However, you will find 2 major components that keep them here and influence them to invest in real estate: ample job opportunities and reasonably priced housing. The capital is both the the location of the Virginia govt together with a Federal Reserve. Va is recognized for its professional medical presence with MCV and Children’s Hospital and several colleges and universities to include Virginia Commonwealth University, U of R, and Virginia Union. On top of that, it is the home office of six Fortune 500 corporations to include Dominion Power, CarMax and Mead. Fort Lee is considered the third largest training site in the Army. Defense Supply Center (DSCR), the location of DLA Aviation functions as the military’s primary source for repair parts and operating supply items.
