Thank you NOVA
We just moved to Burke, Virginia about three days ago. The people in this community have been so friendly. Our neighbors have introduced themselves and some even brought us wonderful cookies and cakes. Everyone in the grocery stores has been so pleasant. People smile and say hello.
Thanks so much Burke for being so welcoming to our family. I know we are going to love living here!

Welcome to the area. I never understood why this area has a stigma of being unfriendly...

It's not unfriendly here, but I do believe the traffic wears down on people |

Our area has a mix of people, from many different ethnic backgrounds. You will like where you live, but the traffic could drive you insane. Good thing Burke has a VRE station and close to Ft. Belvior. |
