Moving to Hollymead

The cost of living near the nation's capital is typically higher than the national average, and this is true in Hollymead. However, living in a small town such as Hollymead means that there are more desirable places to live in than in the larger towns and cities. House rentals in Hollymead include a wide range of options, from 3 bedroom houses for rent to 1 bedroom apartments to convenient studio apartments. So whether you are looking for a small place that offers quiet living, or a larger residence to grow with, you'll find lots of great places to choose from. When conducting a home search or apartment search, make sure to do your due diligence. This means that you should put together a detailed wish list so you know which qualities are most important to you. Check out the local papers and online housing listings, and consider contacting a realtor to help you find the perfect place to live. If you are willing to commute, there are ample government jobs in the greater Washington D.C., area. The University of Virginia is located in nearby Charlottesville, with all the charm of a historic college town.

Neighborhoods in Hollymead

There are many desirable neighborhoods in the area. You will find all of the neighborhoods have their own charm, and all offer rentals, so check out as many as you can before you settle on your favorite.

Forest Lakes: This is one of the largest neighborhoods, and it tends to offer more homes for sale rather than rent.

Deerwood: This is also an attractive neighborhood with lots of rental options to suit a wide variety of aesthetics. You'll need a car to commute, however, as nearly all of the residents drive to work.
