What does qabiil have to do with anything? I thought this topic was about SOMALIS IN VIRGINIA?

I got some relatives in Maryland. Had couple of chances to go there but never did. I like my city and wouldn't go anywhere else except back home.

Debating moving to the DMV for work. Love the city, but don't love the cost. A question to those who live there.... Which suburbs do the Somalis live in. Richmond, Fredericksburg? Is there any type of suburban somali community?? Hoping to move family with me so I can have them close by. Thanks

Richmond is 2 hours from DC Fredericksburg is also far out

Most Somalis live in Fairfax, Falls Church, Arlington, and Alexanderia.

The richer ones live out in McLean, Manassas, Chantily... Even out towards Reston (Dulles Airport area), Leesburg, and Ashburn.

If you're a young guy, move to Arlington or Alexandria... You can find affordable rents. If you trying to find a house, better look outside the Beltway (I-495).

PG County, Maryland also has some affordable spots

.

Thanks for the input! Ciao

What cities are outside the 'beltway' ??

Saaxib, Stay out in Maryland. Few Somalis, cheaper rents and you can remain anonymous unlike Virginia. As a newbie, you will be found out and can't enjoy the city in peace. DC is a great city for a single guy !

If you are looking for Somali interaction, then stay in Arlington, Alexandria. However, be warned that the sisters out here are top of their game. Shid, even AW had to proceed with caution and tactful retreat from some.

Do you have the actual names to the cities, so i can look up their property listings. I am by no means rich. 2000 or rent break my bank.

lol@ sisters on top of their game. Somali women don't phase me anymore --- once i've been to the screwface capital t.o., everything else falls short in comparison.

In PG County, Maryland: check out Laurel, Greenbelt, Bowie, Lanham, Hyattsville (new areas), New Carrolton

Somalis live in Riverdale, Maryland... and if you venture out to Montgomery County, Maryland you will find some in the city of Silver Spring and its surroundings. Ethiopians are by far the majority in this area in terms of East Africans.

UMES... Morgan has STDs everywhere... I think you can get one just by breathing the air on that campus.

UMES is a bit of hick country since its on the other side of the shore though...

DMV has high HIV rate at 4% I wonder what Somali HIV rate is in the DMV
