If I understand you correctly you want:

Mid-Career IT position (70k range)
Suburban setting
Trader Joes and other uber/crunchy type establishments
Decent schools
Good Medical
low crime

You want the typical American dream suburb, who doesn't. Northern Virginia has many nice communities but the COL in the DC Metro and your anticipated income will not allow you a decent quality of life. Look at the Richmond Metro especially the West End of Henrico and the Midlothian area of Chesterfield. Many communities in Hampton Roads may also suite your needs.

We even have pizza & bagels....
This is not true. The OP could easily live in Prince William county. I don't the OP wants to live in Fairfax county anyways.

I'm just one input and can't say a thing about Prince William county, I mentioned in an earlier response that Fredericksburg might be a candidate for them.

Again it's their choice what they feel is best, you are more than welcome to elaborate on PWC for them.

Pretty sure the OP said they didn't want to live in a rural area and wanted to be near a big city preferably DC. Midlothian is rural and is not near a big city. You can get pizza and bagels from anywhere in the country LOL.

And I would suggest if you are reposting provide clearer specifics and less of a general ramble so the answers received are more in line with what you want. Contrary to some posters Richmond is a city and humor is not a verbal attack...

Good Luck

Midlothian rural????????

Hardly. It's the burbs.

OP.. focus on job first. Then figure out where to live.

The most difficult part of this will be finding a job in VA when you don't live there.

Because DC was only offered as an example of a large urban area nearby. The OP actually asked for info about Virginia's urban areas.
