If you’re moving to the areas that are near Fort Belvoir, Virginia, you probably think you have to sacrifice square footage to find a home that’s in your price range. This isn’t true. Head further south and you’ll be in good company of military members who prefer homes with larger yards and plenty of living space inside.

Beaver Ford - Woodbridge, Virginia

For Rent: $2,825/mo.

Renting a home in a city that is conducive to military life isn’t always an option. Location is an important component for a high quality of life, and living in a well-established and sought-after property in Old Bridge Estates is an excellent start to a new life in Woodbridge. Finding a home like this one to call yours for a while is a great opportunity.

The owners are offering the amenities most renters are looking for like hardwood flooring, Corian countertops, and a kitchen island. And, they’re offering other comforts beyond the traditional standards such as two fireplaces, a luxury master bathroom, and finished walkout basement with a full bathroom.

Five bedrooms are hard to come by, especially in a rental home, but there’s room for everyone here. A dedicated storage area in the basement means none of the bonus living space has to be used for unsightly and non-regularly used items.
