Life in Northern Virginia
Northern Virginia truly has it all — and, with your flexible work schedule and Washington, D.C. just a short Metro ride away, you never have to miss out. History buffs can visit the memorials and museums of the National Mall, explore the cobblestone streets of Old Town Alexandria or trek through Manassas National Battlefield Park. A lively culinary scene keeps foodies busy — whether venturing into the city for its world-class restaurants or spending the day at one of northern Virginia’s many wineries and breweries— and dozens of performing arts venues offer everything from the National Symphony Orchestra to alternative rock concerts. Of course, there’s always the escape of the great outdoors — the Potomac River offers local hiking and kayaking, or you can hop in the car for a trip to the Shenandoah Valley or Blue Ridge Mountains.
