Give me liberty or give me a fabulous Richmond apartment! Welcome to one of the oldest American cities, full of stories of the past and civil war reenactments for your viewing pleasure. This friendly Southern city kills it with its thriving live music scene, world class historic attractions, an incredible museum district, a top notch culinary scene, cool craft breweries, and outdoor activities on the James River. Richmond has become an ethnically diverse, flourishing destination for culture, cuisine and cobblestone streets. Your new life is beginning in your new lively neighborhood – you're the next to make history here in the River City.
Northern Virginia was dubbed “the economic engine of the state” by former governor Bob McDonnell. And it’s no surprise, considering this area is home to about 200 million square feet of office space, a dozen of the nation’s largest intelligence agencies, and half of the state’s Fortune 500 companies, including Freddie Mac, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, Capital One, AES Corporation, and the Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). Verisign is also based in the region, which in case you didn’t know, is the godfather of the .com and .net top-level domains. In fact, about 70% of all Internet traffic flows through Loudoun County data centers every day, and an estimated 70% of Amazon’s EC2 servers are located right here. Other prominent companies with headquarters in Northern Virginia include Touchstone Energy, AES Corporation, Mars Inc., ThinkGeek, Wrong Planet, Politico, USA Today, Hilton, UberOffices, and PBS.
