Thanks to high housing prices and remote work, more Washingtonians are moving further down I-95.
ey, this is an optionThese people are mostly priced-out young families looking for a bigger house or first-time buyers, Maraghy says, and while some are working fully remote, others plan to drive to Washington or take the train weekly or monthly to report in for work. Most of these transplants come from Northern Virginia or DC proper, says Maraghy, not Maryland.
Take, for instance, Whitney Umarov. The 35-year-old, who works in local government, has lived in Alexandria for close to a decade. But she and her husband recently bought their first house in Richmond, and are moving there this spring. ”I am happy to still go in [to the office],” says Umarov of the drive. “But [now] I can do that and be able to own a home at the same time.”
That urban feel is exactly what Jenny Scott likes about her new neighborhood in Richmond. The 35-year-old federal consultant just sold her Alexandria townhouse and is moving into a 3,300-square-foot, four-bedroom, two-bath Colonial in Richmond that she and her husband purchased for $910,000. She can walk from her new house to breweries and restaurants, and she says the neighborhood almost reminds her of Del Ray—only better-priced.
