I live in Arlington VA and you hit every point I would have made. One great thing about Arlington is all the free stuff such as Smithsonian and all the military concerts especially in summer. Also, there are great green spaces and close in parks. mmmmm you make it sound so appealing! And yeah, we are all transplants.

My family is from VA and I moved to VA mountains just over a year ago and am loving it. Beautiful nature, people are generally polite and really nice. NOVA and the rest of VA are like two different states and where the ever-moving Mason-Dixon line that separates South from North lies. NOVA is one of richest best educated parts of the nation which helps VA financially, highest bond rating of any state, multi-billion surplus this year, with all VA taxpayers getting a refund. I personally like the southern side though, live in a working-class town surrounded by college towns. A lot of the folks who aren't 'well-educated' are highly skilled think farm families now working in factories and construction. The economy is strong and getting stronger, but it's putting price pressure on housing. People seem hard working but pace themselves, take time to talk, not killing themselves for their jobs, and I like the mix of locals and transplants, both bring things to the mix. As for politics people aren't afraid to state their beliefs but are generally civil and red-blue balance means both parties need to take care of business or get replaced.

As a car enthusiast, I was told to avoid driving through Virginia because if you speed and get caught going a certain amount over the speed limit, they take away your license. Radar detectors are also illegal there. Due to this, they have one of the highest rates of people driving without licenses

Moved to Virginia Beach from the suburbs of Portland Oregon 14 months ago. Home prices are less here but trying to rent is super hard as there are often wait lists and not as much tenant protections - prices are cheaper availability is the issue. Food costs are comparable, our utilities are a little lower, eating out is more expensive, gas is way lower, taxes are less. The weather here is the biggest bonus, so much more sunshine then where we lived and warmer and the beach access all make it worth it. The school districts are highly rated but are super focused on test scores and advanced diplomas - little focus on kids mental health or personal development or doing more project or experential based learning. There is more diversity here than where we lived and the amount of history is rich and great. Traffic actually is not bad here compared to where we lived. It is pretty laid back here overall. Not as progressive as where we lived, but not extremely conservative - I like the balance even though we lean more progressive. I can't speak to the employment - we work remotely. Overall I love Virginia Beach as I am a beach gal and I don't regret moving here. Oh another bonus is we can take a train to DC or NYC - so much easier than driving, and we can easily drive to more places closer on the East coast then we could on the West Coast. Biggest drawback being in VB is lack of a major airport - which is a bummer when we have to go out West to visit people. Yes we can take the train to DC but we usually fly out of Norfolk and pay a bit more for the convenience. I miss my Alaska Airlines and major airport.
