Woodbridge VA Homes for Sale / Woodbridge Real Estate

When I fist came to the US, many years ago from Switzerland, I worked and lived in DC. I rented a small one bedroom apartment within walking distance to the Red Line and didn’t own a car. Quite frankly I didn’t really understand the power of Real Estate back then. You have to realize I grew up in Switzerland where mostly everyone is a renter, so owning Real Estate wasn’t a dream for me back then. Fast forward I met my husband the Realtor, he got me interested in Real Estate, explained the advantages of owning versus renting and I saw the advantages immediately. Well I always new owning your own home has its advantages, but I just didn’t think it was for me at least at that point in my life.So looking back at my first years in the US I wasted a lot of money on rent. Considering I paid as much for rent as I pay now for my mortgage.

When my then boyfriend, now husband suggested we look into purchasing a home in Woodbridge I knew nothing about Woodbridge. All I knew about Woodbridge at that time was that my commute would be longer then the 10 minute metro commute I was used to and that I would need a car. I did a lot of research and was drawn to Woodbridge. When we initially moved to Woodbridge we bought a townhouse in Lake Ridge. I loved to live in Lake Ridge and enjoyed all Lake Ridge has to offer. Then when it became time for us to upgrade we bought a single family home in Dale City.

Since I moved to Woodbridge, Woodbridge has changed quite dramatically. Now there are many more restaurants including the new restaurants at Stonebridge and Potomac Mills. Woodbridge is constantly growing, due to its convenient location, local Woodbridge schools and everything Woodbridge has to offer.
