My husband is stationed at Quantico. We chose to buy a house in Fredericksburg because housing prices were so low and it is so much cheaper than renting and the waiting list for housing on Quantico is crazy long.
The area is amazing there is so much history here to learn and so much to see. We have been to so many battle fields and have learned so much. I recommend if anyone is relocating to Quantico consider Fredericksburg.
