Someplace near Springfield (apartments, big home, moving to)

[Home_Kid]

i will most likely be moving to VA for a job that is in Springfield. can anyone suggest a town 0-30 miles from Springfield that has 1 story homes in the 2500 sq.ft. range on 1/2 acre, give-or-take etc. looking for a nice development and fairly newer homes in the 350k range.

and any suggestions for a 1-2 bed apartments, i will need to be in an apartment while i house hunt.

thanks for any suggestions.

update: i did some quik searching and wow, 6100sq.ft. on 7 acres for just 350k (mls SP7024682). a tad far, but wow, thats a lot of home for just 350k. i defintely like the big homes on land.

A tad far? That commute to Springfield would be hellish!

It's more than 50 miles up and down one of the slowest roads in Northern Virginia. It would be at least 2 hours each way unless you're commuting in the middle of the night.

You should post this on the Northern Virginia forum since there are probably people with similar commutes on there. Springfield is considered Northern Virginia.

Don't believe Google Map times for anything related to Northern Virginia. I looked at the location and it's almost to Lake Anna. It would definitely be at least two hours one way. I agree about posting on the No. VA forum.
