My husband works for the Department of Defense and was just offered an opportunity to go work in Virgina {at Quantico} for a year or two, then return to his current site. We love where we live right now, but we've been itching for a change of pace so we're thinking this might be a good opportunity to experience a new area without making an indefinite change.

My question: Do you recommend any particular towns/neighborhoods to live around that area? I was looking at Woodbridge and the surrounding communities but really have nothing to go off of other than how the schools are rated. We also have family in Arlington and Alexandria, but I have no concept of how far that would be for DH to commute down to Quantico... TIA!!
