    • Town in Virginia
    • 4

    Current Resident: I love my neighborhood! It is family oriented. There is so much room for activities. There are several parks and so many beaches to choose from if you are looking for somewhere to hang out on a warm and sunny day! If you want to grab a bite to eat the Clubhouse and the Golf Course Cafe have a fun and friendly atmosphere!

  2. Orange

    • Town in Virginia
    • 6

    Current Resident: I would like to see more outside events for families and a variety of restaurants. It would be nice to have a home cooked family owned place to eat and even another grocery shopping choice. It would also be nice to have a dog park or trails to walk your pets on in designated areas. Other than a few minor wishes Orange is a safe and nice place to live and raise your family.

  3. Gordonsville

    • Town in Virginia
    • 5

    Current Resident: The town of Gordonsville is ,I suppose,to an outsider just like any other small southern town, but in fact it is so much more. Gordonsville is unique and interesting from the candy shop to the llama store it is history and connections, Friends and family, it is a community unlike any other that I have seen. The people in Gordonsville care so much for others. They are invested in each others lives. They are devoted to each others success. It makes for an amazing town to live in. The people of Gordonsville, however, don't just care for themselves they also care for complete strangers and that is what distinguishes a inherently good town. They not only care for themselves but for everyone else also.
