Cost of Living
-
11/16/2006
I have lived in Northern Virginia all my life - in Vienna, and then I bought a condo in Herndon 1 year ago. I love this place - things to do, activities, and seasons. However, due to the outrageous cost of living, I have decided to move west. Not only was my one-bedroom condo expensive, I could have purchased a house most other places. If you are a dual earner family you have a chance, but otherwise, the prices are just too high for most folks. The only reason my parents - both teachers - even live here is because they bought their home 30 years ago. The taxes on their small home will most likely force them to move.
