Dale City, VA
Good climate -
10/1/2006The area has a more moderate climate than in the mid-west. Not nearly as good as southern California or the West in general, however. There aren't too many days in the winter where you have to worry about the snowfall.

Crowded -
7/6/2006Not just Dale City, but the entire area of Northern Virginia is incredibly crowded. Traffic is a nightmare, affecting quality of life. Don't even want to travel in the area on free days since traffic is so awful.

Horrible Commutes -
6/7/2006For those comtemplating moving to the Washington DC area, be prepared for one of the worst traffic situations in the country. It has a serious impact on the quality of life in this area. People often talk about the myriad of things to do in the Washington DC area, but I find that -- on the weekends -- I am too sick of fighting traffic to even leave my neighborhood. If you can afford to live in close to Washington, do so because you can save some hassle by using the Metro.
