Thank God was living at Charlottesville VA USA 🇺🇸.
Colonial Abingdon. Rich in history.
And Culpeper is also a delightful growing community. Fine eating establishments, newly built homes, accessibility to lots of different and new grocery stores. Reasonable prices for homes. Good tax structure (so far). Lol. But one never knows what can happen later. 😊
Glasgow VA is a beautiful scenic area
@@bennygreene1421 Barter Theater, King Arts Center, the former VA Intermont College. Abingdon IS VA.
Edit: I forgot those other attractions are in Bristol. But Bristol is VA as well
9 Best Things About PackAndGo:
9) English is not their primary language.
8) They have never been to Virginia.
7) Google Maps is too hard for them.
6) They assume living somewhere guarantees a salary range.
5) Pulls property values out of their a$$.
4) Makes crime rate claims without explanation.
3) Not sure of the difference between county and city so they just use both descriptions in the same sentence.
2) Turns annoying music to a volume of distraction.
1) Names Falls Church as a Best Place, but confuses it with the city of Alexandria (?).
haha. yeah, this just about sums it up.
Agree, How can they left out Alexandria old town and Fairfax city.
You summed this video up perfectly!!🤣🤣
Yep, I live in No. Va. and it most definitely should NOT have made this list.
what is the problem if english is not a primary language tho?
who ever did this list doesn't know anything about Virginia.
As soon as it said Virginia beach I already knew lol
Agreed!
Well then paste a link to a better video smarty pants I want to settle in VA in 2024 after the military and I want a high income, low crime place to raise the kids and start a business.
@@chrisbeasley1777 those don't really exist with the varying incomes especially with a lot of poorer people living only a few blocks away from extremely rich people
@@chrisbeasley1777 but really most places are like that. But this list is really not great considering the put Richmond in the top 10. That place is the worst. I have lived in Alexandria almost my whole life. It's pretty dang nice. Very expensive but there are some affordable places as well. I live 5 mins from Mount Vernon, 10 mins from Old Town Alexandria, and like 15 20 from DC. So the historical sites a short drive from me is a really cool thing that I have grown to appreciate more the older I get
I Love the Upper Neck of Virginia. Small communities and slow paced country living. Has all the amenities you need. Lower taxes here, people are polite and cost of living is so much better than these listed. I have 3.2 acres right on the water waiting for me. I'll be retiring soon and cant wait to build our forever home and live a much better country life!
@James Smart very well. Thanks for asking
@James Smart Over where?
@James Smart yes.
@James Smart Maryland
Northern Neck?
I lived in Woodstock, VA for 11 years. I love Virginia. I hope I I'll be back to VA soon.
Yes, and make it a NOT so dense location...cause all chaos is bout to break out. God bless!
I lived in Williamsburg for 10 yrs, but now live in Florida. I really miss Va!
@@hellolove4810 😂
@@cynthiakhan5483 whenever I visit Florida I miss Virginia backroads
GO VA
Arlington Cemetery and Mount Vernon are not in Falls Church. The former is in Arlington County. The latter is about 20 miles away, much closer to the city of Alexandria than to Falls Church.
I don't think this video is trying to deliver accurate information about the region and more to make money off views.
Yeah Arlington National Cemetery is in Arlington seems hard to miss.
Yup
Yes I caught that
Lol they said Richmonds rent is $900. Good luck finding that in a good neighborhood. Just FYI, lots of dangerous neighborhoods in Richmond.
Yaaaaaaaasssss this lady ain’t never been to Richmond
Richmond is awesome I love the Northeast cities like Newark ,Philly, New York Richmond gives u that Northeastern feel without the Northeastern cost of living tons to do and see its not to fast and not to slow just right and I'm the perfect location right down the road from DC about 4 hrs from Philly and about 5 and half hrs from New York City should I say more one word describes Richmond Amazing ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤.
Why was Reston, VA, Sterling, VA & Ashburn, VA, Herndon, VA, South Riding, VA not mentioned at all??!! Loudoun County & Fairfax County Virginia are the most affluent & beautiful counties in Northern Virginia!! This list is bogus!!
Not only VA but the entire US.
Right! They completely blew off the beautiful City of Alexandria as well.
I’m from Virginia, and I hate the changes made to NoVa and Central Virginia towns like Manassas and C’ville. It’s sad. Even with all that, I’d move back in a minute. BTW-where did these people get their information ??
They are just wrong lol. They got their information from google or something
I grew up in Manassas...moved to Winchester...which is absolutely beautiful
Dont move back, unless your young have a business degree..than ya, lots of money to make.. way overcrowded..its like living in NY.
@@terriebreezee9436 Manassas was so nice. I worked in Leggett’s on school breaks and in summer. I had the pleasure of visiting a couple of older ladies living on Grant Ave; they appreciated the service I gave them and had me to lunch. I felt like a Princess. They both had maids and cooks whose families had provided household help for generations. It was another way of life, the likes of which I had never seen. We used to go to the little tavern, I think it was Murphy’s.
Manassas and centreville are not central Virginia
Richmond is not that great...murder, drugs and crime is up. Our downtown is barely existent, alot of homelessness, and no good paying iobs. We do have a few good restaurants and the James River. We're also in between the beach and mountains, which is convenient.
True im about 45 minutes from there not saying its terrible but its ok.
@@jazz2428 Murder, drugs and crime are up everywhere...what else he got?
Hello i don't live in city, but i work in Richmond .some areas are not good but Richmond has Scott's addition, Manchester, downtown growth
Richmond could be a lot better, they just have to get it together! And they need to do a better job of housing the homeless and get the rates down like in Austin, Texas or San Diego, CA.
Lifelong Virginia resident, Bon Air resident for 20+ years.
Allow me to add a con to all.the pros listed. Lots of stillwater ponds and lakes means the late spring and summer months are also known as "The Mosquito-ing". They aren't as big as some of their counterparts further south and in Texas, but they make up for it in numbers. Off or equivalent should be a constant companion.
Noooooooo!!!! I hate that fact. (But I appreciate you telling us about that. Super important to know! Mosquitoes just LOVE me, sadly.)
I live here. And, i agree Richmond is amazing
what about the situation of odd jobs there?
I live in Winchester...among the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains...a beautiful little city with lots of history...you should check it out sometime
Does Winchester have high rent even for seniors?
Yes. Winchester is becoming just as expensive as counties closer to DC
woodstock, fortvalley , edinburg winchester so many amazing places in Virginia
I love Edinburg. Ah fly-fishing Mossey Creek. Murray’s Fly Shop, an institution
"If you live in Arlington everything is running smoothly" of course while it's saying that it is showing a cemetery
We moved to Fredericksburg when we retired 10 years ago. Worst decision we could have made. We lived in Greenville, SC for 30 years. Moved to VA to be closer to our daughter, son-in-law and grandson. They live in Arlington about 40 miles from us. That is the closet we could get with housing prices. Fredericksburg is 40 years behind what we left in Greenville. It is in the middle of that state along the I-95 corridor. It is not easy to get anywhere. No local tv news and to get a decent station on the radio, it comes from DC. A “local” newspaper that has little local news. And the weather is awful. It goes from winter to summer with very little spring and fall. The only area on the list that is halfway decent, is Charlottesville. But it more expensive than indicated in the video. If you are moving to VA, do your research and good luck.
Those of us who live in the actual middle of the state consider Fredericksburg to be in the northern Virginia area.......and you can have it!
@@oldnavcat I told my daughter we live in SONOVA - Southern Northern VA. Appreciate you reading my comment.
So basically 2 places than 9. DC suburbs and VA beach suburbs. There are other places in VA other than the 2 big urban centers
Also had a couple of places that are in Richmond basically Hampton Roads Northern Virginia and Richmond
But if you need to make money, those are the only options
Colonial Abingdon rich in history.
Also Damascus, if you love the country.
How about The Roanoke area. By the way, Arlington National Cemetery and Mt Vernon aren’t anywhere close to Falls Church. The Northern Neck is also a great area for retirees.
Just watched a video that listed Roanoke as one of the worst places to live in VA
Right😂 Arlington is literally in the name
Nature is wonderful down there and it’s very affordable. But it’s in the middle of nowhere. It’s dead comparing to NoVa and Central Virginia when it comes to jobs opportunities, cultural, night life… Northern Neck is great area for fishing, once a month, and that’s it🙂
Arlington National Cemetery is within walking distance of Falls church...my daily commute to walk. Both Fall Church and the Arlington National Cemetery are with 45 mins of George Washington's Mount Vernon.
When I saw testimonies all over the place I thought it was made up stories till i was convinced and gave her a try and honestly i don't regret the move i made because i invested in a big way
I don’t know who did this tape, but they are nuts. I had lived there and it’s not what they say. Traffics is like being on I-495 “Beltway”. I now live in the West part of VA and I love it. I been in the Mong. Country for 22 years. It has everything any one would need or wants. The small towns, farm area’s. Just check out the area.
You got that right.. just got back from Mt. RUSHMORE S. DAKOTA..loved it there.. I just might retire to S. Dakota.
Shhhh… we’re a hidden secret :)
i’ve lived in va my whole life n sum of these places u never wanna move to
Which places are those ?
For the record...Vienna is the largest TOWN in Virginia and Falls Church( where I grew up) is the smallest city...quirk in the Virginia state charter establishes incorporated citys as politically separate from county's...so while Falls Church City has its own government...police...tax code...etc...Vienna is part of Fairfax County
Alexandria shares the same municipal status as Falls Church...as does Richmond
My x husband’s family lived in Falls Church, we moved to Alexandria (Franconia) after the wedding. Sure has changed.
Alexandria and Alexandria City are two separate things. Alexandria is part of Fairfax County. Alexandria City is similar to Falls Church
$900 will rent a real dump in Richmond. If you want anything remotely decent, you’re looking at $1500. The same applies for a house under $200K. You’re not getting much and it won’t be in a decent neighbourhood.
Tap into historic tax credits and a little sweat equity and you are golden!
She missed that part about all the traffic in northern Virginia
I'm moved to S. DAKOTA black Hills or near Sturgis..loved it..
"If you live in [town north of Fredericksburg] you will enjoy leisurely 10-mile commutes of an hour or more without subjecting your car to the stress of getting above 2nd gear!"
During the early/mid-90s, when I was in college, I worked at a Mobil gas station of I-95 in Woodbridge. People driving through from other states _especially on weekends) would be, like, *"What the hell happened? Was there an accident? Was part of the interstate shut down?"* and I'd say something like *"What happened? It's Tuesday."*
Around 2000, I worked in Alexandria and was taking grad school classes at the Strayer campus on Eisenhower Avenue. I could get caught in traffic driving down 95 South after 9 PM.
I lived in Stafford VA It is so beautiful and prosperous in Stafford right now
Shenandoah Valley is the best place to live in VA!!
I'm from Chesapeake and I love traveling to the VALLEY!
Chesapeake is wonderful too!!!
Hi, how're you doing? I'm sorry to intrude on your profile. I was on the news update when i came across your profile, i wanted to know the beautiful lady behind this wonderful profile,I couldn't let go, so i decided to message you, so we could be friends and know more about each other if you don't mind. It's that really you in that photo?
I live there :)
Avoid those cities that are in northern Virginia and the Peoples Republic Of Charlottesville. The DC blight is heavy in those cities. Central Virginia is much more friendly and livable.
Sooo true
I'm from Northern VA in Stafford it looks just the same as anywhere in Virginia really but I can agree Central Virginia is better
There’s No place in Va like the Shenandoah Valley the most beautiful place in the state rich history the Blue ridge, Appalachians and the Massanutten so much to do and see . Great place to call Home .
Virginia Beach looks nicer than I had imagined as a big city. Didn’t know much about this region.
As long as you don’t want to drive down the strip, more than once per night. Make a circle, and you get a ticket. And make sure you are not near the beach, when all the rappers come to town. They do that once a year. The had a big shoot out last year. Basically, don’t live near, or go to the beach, and you will love living in Va. Beach.
I live 4 blocks from the oceanfront! Very safe and friendly place to live. However, rental rates are much higher than this video cited! Lots more to do also. If you're an outdoor person, you will love it here!
@@threepointservices-tractor4832 What? I live in the 757 I drive the strip 4 times before no tickets what are you talking about?🤔
@@MrChosenOne757 It used to be that way. I don't go to the beach much anymore so it might have changed. But I remember those days.
VA Beach is a shithole
I love living in this state
There is almost no one from Virginia that would have Richmond as one of the top few places to live, that is wild. 11th in nation in murders, as well as top few in other crime categories. As far as big cities in Va, you ranked Richmond over Va Beach, wtf lmao.
Really? I love it. I guess that’s why thousands of apartments are going up everywhere and folks are coming here in droves because Richmond sucks so much.
@@paulacarter9498 1. quit exaggerating you clown. 2. for 50 years the population was dropping,just in the last few years people have been moving back. 3. Nearby Petersburg is #2 and Richmond #30 in murder rate in the entire country. 4. stay your clown self in the burbs
@@757-David 1. I’m not. I’m watching it happen. 2. The population has doubled in the last 50 years. 3. It’s not Petersburg 4. I lived in Church Hill during the 80s & through the 90s so I don’t know who you think you’re talking to. (Oh yeah, clown.)
@@paulacarter9498 The population is literally way less then it was 50 years ago,why you lying. Once you blatently lie once,that brings anything else you say as questionable. Aka you live in the burbs. Richmond and Petersburg are 2 of the worst murder places in the USA and have been for a very long time, you sound super slow mentally.
@@757-David honestly, I really don’t know why you’re so worked up. Believe what you want. I don’t care.
Prices in Richmond and Bon air is a lot higher now
I spent 5 years in Ashburn. Very close to DC but very expensive.
I’m from Virginia- and this is a bad video.
I work in Arlington...a small 2 bedroom, 1 ba home is over $500,000.
Maybe they were referencing condos.
@@AskAWalker the condos aren’t much cheaper...
@@donpettitwearsdiapers they would keep em..cause it's not that serious, and Arlington is definitely not that great!
Don't Forget The Crime In Richmond
So where do u recommend ?
They really made Richmond seem great. None of it was true.
@@suzangeissler1461 SO WHERE TF DO U RECOMMEND TO LIVE?! Exactly stfu
You Got That Right ✅
@@MrSodaBelly Churchill for one while u being extra smh.
You can’t find a decent house in VA Beach under 400k or a rental under $1900
I love Virginia
I live right outside of Harrisonburg Va it’s a nice place
That's informative and helpful but why you missed Great falls and Ashburn which are so cool and peaceful places ❤
Yes. I agree. Also missed Chantilly and Centreville as well ❤
Somebody has absolutely lost their mind with the numbers that they're telling you about this state they are really out of touch and have no idea what they're talking about
Anywhere in NoVa is shit. Starbucks, Whole Foods, and Prius drivers with coexist stickers driving slow in every lane while texting on their phones.
1. Damascus
2. Abingdon
3. Honaker
Two Virginia cities that are obviously rich in history are Powhatan and Pocahontas, Virginia
Lots of history in Abingdon Virginia but a person might want to check out cost of living before moving there
I live in Timberlake, just outside of Lynchburg and it's a great area. Bedford is not bad, and Tappahannock is ok. Just my opinion
Love love love it when vids like these skip over our area. :) we’re the biggest secret in the state. :)
But I'm thinking about moving to VA and need to know... Where are you and why do you love it there?! Share the secret!
@@MamaMailisha I have a feeling that if you follow your heart, you can’t go wrong :) this is a great state. Every area has a different mannerism and type of culture. It’s not about what I love,,, it’s about what you love. :)
I love Virginia soon am done with my studies that's my final destination. #love from Poland 🎉
Which region is closest to DC?
Thank you all for your reply in advance
Williamsburg, why didn’t they mention William and Mary College? Started in the 1600s.
Surprised the Short Pump/ Twin Hickory area in the West End of Richmond (Henrico County) didn’t make the list!
It’s not as safe as other places in Virginia because it is the capital
@@madisonankofski6596 look at the crime rates of short pump. Henrico County borders Richmond. Richmond is the Capital not Henrico and Short Pump is about as far from Richmond border you can get.
Yeah, I'm surprised too. It is a great area too and quite busy!
@@timothymoore6341 Yeah that it is! I do love all of the West end though!!
Extending Metro to Tyson's Corner has led to huge increase in crime. Multiple shootings in the Malls. No parking. Horrible traffic. Overpriced. Lol
Fabulous, thank you. Good time for you
I live in Virginia and close to the Northern Virginia places listed and they look nothing like the pictures posted and are overrated.
That was a nice places 🙂. Thank you 😊.
Ok whoever made video from northern part of Va..ain't no way them other cities above Virginia Beach
Never live in these places: Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Newport news
Why
Only someone under 30 would want to live in Arlington. Ugh.
What about the thousands of single-family homes priced above $800,000 that are out of the reach of most humans under 30?
I thought it was 9 best places not 9 best cities . Ive lived in virginia all my life none of the best places were discussed in this video
Where is the best place?
I must say that knowing you is my greatest achievement in life, i receive my profit $10,000 successful, all thanks to Mrs Linda may God keep on blessing you.
I withdraw my profit every week thanks so much.
Wow I'm just shock someone mentioned expert Mrs Linda I thought I'm the only one trading with her, She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade my self.
Another great withdrawals today!! £73,500 i appreciate what you've done for me, you're the best and i promise to spread your good work, thanks so much Mrs Linda.
Yes I'm also a living testimony of expert Mrs Linda.
Mrs Linda has changed my financial status for the best.all thanks to my aunty who introduced her to me?
where you live at in Richmond for 900 dollars at a roach motel
great video
Live along 95 corridor from dc to VA beach if you want money, all others if you wanna settle down
Bon Air is in Richmond VA and Chesterfield VA, a suburb in Richmond. I feel Short Pump is better to live in than Bon Air.
Bon Air is an area in Chesterfield County, it is not a part of the city of Richmond. Chesterfield is a county but you are correct on it being a suburb though.
That is beautiful place ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
always there will be love for Virgnia
Mount Vernon is nowhere near Falls Church and Falls Church has a ton of traffic just like Vienna does.
Virginia Beach- Yes. Awesome place to be in!
Williamsburg- Has a lot of museums. If you like learning about history you should visit.
Richmond- Yes. Has many fun places to go to.
Charlottesville- Has lots of cool and fun places to go to. It's one of my favorite places to visit!
Falls Church- Haven't been there.
Vienna- Haven't been there.
Falls Church is nice
@@stinkeye460 I'm so sorry for your loss but please don't blame all of the crime on one race.
@@LunaPlaysThis I’m not. But when you see constantly on the news and in your city how they behave like animals, especially against their own, you realize what a threat they are to everyone. It’s not their race but their culture that is screwed up. Would you feel safe walking through a black neighborhood unarmed?
@@stinkeye460 Yes, I would feel safe. I respect your opinion but my point is that not all blacks are bad. If a white man had killed a black woman's son and the woman assumed all white people were cruel murderers, how would that make you feel?
@@LunaPlaysThis I agree not all blacks are criminals, but as a percentage of the population they commit the most blue collar and violent crimes. Several of my doctors are black and the few black teachers I had growing up were superb. It was a black man that gave me my start in life. Years ago i was the first jeweler in Virginia to have a black woman as a manager. I also trained a young black man to be a goldsmith and goldsmiths can be notorious petty thieves no mater what race they are. It isn't the color of your skin that defines you but the results of the culture you are a part of. All people have the ability to decide what path they take in life, too many lacks in this country choose the wrong one.
It is glorious so glorious great glorious glorious glorious to be great glorious glorious glorious America.
5:00 that’s not even America let alone Falls Church
Lmao I couldn't believe what I was seeing
Yea I was wondering what part of falls church that was
@@joshuajavier5484 they probably typed Vienna but didn’t realize it was Vienna Austria.
Fairfax and Alexandria are way way better than Richmond
was looking for a video more on the nicest sticks locations with acreage in virginia, 30mins out from big towns. Got any videos for people wanting to live in quiet more private virginia locations?
@Darklore. Check out the cities of Chesapeake and Suffolk. Both have city centers and rural parts.
Check out the towns of Amherst and Bedford and the counties of the same name. The "World According To Briggs", on UA-cam, named Amherst as the number one town for retiring or buying a house!
Leesburg, Middleburg, Winchester are suggested.
Very beautiful 😍❤
The prettiest car drive is the colonial parkway. Etween jsmextiwn and Williamsburg
This is meaning for Northern Va. Very expensive to live there. You missed the truth.
Virginia is amazing city
Blacksburg, ashburn needs to be on this list
Still very expensive to live here
yo i live here im from da news and ion never even heard of these citys nice to know we do got a suburbs in VA
Having 50+ years in the area, I can say the close-in D.C. suburbs are overrated in this video. Arlington still has many older and less maintained areas. I grew up in McLean which is slightly further out and much nicer, at least for now, as are Great Falls and others nearby areas. The whole area has been overrun by too much concrete and too many bridges and traffic lights. On the roads, there are cars everywhere and getting anywhere is time-consuming. At least property is ridiculously expensive. If you love a busy city life and don't care about traffic, crowds, and extremely high costs, you'll probably like northern Virginia (which is what it is all called).
I like this vdo ... Am frm India... Nice explanation .... Tnk u
Yeah well not all of us can afford those neighborhoods. I envy y’all who can.
If I wanted a small house on a couple acres near Dulles Airport (within about 30-40 miles) where should I look?
louden county or berryville
leesburg
For small homes, I'd suggest looking in Herndon and Reston. You're a quick ride on the metro to Dulles Airport.
Your budget will determine your market. Loudon is a little bit more expensive than some parts of Fairfax County.
Round Hill, VA
Herndon or Centerville.
U should come to Harrisonburg Va 👻
Nobody talking bout chesapeake here its beautiful really close to va beach abd has great school systems
Have you ever been to Richmond Virginia? The traffic, the one-way roads and the crime is terrible.
Nice place and venue😀
Love Virginia we have everything here!
dats a fucking cap maybe just for me in Newport news al we got is shipyard and military
love 😘
@Larry Anthony You're so right!
I’m moving from Arlington to Leesburg. Arlington is a great community, really walkable and has nice but hurried people. Arlington it is really expensive and housing costs are insane. You pay an Arlington premium for your HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services. Arlington is a culinary wasteland. You get Sysco food for exorbitant prices. Leesburg has 165 restaurants and many good ones. It is a human scale city. This is different from what Arlington has been become which is an urban, crowded, noisy city.
Know what you mean, Ballston is COMPLETELY different from 10 years ago. The Food Choices could be Better also.
All depends on what you want on life, young people love Arlington for the reasons you mentioned.
Lol well leesburg will be the new Arlington in a few years, it’s already gotten worse
Houses are extremely small in Arlington in certain apartments,
Wow ! Wow ! innovation.
i love the is country and she is a
beauiful ountry and she is a
nice country ,please and please be careful about natural disaster in your country but i wish you are fine and have a nice day with peace and have a good healthcare and going an oher country and no death in your country
it sucks over half the people in virginia have gotten divorced or abused
Charlottesville has inexpensive housing? What research did you do??!!
Nice 👍
brilliant take me home country roads
It's great now, we are Red!
I just rewatched this. I think they got they’re information from back in the 1950’s. They sure never looks at a map, or read anything about Virginia. BTW, does anyone actually live in Tyson’s? We just ate and shopped there…people lived in McLean or Falls Church.
I love Arlington it is a very wonderful place
Reston. Period!
Chesapeake va #1 ....Va Beach #2
Beautiful place 💓
