Housing affordability in the Washington DC metro area has been and continues to be challenging for many people, and though it’s not a new concept to commute into a city for work, the pandemic has made this a trending topic and consideration, especially in the DMV. In this episode, Alison is joined by Mimi Montgomery, the Home & Features Editor at Washingtonian Magazine who recently researched and penned an article about DC area home buyers moving to Richmond, VA for more affordable housing and a lower cost of living. In this episode, they discuss the findings of Mimi’s research and point out some of the potential concerns when considering a 2+ hour move from the place where your job is located.
