Moving to the Area

Hello ladies, DH and I are moving to the area and need recomendations on where to live. I will be working at Fort Belvoir in Virginia and my husband will be in the DC area. I would like to live somewhere near DC but not too horrible of a commute for me. Oh and a garage is a "must have" because of our motorcycles. Any recommendations ?

    Welcome to town! The Kingstown area in Alexandria would be a really good fit. It's in southern Alexandria, wedged right between Route 1, 395 and 495, which makes getting in and out of town really convenient. Also, the last metro stop on the Blue line is right there, so your hubby can commute that way if need be. Ft. Belvoir is the southern border of the neighborhood, so you will be a stones throw away. 

    Another very positive thing about Kingstown is that it is in Fairfax County, which has fantastic schools, public libraries and parks.  Almost all single family homes in the area have a garage. There are a lot of military families in the area, and if you want to rent there are usually a fair amount of homes that owners rent out because of deployment.

     

    Good luck!
