Anyone looking for a place to live in Northern Virginia should plan to visit the 2012 Northern Virginia Housing Expo, hosted by Fairfax-based nonprofit AHOME in cooperation with the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA), the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church, the counties of Arlington, Fairfax and Loudoun, and the Town of Herndon.
Showcasing both homeownership and rental opportunities and resources throughout Northern Virginia, the event will feature workshop and exhibits designed to educate attendees about location options, being prepared for buying or renting and more. Free classes include “Are You Ready to Rent?,” “Are You Ready to Buy?,” “The ABCs of Credit and Credit Scores” and “Financing Your Home.” A current list of exhibitors and class times can be found at www.NoVaHousingExpo.org.
The expo, whose location will rotate annually throughout Northern Virginia, is being held at Arlington’s Washington-Lee High School at 1301 North Stafford Street, which offers free parking and is just four blocks north of the Virginia Square Metro station. This is the second annual expo produced by this collaborative effort; the 2011 Northern Virginia Housing Expo, held last June, featured more than 60 exhibitors and hundreds of attendees. More information about the expo is being made available online at www.NoVaHousingExpo.org; you can also “like” the Northern Virginia Housing Expo on Facebook and follow @NoVaHousingExpo on Twitter to receive event updates.
