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!
My family and I just moved to Stafford county in Virginia. We came from Florida because of my father's job. There are not many growth opportunities for professionals, the area is very expensive, and rent is almost double from the houses in Florida. But if you meet people that work in areas you are interested in, you are more likely to be able to prosper. Most people in the community are more than willing to lend a helping hand and introduce you to other people to reach your goals. The schools are wonderful and they accept every individual from different backgrounds without hesitation. They strive to involve and acknowledge changes and diversity, making students feel accepted.
I have lived in Stafford County for 5 years. There are 3 main positives that I can say about this community. Quiet living, affordable, and simple life. Your everyday routine will be made slightly better living here due to how easy it is to live here. The schools are excellent, the neighborhoods are safe, and the people are friendly. One day, if I wanted to raise my family here I would without a doubt. Our political leaders care for their citizens and hold town meetings so everyone is on the same page with local issues. Stafford County is a great, simple, and progressing community. We are getting a lot more new developments, and buildings because our population is growing tremendously. I am proud to say me, and my family live here.
