Thoughts on Occoquan? (zip 22125) (Woodbridge, Springfield: buying a home, buying, prices)

[vdog16]

My wife and I are looking at some townhomes in Occoquan... any thoughts? Prices are reasonable and the commute to Springfield where we work would be better than from Woodbridge (though only slightly).

Just wondering if anyone has any compelling reasons as to why buying a home in Occoquan would not be a good thing.

Thanks!

Would you have your own parking?

Yes 1 car garage with driveway.

Occoquan is a beautiful area with quaint shops along the water and then you can also look at some newer homes/townhomes on the east side of 95 and Rt1 if you are looking for the waterfront with newer homes and parking. Since it is close to 95 and Rt 1 it would give you easy access for commuting north or south. Best of luck!

I think it would be a nice spot too. The only reason I asked about parking was because of the craft festivals they hold twice a year.

Very nice and close to everything. Just like anywhere else in the area, traffic stinks during rush hour. The town itself is very nice though. And if you have a boat, it's got that covered as well!!!
