In hotel now but will be looking for place to move during the weekend

Asian immigrant in early 30s with 2 year old kid and one on the way.Wife still in South FL and will stay till better part of next year too

In the meantime,need to know more abt area..schools and better communities

will rent to start with but buying is on cards in a couple of years

Starting the discussion so that ppl can chip in on the areas to look for renting and the ball park prices of buying/renting

Biggest question is what is your budget? Unfortunately, to a great degree, that determines where you're going to live in Northern Virginia.

Welcome to nova. And glad you got out of south Florida. That place sucks. Move your family up here and it will be a lot better for everyone, schools and less crime, and people have class. South florida is a real mess. You will like it here

I can certainly name areas to avoid from a LE standpoint and there are a lot of them. it might be better if you start looking and write on here what you think you might like. But, if I were new here and need to find a place to live i would likely look in the Linton Hall Rd areas in places like Braemar or any number of developments out that way.

Why do you feel the need to be so critical of areas like this when it's obviously home for this person?
