You shouldn't have any trouble finding the right place. BUT NoVA is a taste t obe acquired. If you like suburbia, then yes, you should like it there. The places mentioned are nice. Steer clear of Manassas and Dale City.
Depending on where you are working, take a look at Stirling and Leesburg as well.
I personally can't stand MD. I hit the state line and the jackasses are out. They see trailer and they are either running into me looking at the horsie (in an enclosed trailer no less) or cutting me off.

Average, for horses with some experience at this level
