Richmond and Virginia Beach are on the higher end for Virginia, but other places, especially Alexandria (my hometown) have low rates. I have lived throughout Virginia, and every time I move, I check crime statistics in my target areas and realize how spoiled I've been by growing up where the crime rate per 100k is in the hundreds, not thousands. I toyed with a move to West Virginia, and the staggering crime rates changed my mind. Hampton, Portsmouth, and Petersburg have the state's highest crime rates.

Virginia was the best place I ever lived. I lived in Fairfax, Alexandria, and Woodbridge. Loved it and I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Alexandria is my hometown, and I've also lived in Arlington, Fairfax, and Middleburg/Upperville in Loudoun. I've lived in Rockbridge Baths, near Lexington, in Monroe (outside Lynchburg), and Lovingston in Nelson County. The more rural places are spectacular, but jobs are scarce and services are non-existent. I spent the first four months in Nelson trying to find a primary care physician accepting new patients, and ended up going to Cville instead, a 2-hour round trip. Living in the more densely populated NOVA suburbs is absolutely more expensive, but you get what you pay for. Services are amazing, schools are among the best in the country, and the standard of living is higher. Medical care, emergency response times (EMS/fire services), crime is low (which surprised me, as I'd assumed that more rural areas were safer), and salaries are higher. Jobs tend to match the COL in a particular area, so it's more about amenities, QOL, education, and employment opportunities for me. I still head down to Roseland for killer views and Saunders Brothers peaches, but head home to NOVA once I get my fix. Luckily, there is no shortage of options throughout the state.

I guess Southwest VA doesn’t exist. Abingdon has the state creeper trail and the Barter Theater and lots of little shops. It’s in the Appalachian Mountains and there are lots of professional wealthy people, if all you care about is money. Virginia does NOT stop at Roanoke. Our mountains are beautiful.

I think this video uses average home values from many years ago, and does not reflect what it currently costs to buy a home here.

I've lived in Virginia ON and OFF throughout most of my life, starting when my dad's military career brought him (and the family) to the Commonwealth. I've seen a lot of changes in VA, including cultural ones. It's no longer the prominent southern state that it once was, as an influx of transplants has descended on the state. MANY of these transplants are from Northeastern states. The POPULATED eastern section of the state (from the DC suburbs down I-95 to Richmond and then southeast on I-64 to Hampton Roads) controls the state politics. >>> Virginia is NOT a low-cost-of-living state, unless you reside in a more rural area of the state. Property taxes are quite high, sales tax on groceries, personal property taxes on your vehicles and retirement pensions are NOT tax exempt. >>> Due to a career assignment, I currently reside in Virginia. Once that obligation ends, I intend to leave Virginia. You can probably guess where I'll be going.

Lees burg inexpensive? I have friends who live there, their house is over a million dollars. I lived in Vienna for over 30 years. It is not a sleepy little town close to the big city. It is an urban area with big city right there, like Tyson Corner. I also live in Alexandria and taught in Arlington. Since Arlington use to be the County of Alexandria, you cant tell where one ends and the other begins. Definitely needs an update.

Interesting...

I've been living in Arlington, VA in the downtown urban area near 2 blocks to the metro station for 30 years which I love, however, it's time for me to move out to Prince William County end of December to see how I feel and stay there a least two between three years.

Arlington is expensive also.

Somehow, Williamsburg having 4 million strangers trapsing through town every year is not a selling point in my book.

This video did a good job on pointing out good places to live based on job, retiree and education, thought I think the order is a bit wonky. Does Virginia have higher taxes than some states, yes. Does Virginia have lower taxes than some states, yes. It is all relatives on your income and what it are use too. This is list is based on a number of things than just expenses. Also I know people have feelings about crime in their area but this video is to appeal to a wide audience not living in Virginia. The fact is that Virginia has a crime index rate half of what the entire nation is and most is not all places named have a crime index rate that is half the state. To say that these area are so unsafe as to stay away would be about the same as saying don’t live in 75% of places in the US as it is to dangerous.

Definitely not a place to live, especially if you have children and don't make 6 figures. I have lived in northern Virginia for almost 5 years, and I can tell you it's not the place to be and the schools are terrible.

I would give back my British citizenship to return to Virginia, I'm a USA Naturalized Citizen. I was pushed out by one Fed Agent. No trial just calls late at night threatening. In 2010 I had given two files. One file contained Bin Ladens location, sent. Certified mail to NSA/CIA/Whitehouse. Each got copy - it was prior to raid..... Plus meeting with security. Then the raid took place all matched..... Location/date of raid precise/seal team 6 - plus risks attached .... The eventual helicopter vortex / funeral at sea on carrier include time. After the raid their were arguments, that's why in my view why the initial storyline changed - although the salient facts remained the same. I love the USA - nothing like it. I had been living in Old Town Manassas - Wellington Place with my then Govt wife. We both ended up on the street, she had been in just short of 30 years with the government. In the UK the marriage came to an end.... UK government refused her entry at Heathrow - possibly coincidence I don't know. Anyway I lost all that meant anything to me. In all of this my country the USA came, and still does come first. Since leaving so much has happened in the in the United States but it remains the very best in the world. (In the compound smouldering ashes piled up - yet the copter although confined did not spread them.... So would you burn what could be vital Intel, only if you already read it! But it was reported Laden's men lit it... But the copter would have blown it everywhere. .Of course I know more but that's enough. . As I say it's a fine detail to what ended a successful raid - yes I told the truth because I want home - I earned it)

Appalachia mountains is the best place in Virginia but you want like it you can't see at nite we don't allow street lights and hard top roads in my neck of woods

I live in Virginia all my life I really wouldn't live in any of these cities. There ran bye liberals high cost of living I prefer the mountains of Bedford County where I live

Bedford's beautiful, but I am back in NOVA where I'm from. As a lifelong liberal and Virginian, I appreciate the education, employment, diversity, culture, and safety of my liberal hometown (Alexandria) and environs.
