And, yes, real estate is mighty pricey here...<br />Hope all went well with your eye surgery!

Apartments will be very expensive so expect sticker shock and they also have a personal property tax on vehicles. Good luck! My son lives in Alexandria now but he makes a very nice salary. His apartment is $2400 a month but it is in a good location.NANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809533152358579455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-53165151500263688962015-07-08T14:52:54.228-04:002015-07-08T14:52:54.228-04:00Congrats to eldest son on his new, new job.

And yes the eldest is extremely lucky that they Bank of M and D is open and lending.<br />Glad your eye surgery is today and things can get back to normal.

It was very reasonable part of Alexandria VA. Easy commute to my office in In the mount Vernon area where it was totally out of my price range. There are loads of options in NoVa. Things to consider, young adults will enjoy easy metro access, and walkable type communities like Herndon & Reston.

Our 3rd eldest is moving out for the first time (he got a great job and a company vehicle and full benefits - finally can afford to) and we are giving him $500 which is a gift as we did the same with our two eldest boys. It is hard when there are four - you have to be so freaking even about everything. At least your son got two great job offers - that just shows what kind of kid you raised!Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-13901627566821462562015-07-08T11:08:21.644-04:002015-07-08T11:08:21.644-04:00Schools have funny pay schedules.

Hopefully things will all work out. Your son is lucky to have such great parents. Good luck with your surgery today!Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15328674280714013955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611711622146875201.post-6142354747931412112015-07-08T11:02:47.066-04:002015-07-08T11:02:47.066-04:00Good luck on the surgery and congrats to Son #1 fo...Good luck on the surgery and congrats to Son #1 for the new job offer. I lived and rented in NoVA for 20 plus years until we moved last year - happy to point you to some good (and away from some bad) locations depending on where the job is.SAKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12897399135827762683noreply@blogger.com
