Families like Suffolk because it has so much room and it easily offers a modern country lifestyle. Besides it's open fields, Suffolk has pine and hardwood forests and over 8,000 acres of lakes for some the state's best freshwater fishing. Despite the country feel to living, Suffolk's economy is diverse. This is due in part to a regional workforce second only to Silicon Valley's in it's number of scientists and engineers. This is because Suffolk is home to the Virginia Modeling, Analysis and Simulation Center which forecasts mass transit needs for the next century. The US Atlantic Command Joint Training, Analysis and Simulation Center is also in Suffolk.
