Virginia
Virginia varies from the Blue Ridge Mountains, famous for wildlife and great camping, to the Chesapeake Bay and Virginia Beach, both famed for seafood and water sports. The rich variety and its rich colonial history make Virginia a wonderful place to rent an apartment for almost anyone. In fact, Virginia consistently ranks in the top five states for great family living by most polls based on climate, cost of living, activities and services (including healthcare).
Soybeans are the largest agricultural product here, but tomatoes, potatoes and peanuts are also major exports. Industrial products include electronics, lumber and furniture. Military bases in the state are a significant presence, with military families contributing heavily to the economy. The Marine Corps University is also located here.
Tourism is the top revenue earner in Virginia because of the state’s central importance in Colonial, Revolutionary and Civil War history. The state has encouraged this through their impressive restoration and preservation of sites such as Colonial Williamsburg, Monticello and Mt. Vernon.
Outdoor Attractions
The Blue Ridge Mountains provide wonderful camping, hiking and hunting opportunities. Naturalists and photographers also love this picturesque wildlife area. For those who worship the sun, Virginia Beach is popular for its white sand beaches, boating, water skiing and great seafood.
The Appalachian Trail and 35 state parks all offer exceptional hiking in the warmer months and, in higher elevations, great cross country skiing in the winter. Virginia is also wonderful for horse lovers – steeplechase and polo are both extremely popular here and horse ranches abound.
Colleges and Universities
Virginia is home to two exceptional colleges that rank in the top ten for private colleges according to U.S. News and World Report – the University of Virginia and the College of William and Mary. Virginia State University and Virginia Tech are the state's universities; in addition the state has various universities offering law, pharmacy and osteopath programs.
Real Estate and Housing
Virginia housing and apartment rentals are generally about 5% below the national average, which makes the state even more alluring to those who want to live in one of the country’s most livable states. If you like apartment living in a city with stately charm, consider the state capital of Richmond. Virginia Beach, Norfolk and Chesapeake all offer reasonably priced apartments and plenty of variety. Although you can find apartments in the Blue Ridge Mountain region, you may have to look a bit longer to find something that fits you.
