The Seal of The Commonwealth of Virginia depicts the virtues of heroism, righteousness, freedom and valor triumphing over a tyrannical adversary. This artistic representation is personified and perpetuated in the outstanding character of the state's citizens and its vibrant heritage. Virginians helped frame the Unites States Constitution, and over two centuries later the state continues its pioneering ways by maintaining one of the nation's top public school systems and being the home of several top ranking universities. The state's rich culture and natural beauty serve as the backdrop for a variety of Virginia luxury homes that range from the doorstep of the nation's capital in the north, through the elegant estates of Richmond, down to the relaxing waterfront residences of Virginia Beach.
