Is Charlottesville, Virginia a good place to move to?
I recently landed a job in the D.C. area. Its impossible to find housing there and when I do the houses cost over 500,000 dollars! I figured if I moved out of the area and commute it might make life just a bit easier. Is Charlottesville, VA the best place to commute from?
No way, too long. Fredericksburg to the south and Leesburg to the west (via the Dulles Greenway toll road) are the farthest you'll want to go. Even then, is a bigger house really worth the longer commute? Consider getting a condo, and enjoy the convenience of public transportation. Metro and VRE (with service to Manassas and Fredericksburg) can't be beat. The I-95/395 corridor south to Woodbridge also has the best HOV lanes in the country if you prefer to carpool. If a big house is really your thing, consider settling in the panhandle of West Virginia, which has regular MARC commuter rail service from Harper's Ferry and Martinsburg to Union Station downtown. Another possibility is to commute down I-66 from Front Royal/Winchester in the west, but you'd probably want to park and ride VRE the rest of the way in at Manassas (the traffic isn't worth it – trust me).
