Virginia is home to one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan metropolitan areas in the country. Northern Virginia, which has become far more than a bedroom community for the nation’s capital, is awash in development and expansion. The corridor from Washington, D.C. through and including Dulles International Airport has come to rival the Silicone Valley in terms of the array of high-tech companies and enterprises that now call this region home. Beyond history and business Virginia is a “sports person’s paradise.” From hunting to camping to hiking the Commonwealth has some of the most spectacular parks and recreational areas on the Eastern Seaboard. Moreover, the beaches of Virginia – particularly at Virginia Beach and surrounding communities – have become some of the best beloved tourist destinations in the Northeastern United States.

Virginia overall continues to experience population growth. Of course, Northern Virginia continues to lead the Commonwealth when it comes to residential, retail and commercial development. However, other sections of Virgina are experiencing growth as well, including some of the more rural areas of the Commonwealth that are attracting young families and other people who are interested in a more serene life in a community that truly can be classified and considered a “hometown.”
