help me move

So... there is a good chance I will be moving to the Richmond, VA area. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the area, with the exception of 2 very nice parks in that area (KD, BGE/W). My question is what is a good between point. Somebody mentioned me an area called Highland Springs. Would I rather be closer to one of the parks? Which park is better? I will be working in the Richmond area, and I don't care about how long my drive to work is, ok, no more than 50 miles. So what communities might I want to look at?

How about the Komboro Springs area?

Your willing to drive 50 miles to work 5 days a week if it means you'll be closer to a park?

And you're willing to base where you live on proximity to one of two parks, neither of which you've been to?

^Sounds like the company might be relocating him... ;)Working in/near Richmond puts you way closer to KD...

Wow, and I hate my 15 minute commute.

If I had the choice, I would rather be closer to Big Bad Wolf. :)

IIRC, weren't you living in Terre Haute, woohooboy?

1-800-U-HAUL

Glad to be of service. :)

Moosh: Very funny, you kid, but you know you like that name.

Matt: I really like to drive, 50 miles is really not a big deal imo. Its not about the drive or the parks. I want to live in a good community, and if there are better communities near a better park it makes looking for a home easier. No, I have never been to either park, but one of them could end up being my new home park and I want to know which is better.

Andy: Yes, I live in The Haute, but some interesting offers have came up and I must explore my options.

Really, I am just trying to narrow down my search for housing.

Gee, if you were moving up to NH or northen Mass, I'd be happy to help.

So what else should an enthusiast base it on-- the school system? Come on, get serious. ;)

Ummmm, actually I should base it partly on the school system, that is kind of important. I am going to be an EL.ED Teacher. With that being my career, well I really want my work and living communities to be completely seperate. Does anybody know about this Highland Springs area?

RUN! I was in the Short Pump area, don't like Richmond very much. You're about 30 minutes from KD and over an hour from Busch...

I don't think you are going to get the answers you want about specific communities from this forum.
