"We founded America. BAM!! What's up?"

The BEST place to live is so amazing that Disney (c.) even decided to make a movie about it. How do you beat that? That's right, you CAN'T.
Yorktown, Virginia is my FAVORITE place that I've lived so far in my life. That's saying something, especially once you know how many different places I've lived. One of the wonderful things about Yorktown, is all the history behind it. Yorktown is where we won The American Revolution, and it's part of what is known as "The Historic Triangle." Jamestown (the first permanent residence that didn't disappear) and Willamsburg (the capital of the Colonies for a LONG time) are the other other two places. Between the three different places, America found it's feet and became the nation it is to day. The state slogan is "Virginia is for Lovers," but it should be "We founded AMERICA! Bam!!! What's up?!" This isn't the only thing of interest, however. In 1995 Disney (c.) decided to make a movie about Pocahontas, which just so happened to be set in Jamestown. Jamestown was an extremely significant place in American history.
Virginia also has TREES. and GRASS. two things that the Western United States could stand to learn about. Another physical feature that makes Yorktown the best place to live is that it's a mere half hour drive to the ocean, and just a few hours drive to the scenic Skyline Drive of Blue Ridge Mountains. No matter if you're a water fan, or prefer to hike, there's something for you.
If you're not such a fan of the nature, no worries! Busch Gardens is right down the road, and once you get a season pass, you and your friends can fun all day! There are also several convient nearby malls that you can shop at, all without having to live in a big city.
Most importantly, the people are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. You're right by a major Air Force Base (Langley), so new people are common. It's just become second habit to many of the citizens to just smile and say hello, regardless of if they know you are not. Neighbors are friendly to one another, and make sure to welcome newcomers into the neighboorhoods.
Yorktown, Virginia is amazing, and while you could look at pictures and say "oh, I guess it's pretty enough", you have to go there to truely realize the beauty of the trees and the Grass; especially right inbetween spring and Summer, when there are so many different shades of green that it physically makes your eyes hurt if you stare at them too long. Or to sit and watch the ocean crash into the land, the foam turning the brown sand bubbly and white. Or even to go visit the ruins of an old plantation surrounded by massive oaks that seem to almost protect the ghosts of the people who lived there before you.
If you ever get to decided where you're going to live, I would defiantely say Yorktown, Va is the ONLY place to live.
