All around, my 13 years of living here was not terrible, although I absolutely despised the education of the elementary school I attended and believed even at such a young age that it was extremely biased, the middle and highschools were significantly better. There are times when school admin don't really do their best to protect the students, but in general again it's not extremely bad. All in all, it's right in between Richmond and DC, 15 minutes from Fredericksburg and Spotsy, right next to 95, and the neighborhoods/houses are very nice and well maintained!
I have lived here since 93. Long post short, this was a great place to be until they got greedy, and began to care more for those who would be moving out eventually anyway. Abandoned shopping centers, things "under construction" for years and years, or just mowing down land and acquiring property while places like Aquia Shopping center rot. Cramming homes and apartments into tiny spaces and paying for what? To say you have a nice investment in Stafford? If you're not Gov or military, they probably lose sleep hoping that you'll either move or be willing to see your home when they want a brand new empty lot, promising things nobody I have spoken to wants/needs or cares to have.
I could really rant all day, maybe I'm bitter, all I know is Stafford has fallen into some sort of muck, and they seem to like it. The only thing I can say I enjoy is the food. A lot of foreign food places have put a little bit of culture into this mostly culture-less spot in VA.

Stafford county has been quite the journey. The schools aren't the best, with the lack of respect for students and lack of diversity as well. Traveling in Stafford is also quite hard because there tends to be a lot of traffic all day which makes people late to work, to shop, and for buses to drop kids off at school. The community is very friendly, since I do have quite a few friends that I visit and hang out with from time to time. The stores in this area are your basic stores where you can buy everything you need, so that is good as well. Overall it's a pretty decent place that I enjoy living in.
