There is a lot to do in Virginia, no matter what portion you live in. Northern Virginia, and especially the metro area around DC, is virtually seen as a different state, having a markedly different population, tradition and culture than the rest of the state. The western side is more rural, mountains, cheaper cost of living. The Northern Area is congested, higher-paying jobs but high cost of living. In Richmond, the cost of living is median, commuting is great and there is lots to do in the area. The history here is EVERYWHERE. Especially war history. Weather is known to be a bit ‘crazy.’ Cold one day, hot the next, especially during the season’s changing. Always keep a sweater and a pair of shorts out and you’ll survive just fine. The Appalachian trail is totally worth hiking if you are in to that. Like most states, there are some peculiarities to Virginia law that you may find amusing. So if you decided to settle down in this charming state we are here for you to take all the headaches. Check our top 10 Virginia movers and look through reliable moving companies reviews carefully.
