Hey, you can use Docker for this purpose. Containers are lightweight and are easier to set-up/destroy. Even docker is not required, you can simply use npm init command to setup a local node project which by default will not interfere with other projects.

I have thought about using Docker, but I am not at a point to go that route yet.

Cool. Since you've played with VMs, docker would be like a cake for you !
