Commuter’s Dream

train arriving
Platform of the Vienna Metro Station
There can be a lot of things said about living in the Northern Virginia area, but one big thing would be the great access to jobs in the tri-city area.  Deciding on which area to live can be based on the ability to get to and from your workplace.  There is no denying that in an area like this that traffic can be a pain but it is great to know that there are options available if a car is not the most economical route for transportation. Fairfax County, in particular, has developed a number of ways to meet the rising demand for public transportation and its great to know many city's have bus systems already in place.  There are plenty of park and ride lots in the area that allow for commuters to drive to a particular location, park their car, and finish the rest of route to work on the metro.  This helps the commuter avoid long waits in traffic and lower the cost of paying for gas in your car. The metro is slated to extend out to Loudoun County and has already reached areas in Fairfax and Reston.  There are several housing options next to these locations and they all have condos, townhomes, or single family's available for purchase.  If you are a commuter looking for a great place to live that help your commuting costs, then you should check out Fairfax County.  It's a commuter's dream.

Rippon Landing offers mid-sized townhouses.

Rippon Landing is a subdivision located  in Woodbridge, Virginia, in Prince William County. The townhouses look about mid-sized, they're not very large, but great for a starter home. They don't look super appealing from the outside, mainly because of the age of them I'd say.  The neighborhood seems to be pretty well taken care of though. There are very wide streets, which is nice so you can park on the side of the streets without having to worry too much about your car. There is a large playground in the center of the neighborhood, it has swings, slides, a basketball court, a jungle gym, etc., which makes Rippon Landing a nice place to live if you have any children. Its also located right off of route 1, and has very close access to I-95, making it very conveinent for any commuters out there. Overall, the community seemed quiet, and very pleasant.
