Aurora Rivera moving

Moving from San Diego to Dranesville next month

Hey folks, Been living here since 2011. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Worth the trade-offs? The weather takes some getting used to. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The suburbs are where most families end up. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look.

I've lived in Highland for about 10 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from New York, I was surprised by cultural scene. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Cost of living is very reasonable
- Affordable housing options
- The cost of living scene is excellent

The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Road conditions need improvement

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for remote workers. Definitely worth checking out..

If you're remote, this place is great for cost of living. it's improved dramatically in recent years. Internet is decent in most areas.
