    "Not much public transportation but if you’re looking to metro into the city it’s not super far. Traffic on the highway can be a nightmare during the weekday but inside the city it’s not bad"

    "The commute is treacherous. Heading to DC is a horrible experience. Route 66 is plagued with traffic and tolls. Additionally, DMV drivers do not obey the laws. Coming from PA/NJ, these are by far the worse drivers. Individuals will jump 4 lanes to exit at the last minute. I’ve seen people driving onto and exit ramp for a highway...worse part about it all is that these very same people aren’t even remotely concerned. They have zero regard for other people’s safety or the law as a whole. "

    "Gainesville VA is a rapidly growing community full of young families. The elementary schools are still good, but we chose private school for both middle and high school due to crowding. As Gainesville grows, there are many more amenities and things to do. Road traffic is only heavy for a brief time during rush hours. All in all, it’s been a wonderful place to raise our family."

    "Ive lived here for over 10 years and can only name like 5 ‘events’ that have happened here lol. The more that the city has developed the more crime there’s been but the only repetitive nuisance has been car break ins when leaving your car unlocked (so lock your car). "

    "Their are two easily accessible routes to 66. Close access to routes 28 and 50. Back roads can often be taken to avoid any traffic. If you work the usual business hours, you’re bound to get stuck in traffic regularly. However, the fact you can actually spread out and relax here without city noise and with a sense of community is well worth the commute. "
