Relocating to Alexandria,va...... help

[Yankeesfan]

If you are single, I suggest trying to find a roommate. My daughter and her friend are graduating from college in May and will be moving in with a friend who is already here. One of her friends graduated last year and shares an apartment with a colleague who moved here from out-of-state right after graduation. (For women especially, I think this is safer than living alone as well.)

Vasinger,
Thanks for your advice, but I have been thinking about moving out of Richmond for a long time. It is a good place to raise children, unfortunately there isn't much to do here for a single person. My friends and I usually travel to the DC areas for fun. Not Good. Why should anyone have to travel 1 hour and a half for fun. It's time to move. The cost of living in Northern Va is what's holding me back. It's high.

Can you tell me what areas in Alexandria,Fairfax where I would be able to find an apt on a teacher's salary? Thanks!

Hello,

You might want to look into the Fields of Alexandria on N. Quaker Lane prices are good and there is a Sheriff on the premises.
