my country the USA came, and still does come first. Since leaving so much has happened in the in the United States but it remains the very best in the world. (In the compound smouldering ashes piled up - yet the copter although confined did not spread them.... So would you burn what could be vital Intel, only if you already read it! But it was reported Laden's men lit it... But the copter would have blown it everywhere. .Of course I know more but that's enough. . As I say it's a fine detail to what ended a successful raid - yes I told the truth because I want home - I earned it)
Um, is this video just aimed at transplants that make money? My wife and I moved about 8-years ago and we make in the very low 6-figures our house cost $450,000 and that's not big city housing. We live in a nice town called Herndon about 30-40 miles outside of DC.
😃
It’s expensive but with a good government job u will be str8 in Arlington and Alexandria u right by DC and u can have fun in those two places plenty of jobs and can sleep peacefully
Not as long as youngkin is gov
Ugh, yep. Already counting the days.
Arlington is a County not a city. There are cities inside Arlington but it is the county
No respect for our beautful Southwestern Virginia
She thinks the state ends at Blacksburg
The only thing i can say i dont like about Virginia where i live now is hight taxroll also the payment of tax for using of the road every year and house and rent prices are going up so hight because of the develotment of the many cities in the state specially fairfax Alexandria, Arlington, woodbrige ,vienna and Tysons Corner a big growing City near by Alexandria is beautifull modern New but spency to live now but still you can manage to live here saving or finding a really good job around to pay the Bills is nice i can say and many things to do you never get bored trust me 😊😉
You said the employment rate in vienna is 3%. That sounds awful
Probably meant unemployment.
540
That's where I grew up
MOST OF THE PLACES LISTED WERE EITHER IN DC OR RICHMOND.
VERY EXPENSIVE FOR MOST PEOPLE ESPECIALLY RETIREES.
THERE ARE TOWNS SUCH AS HARRISONBURG/WINCHESTER/WARRENTON/LEXINGTON AND FREDERICKSBURG TO CONSIDER.
تحيات ابو حمزة 🤣
Thai entire video is BS cause I live in Virginia. 4-10 are not good places to live at all. 1-3 do have low crime and nice places to live. But 4-10 has a really high crime rate. Don’t listen to this video if u wanna live in VA.
I live in va and totally agree
Not clear what you mean by 4-10, but if you mean all the towns from #4 through #10, you're wrong. Vienna, for example, has very low crime. I live just down 123 from there, and can attest. I lived just outside of Cville, and spent considerable time there without issue. The places I'd avoid are Hampton, Portsmouth, and parts of Richmond.
Vienna is nice Charlottesville has no crime
I have lived here since 1983. Hampton roads is economically depressed. If you are Military or section 8(welfare) you can get the nicest apartments or house because the rent is guaranteed! If you are worker that is just above the poverty rage, then life will be hard. The real estate market wants that easy money. Poor people live in luxury apartments paid for by the government. If you are 🤍 white, Don't move to Portsmouth VA. With a mostly black population, you will be subjected to many rude, aggressive,racist people who will do there best to annoy you when ever possible. I look forward to leaving.
I just left Norfolk and it was one of the worst places I've ever lived.
You neglected to mention the horrific traffic on the Southside (Tidewater area) as well as the mess up in Northern Virginia. Too much traffic.
I'm retired now and thankfully don't have to deal with that mess any more.
Appalachia mountains is the best place in Virginia but you want like it you can't see at nite we don't allow street lights and hard top roads in my neck of woods
Falls church, fairfax not on the list? You have NO idea what you are talking about
All you know about is eastern part of the state you need to do more research
Leesburg's schools are rated A+? I heard about the (Ugh!) critical race theory.
They should absolutely teach the truthful history of a country founded by colonists who committed genocide against the native people, then built an entire country on the backs of enslaved people, fighting a war to retain the vile practice, and following it with segregation, red-lining, and systemic racism that persists to this day. That said, despite the natterings of the gullible, CRT is a graduate level course taught to law students, not elementary school kids. Loudoun is gorgeous, but there seems to be some bizarre gathering of teabagger spawn out there, dragging down the commonwealth. Mayhem at their school board meetings regularly making the news is not a good look.
CRT is Amerikkkan history literally look up the history of Blacksburg Roanoke Richmond
#7 being Virginia Beach 😂😂😂😂 you can tell they just looked up major cities in VA 😂😂😂
I have lived in this State going on 40 years. I don't know where you are getting your information, but you are way off base. This State has become a Liberal Shit Hole in the past 25 years. Crime has gone way up in the last 15 years, and Constitutional rights have been thrown out of the window. Pay is low, taxes are rising, and jobs are scarce. I have lived in Fredericksburg and now just outside of Richmond. I left Maryland in 1982 and Fredericksburg in 2006 to get away from exactly what I am experiencing here. Now I am looking at North or South Carolina.
Don't let the door hit ya! Native Virginian here, my hometown is Alexandria. I'm a lifelong liberal and love our diversity. Your constitutional rights are under no threat here, except as you might imagine them to different from the reality. Pay is excellent here, in NOVA particularly, schools are among the best in the country, and services/amenities are exceptional. Enjoy whichever actual shithole you wind up in. 😂
@@SheilaR.08 My point exactly. Liberals like you are what ruined the State .
100% correct.
Virginia has gone downhill in so many ways. People are leaving the state in droves. I've lived here most of my life coming from North Dakota as a child & I so desperately want to leave Virginia but my husband isn't ready just yet.
Leave him behind ;). Just kidding. Lived in this state all my life and it is not what I remember. Crime, education with bias, too expensive for many to afford. Virginia got taken over by the federal government. Being the suburb to DC meant folks from all over moved in and brought their federally funded dreams with them. The outer areas in the valley are overrun with drugs. City folks left the DC Metropolitan area because they could not afford to live there. What they brought with them was not good. Now Fairfax is New York. WooHOO
I'm saving up to leave this state too. I hope your husband realizes there are much better places to live soon. I'm praying for yah 👍
Winchester is top 2 and it ain't 2.
Some of them numbers off
This video is great! Virginia is definitely a safe state…northern virginia to be more specific. Diversity is great, housing is not for the average which makes the state attractive for well educated people.
Don’t come here!
