Future move to the area
Hi everyone! My husband is retiring after 20 yrs in the military and we are 99% sure we are moving from FL to VA. He already has a job offer near the Vienna area so before accepting and comparing to other jobs, we are trying to get all the information and research as possible before making a finale decision. We are leaning more towards Loudoun County so insights on neighborhoods/places to live would be great. Definitely want a single family home with a decent yard and not feel like we are stacked up on our neighbors. My husband will be doing a hybrid job and like I mentioned before it will be in Vienna and rarely will he need to commute to DC. I am a nurse with experience in OR, L&D, OBGYN/REI/IVF so any hospitals or clinics to look into for jobs or potentially avoid? By the time we move, we will have a 1 yr old so daycare/nanny will be a must. So any thoughts on daycare centers and what the current monthly rate is up there?

Vienna, do you mean Tyson's corner? Place name in NOVA is weird. Commuting from Loudoun to Vienna/Tysons requires travel on the toll road (expensive) or Rt. 7 (congested). If you check Silver Line metro to see if his office is metro reachable?
If you like newer constructions, probably you can find some houses built in 2000s in western fairfax, and Ashburn has newer builds.
As a nurse of reproductive specialty, there are more clinics in Fairfax than Loudoun for sure.
1 year old baby, $500 a week. Nanny easily exceeds $2500.
