Keep middleburg out of this thread. It’s in the Northern Piedmont and not in Northern Virginia.

This side of the Appalachian is NoVa. Curving around to Culpeper and Fredericksburg.

Middleburg is right next to Leesburg. It is NoVA.

It’s not prestigious if nobody heard about it. It’s not about if you know you know type of thing. When it comes to real estate it’s what on people’s radar vs. not. Like, nobody literally gives a hoot about some exclusive enclave in the Bronx when talking about most prestigious areas of NYC despite it’s localized prestige.

Like literally you’d probably have NYC people mentioning Riverdale in the Bronx as an exclusive area so, like, your analogy sucks.

Northern Virginia isn’t geographic - it’s a cultural demarcation consisting of portions of the northern Piedmont and northern tidewater regions. And culpeper isn’t in northern Virginia and neither is Middleburg.

And “the Appalachian” isn’t a thing. The Blue Ridge, part of the Appalachian chain, form the western boundary of the Piedmont. Past the blue ridge you have the Highlands containing the Ridge and Valley region.

There are other cultural regions, such as the Northern Neck (which if you take literally could mean anything between the Rappahannock and Potomac rivers in the whole state), northern Piedmont, south side, and many more. Northern Virginia is one of these - not defined by in geographic terms but in cultural ones and there’s nothing culturally similar between Culpeper and Arlington.

For all intents and purposes, the western border of Northern Virginia is Route 15.
You people come from other places, tell the locals there’s no culture here, and don’t even bother learning about the local areas.

In history, Leesburg, Culpeper, Fairfax, and Alexandria had far more cultural ties because the commerce that flowed east/west from the port in Alexandria, but those ties have mostly disappeared. Though it’s notable that Rte 7/Leesburg Pike/King St and 50/Little River Turnpike (Little river itself being an area near Middleburg)/John Mosby Highway are continuous roads connecting Winchester and Old Town.

Not relevant to this absurd pissing match about which shitty suburb is best, but it seemed like you newcomers needed to learn a bit about Virginia.

You are only embarrassing yourself by taking things so literally, with no understanding of culture. Are you also the moron on here who keeps insisting that every white Protestant of British extraction is a WASP?

Del Ray is 22301. Youre obviously too poor to know that.

Ashburn above Del Ray???? Baileys Crossroads as an equal???!!!?

Stop feeding the (poor and brown) trolls people. No rich white person would ever pick either above Del Ray!!!!

22305 is mostly the crime-ridden, gang-infested hellscape that is Arlandria. But a lot of Beverley Hills is in 22305. Arlandria is arguably worse than Bailey’s Crossroads.

Is this the same person that keeps posting these threads? Move Annandale down to Tier 4.

T1
- Tysons (convenient, booming development, concentrated wealth, Cap1)
- Del Ray (proximity to DC, local charm, JD Vance + other celebrity residents)

T2
- Great Falls (old money, estates)
- Old Town, Rosemont, Beverly Hills (cultured, pedigreed owners)
- Arlington - Clarendon-Ballston Corridor (Walkable, up and coming, food, proximity to DC)

T3
- McLa(m)e (chopped up, pastiche of 60s-80s homes well past their prime, traffic)
- Arlington - everywhere else (disconnected, patchy, some nice places)
- Fairfax (Vienna, Oakton, etc. - hardcore suburbs)
- Centreville (good food but too far)

T4
- Loudon county (data centers as neighbors)
- Manassas (peaceful but civil war ghosts)
- Burke (nice lake, too far)

Dumpster
- Route 1 alexandria
- Everywhere else

This has to be a comedy post. Clarendon-Ballston corridor up and coming? Maybe 25 years ago. Haha.

Route 1 from amazon to fort Belvoir is being bulldozed and redone over next 4 yrs. 1 billion invested so far. Many business are now bought/boarded up and being flattened. Will be interesting if they pull it off.

I live off route 1 (and DGAF about its tier). It has been interesting how much they are building over here - I was surprised at how many ‘nice’ businesses have opened and are opening nearby (a first watch, a club Pilates, Orangetheory, etc.) I am not a fan of the dumpy garden style apartments and wish they would raise them, but you do have most everything you need close by.

Sterling has a northern section that is nicer and similar to Ashburn. South of route 7 it becomes a bit sketchier

Del Ray neighborhoods are full of rainbow and BLM flags. Some people prefer not to live around the virtue signaling woke cult members.
