When we bought our first house there I was so excited to be part of a community and was looking forward to becoming close to my neighbors. After 3 years it's come to the point where I don't even feel like I live in America anymore. There's nothing wrong with it but if you are looking for being a part of something where you live then do not live here. I regret buying a house here and am looking to move next year. I will be looking for a diverse neighborhood with neighbors who look out for each other.

I live in LVII as well and there are a number of white households that live around me. The Indians I live around are generally younger and more Americanized.

We are caucasian (and are in the minority as the majority of our neighborhood is Indian / Pakistani), but it is a great neighborhood to raise a family. Our kids are always playing outdoors with their neighbor friends when weather allows, year around. It is not unusual to see impromptu soccer and basketball games with a very diverse mix of children. We liked LVE 3 better than the other LVE neighborhoods because of our access to commuter routes. Close to the Greenway, Toll Road, 50, and 28.....plus the airport access and soon the Silver Line. Several in our community commute to Bethesda and DC (including me). If you have any flexibility with your hours, you can minimize your commute. My typical commute is 35-45 minutes which puts me in the office at 7am and I am home by 4:30pm. My husband has used the commuter bus which is just down the road from our house to go into DC and loves it. Super convenient and he can either work or sleep on the way. The best part is that we will have the new Silver Line station just 2 miles down the road in a couple of years and they are building a walk/bike path behind the privacy wall that is going up in front of our neighborhood so it is even more easily accessible without parking concerns. If you ever travel by air, you can literally be at the gate in Dulles in 10-15 minutes (which my husband and I both enjoy due to business and personal travel) and there is really no noise from the airport because of the direction of the runways. We might occasionally see one of the international flights in the early evening, but we don't have noise disturbance at all. Finally, one of the best things about our neighborhood (that honestly we didn't realize when we bought here because we didn't have kids yet) is that fact that you can pick and choose community and kid activities based on your preferences / schedules. You are located right in the middle of Ashburn, Brambleton, South Riding.......our kids have played in SR and Ashburn soccer leagues, danced in SR and Ashburn, played basketball in all three communities, etc. It is nice to not be restricted to just one planned community.

There are a few homes for sale in our neighborhood and I believe most of them are cross-country relocations......there is a little inconvenience right now as they are expanding the main road to our neighborhood (606), so the prices are reduced because of it. Nice time to get in at a lower value as we know our home values will escalate as soon as the road construction is done in 2017 along with the Silver Line. Hope this helps!

35 minutes to DC from Loudoun Valley? At 4:30am during weekdays maybe.

This is a DC forum. Locations discussed are no where near the DMV.

A few people that I know who live in Brambleton are Trump supporters. And they are Asian. They make it sound like there is a huge support for Trump.

We just built in LVII. Both our neighbors are Caucasian as are we, and anyone we have come across (Indian or Asian) has been friendly or keeps to themselves. Commute to Arlington is about 50 min leaving at 7am.

They usually keep to themselves and aren't usually as involved the pta but many buck the trend. They are also very smart and boost test scores.

If Indians and other Asians are as smart as they are always advertising, then why are their countries of origin so dysfunctional?

We are mostly getting the cream of the crop. Dysfunctional ones mostly stay there, thank God.

You'd have to be nuts to send a white kid to that school.

I live in the city and dc's attend DCPS. Fascinating to see this sentiment that is seen towards schools with majority AA children in the city being played out towards Indian children in the suburbs.

Wow. My (Caucasian) kids went there and had a great experience. Such a racist thread. I don't have a problem with Indian neighbors, and I don't mind their smart kids driving up test scores, not getting into trouble, and bmw's everywhere.

Brambleton is nice also, definitely more socioeconomic mix and generally smaller homes than Loudoun Valley.

No matter how nice, well educated, wealthy, and well-behaved they are, there is nothing wrong with not wanting to be one of the few whites in a majority Indian community.

There aren’t as many Indians in the northern section of Ashburn (20147). They’re there but not to the extent of 20148.

Oh sorry that Loudoun Count doesn’t exist for you.

Most of the topics on this forum apply to us too. But trust me, I’m so glad to have moved out of Fairfax County amd your precious “DC area”!

If you take the Loudoun County Commuter bus it'll be 80% Indian and smell like body odor. They love to talk on their cell phones the entire time...even though its not allowed.

try and work with all Indians every day. I want to shoot myself.

Oh, you don't like hearing about how ignorant you are about India (best country)? Or having every work lunch be Indian food?

And everyone, knowing how to beat the standardized test system <> "smart." Ask these people to do anything requiring critical thinking, and utter panic will ensue.

Meh... I work in a company where I am one of 2 Indians. I work with black, white, brown all sorts of people and trust me when I say this that all of them just do bare minimum. I am the only one who applies any "critical thinking" skills and save the group every.single.time we have major deliverables. Smart people are smart and lazy and dumb are the same in every race, culture. I am not saying some people of Indian origin can't be insufferable, sure they can be but so can be whites or blacks or other races. Try applying some "critical thinking" yourself and not overgeneralize.

The Indians in my neighborhood tend to not understand that the green stuff growing in the front and back yards needs to be mowed at least every two weeks and if the homeowner isn't going to mow it, then they need to hire someone to do the mowing.
Thank GOD for my HOA!!

I am an Indian and I hate I have to remind my DH to keep the yard maintained, I hate this and sadly you are correct.
