This Beautiful Virginia City has Recently Been Named the Best Place to Live in the U.S.

Every year, Niche compiles a list of the best places to live in the United States.

They look at data from 2,300 different metropolitan areas and analyze key points to determine which towns and cities are desirable.

The surrounding job market, housing costs, and overall quality of life are all key factors that are considered when determining their rankings.

This year, one of Virginia’s smaller neighborhoods was named among the best places to live in the United States and quite frankly, we’re not surprised.

Located within the D.C. suburb of Arlington, Colonial Village is a historic garden apartment complex comprised of 226 different buildings built in four stages between 1935 and 1940. The buildings hold approximately 1,055 apartment units.
