Living in Springfield Virginia - Packed with Info | Watch this FIRST!

This video is about living in Springfield Virginia.

I have lived in Springfield for 23 years, in the first home I ever bought.

It's a great place to live due to its proximity to major highways, Metro, and its diverse neighborhoods.

SpringfieldVA is a suburb of Washington, DC, a distance of about 12 miles. Springfield was once known as a "bedroom community", meaning a suburban lifestyle and a nice, quiet distance from workplaces. Most of the development of this area took place in the 1940s through the 1960s.
The Springfield Town Center, Lake Accotink Park, and South Run Rec Center are just a few highlights in this video. Plus a look at Springfield VA real estate and homes for sale as of September 12, 2021.

The cost of living in Springfield VA is high relative to the rest of the country. But salaries in general are pretty high as well. Home prices range from $189,900 for a 1bedroom condo to $1.5 million for a large brand new home.
