anybody live around there? How is it? Details, I need details. Even if you've just visited the area. Weather? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
Where are you moving specifically? Northern Virginia is a big area and varies from place to place.
All in all it's a nice area. The weather is very humid during the summer. The housing market is very expensive and inflated right now... sorry about that.
Depending on what part of N. VA you're moving to, it can be difficult to buy a single-family home for under $500,000.
The commute and traffic depends on where you're living and where you're commuting to.
If you have any specific questions, let me know. I'd be happy to help you out. I live in Leesburg, which is well outside of the Metro DC area, but is in Northern Virginia nonetheless.
