The Northern VA Region is Thriving

 

The Northern VA (NOVA) region is alive and humming with the life and excitement created by peoples from all over the world, thousands of restaurants to satisfy every palate, numerous museums and historic buildings/places, multitudes of concert venues for every genre of music, enough buzz for the citified soul but enough country to keep the farmers happy too! Whatever your niche in life, most likely it exists in the NOVA Hub!

Get a taste of it here but find out more at The NOVA Hub.

What is the Northern VA region? 

Officially, the Northern VA region is quite large and encompasses approximately 12 counties. However, many consider the upmost portions of VA that hug the DC line to be the "real" Northern VA region. This area includes Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties. The majority of folks in these counties work in one of the major industries that keep the Nation's Capital clicking.

While the other counties that officially make up Northern VA are situated in the northern tip, they are considered more rural and do not offer as much as the aforementioned counties.

For this reason, The NOVA Hub focuses on Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties. They are brimming with unique community events, concerts, local eating favorites and volunteer opportunities. Check it out and find your place in this thriving environment!

Arlington County 

Arlington County is the closest county to Washington DC and therefore, embraces both suburbia elements as well as city ones. With spectacular views of DC, it is home to many International companies, government contractors, and many other government entities.

Crystal City, Rosslyn and Arlington itself are slowly being developed into great places to eat, play, work and sleep! With gas prices climbing, expect real estate in these hubs to climb as well as young professionals ditch their cars and opt for public transportation and walking-distance lifestyles.
