Current Resident: I've lived in Arlington all my life, I went to elementary, middle, and high school here. I love that Arlington is a very safe neighborhood statewide. I've traveled to many other counties and cities in the US, nothing beats it. I'd most likely raise my children in Arlington, VA. Being 15 minutes from the nation's capital and 20 minutes from Maryland is a flex lol! The only downside is that Arlington is solely but surely kicking out minorities by gentrifying all of South Arlington (where I grew up and where my parents own a condo).... Read 256 reviews

Niche User: There are many stores and restaurants, even a movie theater, within walking distance. The biggest drawback is the cost of housing in this area. Also, my former residence had more green spaces nearby.

Parent: My daughter began attending St. Bernadette School in the 7th Grade following our move to Northern Virginia. We couldn't be more pleased with her experience. The teachers, staff, student and parents are dedicated, kind, and caring. They helped her transition to a rigorous Catholic education, including first-time instruction in religion, grammar, cursive, and Spanish. The school is part of a vibrant parish; the priests are about campus and in the classroom. St. Bernadette School is Catholic education at its best!... Read 34 reviews

Current Resident: Great neighborhood and very diverse! Great restaurants as well. There are some road and bridge repairs at the moment that make traffic a bit heavier at times, but once completed should get back to normal.

Current Resident: I love the weather, the lakes, the flowers and gardens, its pristine and manicured. Great restaurants a and places to play. Amazing schools, awesome weather. Transplant from Seattle. It's so much better here than there. Lots of water here. Gorgeous. Lots of paths to walk on, parks to use. Shopping here is a breeze. Gorgeous shopping. Ponds, fish. Access to tons of jobs. Diverse, more of a richer area. Easy access to the freeways. International airport is not far. The gorgeous white sands at Virginia beach and otter banks are just right there. I'd say maybe 2 hours away drive tops. The costs of housing is more affordable here than Seattle that is for sure.... Read 4 reviews

Current Resident: The actual small town of Occoquan on the river is wonderful! There are three foodie-type restaurants, and then Madigans on the water with a TiKi bar, and lots of cute shops with nit-knacks as well as fudge and ice cream! We now have a park and a walking bridge across the falls! I am thrilled most people don't know about this place! It makes it a safe and wonderful place to live and play!... Read 2 reviews

Current Resident: Fairfax is a wonderful city in a great location. There are many activities, indoor and outdoor, that members of the community enjoy, such as the city center parks and gardens, as well as the great restaurants and indoor dining. The traffic is bad most of the time, but it is worth it to travel and have new experiences. Cost of living is expensive, but the location of this city is ideal, with D.C., Maryland, and many other exciting places to explore.

Current Resident: I have lived here all my life. Granted, that is not a very long time in the grand scheme of things. However, I do not believe I would have wanted to live anywhere else. This town is so welcoming. The high school is phenomenal, and the community is so loving. There are so many places to have fun, as well. I love to go to Cascades Overlook with my friends, even if the restaurants are closed, we love the atmosphere of that area and feel safe there. This town is very family friendly. There are so many different types of living areas such as traditional family houses, townhouses, and apartments. In every neighborhood I have seen in this area there is a nice park or playground nearby. I love being so close to Algonkian park. It is a staple when visiting this area. I bring friends from outside the area to the river. It is so nice to be so close to such an amazing regional park. I am so grateful to have lived here all my life and would not want it any other way.... Read 14 reviews

Former Resident: It was a wonderful town to live in! I lived in Ashburn from a very young age up until my teenage years. I had a lot of friends growing up and all my neighbors were very friendly. The town itself started to become very developed in the year 2016, and there were more facilities and housing subdivisions added in making it a very crowded place to live. It has a city like feel to it with some traffic, though it is still a suburb. My school environment was typical. All my teachers cared about teaching their given subjects and truly provided valuable life lessons to our class along the way. Most fellow students were kind and friendly as well. As a member of the orchestra, Stone Hill Middle School's music department gave me the chance to grow as a musician.
