Does Anyone Live in Virginia?

Needlepoint142 · 01-17-2007, 11:07 PM

I live in Virginia near the Historic Triangle (Jamestown, Williamsburg, & Yorktown).

needlepoint.

Have never been there, but hear is it beautiful. What is the top draw for where you live?

What is the average home price? I have a 1500 sq. ft. home in the Seattle area that would sell for $380,000. What could I get in Virginia, somewhere that feels like country, with a city nearby?

I don't live there but I've been a few times. It really is beautiful!

I live in a rural area. I do not know how many square feet my house is. It is 2 stories and has 3 complete bathrooms and an 8 acre yard.

I personally could wish that some of the tourists would disappear.

I live near Brent and Becky Heath, who are known around the world for their daffodils. Brent is a third generation grower/breeder of daffodils.

We do not have the pollution of Northern Virginia, but we do have traffic headaches.

What is the polution issue in Northern Virginia?

Northern Virginia is very polluted and congested. I do not know the exact figures.

I used to live in Virginia, but I don't think I'll be much help as I'm not sure where in the state I lived. I moved every few years, that's all I know. Then I moved to Anchorage when I was a teen.

Ah, parents, they think school is so important, but don't bother to make sure you can point out where you live on a map...

What can I say? It gets kinda hot during the summer, but was never bad enough for me to hide indoors. I think 80's, sometimes low 90's is pretty typical. And it's humid. Living in a neigborhood with a swimming pool helps. There's not a lot of snow during the winter, and it doesn't last too long- the longest I remember having snow stay on the ground was two weeks, at which point I started getting bored with it.

I don't recall ever living someplace that didn't have a good supply of trees in Virginia, so that's a plus. I've seen deer occasionally, some of them don't run away as soon as they see you. Squirrels are a frequent sight- I always liked the squirrels.

I was born in VA and lived most of my years in Northern VA - a few years down in VA Beach, and then out to the west. Now I'm south.

I lived in Fairfax.
