We are all aware of the recent Coronavirus pandemic, and we
wanted to reach out and assure you that we are taking every necessary effort
and precaution to protect the health and safety of our employees, clients and
community. While the virus does affect the methods in which traditional
business operations are conducted, rest assured that we will continue to
operate to the best of our abilities. Our Licata Group team of Full Time
Real Estate Advisors are adapting to best meet the needs of clients, and our
employees to continue operations. As times change, we must change with them. It
is for that reason that we are here to inform you how we will be operating
until further notice.
Our Licata Group office will continue to operate
within normal business hours with limited personnel occupying the facility in
order to ensure a healthy working environment. This may change within
the coming weeks should the Governor issue a quarantine. Should that occur, our
Administrative and Client Support staff are prepared to begin working from
home, while still performing their necessary duties.
Our Real Estate Advisors will continue their
efforts in both the buying and selling process, while taking the necessary
precautions to ensure that the health and safety of everyone is protected.
This includes sanitizing all doorknobs and any other frequently touched surface
with Alcohol wipes, and antibacterial products.
As you are aware, one of the most crucial parts of the home
buying and selling process are showings and open houses.
Showings will continue to occur; however,
we urge both clients and staff to take the necessary precautions when entering
a home. This includes frequent sanitization, and proper self-distancing.
At this time, all traditional Open Houses have
been postponed until it is deemed safe for the public. That being said, we will
begin conducting Virtual Open Houses that will walk clients through each
home, while explaining everything about the property. These virtual open houses
will be displayed on the homepage of our websites, as well as our various
social media platforms. Viewers are encouraged to ask any and all questions
they may have, to which our advisors will promptly respond to.
We will continue to update you on any further changes that
may occur. With the way our world is changing, it’s important to remain

There is an ever-growing number of
people moving out of New York and trading their previous lifestyle for
something different. Luckily, there are so many cities, towns, and counties
that can provide you with everything you want your future neighborhood to have.
For instance, Orange County, VA is perfect for ex-New Yorkers for many reasons
we will try to analyze in this article.
A
little bit about Orange County
Orange County is a part of the Los
Angeles metropolitan area. With over 3 million inhabitants, it is the
third-most populous county in the state of California. The average annual
temperature of 20 degrees Celsius makes the county very pleasant for living.
Among other things, this is the reason why some Canadians decide to buy properties in Virginia. Orange County takes pride in its educational and sports opportunities.
At the same time, the county is home to many start-ups and overall successful
companies, which means that the economy is strong too.
Orange County, Va offers suburban lifestyle while having 3 million citizens
Ex New Yorkers move to Orange County
for the convenience of suburban living
Although it is a densely populated
area, Orange County is mostly suburban.
Many New Yorkers opt for living in houses instead of apartments when they move
to this area. Who can blame them? When they get tired of everything that the
“concrete jungle” has in store for them, they opt for leaving NY for good and trading it for the new lifestyle that they can have
here. Some of the benefits of living in Orange County in comparison to NYC
in terms of housing include:
not having to spend a fortune on rent in NYC – it is
not a secret that New York City is one of the most expensive cities in the
World for renting a place; Of course, not all NYC counties and
neighborhoods cost the same, but still, they are mostly overpriced.
being able to afford some home features and amenities
that you could only dream of in NYC. To be honest, a house with a nice
garden, a water view, or a swimming pool in your backyard comes with a
certain price tag in Orange County too, but the numbers are more realistic
than in NYC.
being able to earn some money on renting a vacation home you can buy in Virginia – A vacation home in Orange County can be a great
place for you to relax and earn some extra cash too. It turns out that in
many areas, the weekly fee you can get for renting out is greater than the
monthly mortgage payment.
The
slower pace of life is definitely a plus, but you might need to learn some new
skills
After moving from New York City to
Orange County, you will have more time for yourself since you won’t be spending
it in NYC traffic. On the other hand, a suburban lifestyle might require you
to have a driver’s license that you probably didn’t need in NYC.
You might need to learn how to drive after moving from NYC
Work/life balance is so much better
in rural areas
Just like we have already mentioned,
moving to a suburban or even rural area from an urban one such as NYC can save
you a lot of stress in your daily life. Commuting to work might be a little
time-consuming if you are used to living and working in the same part of the
city, but the benefits of space and money are there to compensate for the loss.
In fact, many companies follow the trend of moving their headquarters and
offices outside the city centers for these particular reasons. They are
able to choose much better spaces within their budget, plus they get overall
better working conditions for their employees.
Orange
County, VA can be perfect for ex New Yorkers with families
Whatever you crave for – NYC has it.
Be that business, culture, entertainment, or anything else, you will be able to
find it in New York. However, the Big Apple might not be an ideal place for
raising a family. That is exactly why people choose to leave it at a
certain period of their lives when they decide to start a family.
We all agree that raising children
is easier and often healthier in smaller places. Orange County, VA is specific
since it has a vast population, yet its citizens enjoy the privileges of living
in smaller communities.
For instance, the crime rate is much
lower than in NYC or some other bigger cities. This is usually the first factor
people consider when moving to a new town or city with their families.
After that, there is the healthcare
factor. Orange County has a great network of hospitals and clinics. Here are
some of those:
Mary Washington Healthcare/Mary Washington Hospital,
Fredericksburg
UVA – Culpeper Regional Hospital, Culpeper
University of Virginia Health System, Charlottesville
Martha Jefferson Hospital, Charlottesville
Education
in Orange County, VA is also something that can attract ex New Yorkers
Moving professionals such as dynamicmoversnyc.com noticed that there are many people who choose Orange County for their relocation from bigger cities in search of education. Whether they are the ones who plan to continue their schooling, or they would like their children to have better educational opportunities, here they can choose from a variety of public and private schools, colleges, and universities.
Education is one of the reasons why Orange County, Va is perfect for ex New Yorkers
Recreational
activities in Orange County
The parks in Orange County might not
be as impressive as Central Park in NYC, but they do offer a variety of
recreational to entertainment activities. From various sports that can be
practiced here to cultural events that are organized all-year-round, there is always something to do in Orange County, Virginia.
This is also a very famous surfing destination! The long sandy beaches will help you relax and forget about your previous hectic life in NYC. So, whatever your reason might be for moving to Orange County, VA, you can rest assured that you will find everything you need in your new hometown.
