Winchester and Fredericksburg are 80 miles from each other. Is there a reason you're looking at Winchester in particular? It wouldn't make a lot of sense to live there if your job is in Fredericksburg.

Per back posts you said you were moving to Atlanta, GA in June. Did that fall through?

pcity is correct that it is over 80 miles apart for both towns. If looking for cheaper living, work in Fredericksburg and live further down 95 South although Fredericksburg is not that expensive.

We live on Winchester and do not know a single person who commutes to Fredericksburg. Doesn't make sense.

Working in Fredericksburg and living in Winchester would be insane. It would probably be a 2 1/2 hour drive each way. While on paper they might look similar in size they are very different. Fredericksburg is on I-95 and there is a huge retail center called Central Park which includes just about every store and restaurant in existence. Winchester is rather isolated and you have to drive over a mountain to get there. Snow is a real issue in Winchester.

There are certainly a lot more convenient, compatible options for you to consider closer to Fredericksburg, including Fredericksburg itself. Compared to Atlanta proper, crime is generally not a major issue in the vast majority of Northern Virginia.
