Hey, Military spouse here. It's a a smaller city city with about 72,793 people. The unemployment rate is 3.0%, which is pretty low. Crime rate is something to consider -Dale City sits at 76.8 per 100K. Median household income is $113,245, which feels pretty solid for the area. Property taxes are high but you get good services. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. The city has invested a lot in new development. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
