      This area that I live in is not the best due to recent incidents that have been taking place. For example, a person riding a bike gotten hit by a car and was in critical condition. More examples include shootings in the neighborhood, there's constantly fire trucks, ambulance or police around, and the people are not the friendliest. I would not choose to live here again nor would I recommend this area to anyone else.

      I would choose to live here again even though there is little to do you can still try to find something fun to do.The people are very nice and are always smiling and happy to see you.The atmosphere is always welcoming there are rarely any problems around and I would recommend people to live here. Compared to the rest of the country Virginia is one of a kind its very historical and teaches you a lot when you go sightseeing.
      I haven't lived in a house since I was in 5th grade, I've always been in and out of apartments. But one day after college I'll have my own one day. I'm not exactly sure the costs for housing other than I know it's pretty expensive from what my dad says. The best place to reside is any place that's not Jefferson Davis or Meadowdale area. There's cops that just ride up and down the street because of wreckless driving or robbery.
