TERRY:  There are areas of Northern Virginia that have much lower-priced single family homes, but in Alexandria and Arlington, where you have the benefit of proximity to D.C., you can't find a single family home for under $400,000.  Tough indeed for people relocating from the mid-West, though people moving here from NYC, California, Boston, etc., do not have so much in the way of sticker shock.
