ANyone live in this area? What can you tell about the area? taxes? living expenses? gun laws? scooter laws?

Im looking at taking a position in this area and would like to know a little more. Ridden through and driven through but not spent a ton of time in that area. Been on the west side of the state a ton.

 

Im leaving Thursday for Dumfries.... Ill be a Virginian...

 

WELCOME!
Plenty of great riding around here. And if you aren't already an American history buff, you will be.

 

dVA is a commonwealth. Taxes are hefty. Prince William is a different county than mine.
Im not sure what their rate is, but in Fairfax County (neighbor) it is Value of Car/100 * $4. Its 4 and some change dont remember. If you are a disabled veteran or a senior citizen you do get a tax relief which helps a lot.

Luray and Shenendoah is 45 min away from ur area great ride on Skyline Drive.
Concealed carry permit has a lot of reciprocity with other states. So far VA is Pro gun...but I used to say VA was a republican state. In general cost of living in this area is pretty high. Dumfries isn't as bad the real estate there is generally lower than it is closer to D.C.

 

Traffic suxs period!

Voted the No#1 traffic area in the United States! However, some very nice back roads to explore.

Welcome to the neighborhood. I am just north of you in Springfield. Depending on traffic, about a 20 minute ride. I've been here for about 6 years and ride with some good people if your looking.

 

Always looking! Shoot me a pm... Working tons of hours and Terri le commute for awhe till I get the family here. Love the scenery though

 

95 traffic is a pain but once u get west of town to the valley there are some great roads.. Good luck with the move

 

Chiming in here. Just bought a house in Franconia if anyone's nearby.

 

Hi MattVA, You're real close to me, I'm in Springfield, just between the railroad tracks and the Old Springfield Mall.
