[quote=Anonymous]I live in Ashburn Village - while we're in the flight path for Dulles, we're far enough away that the noise isn't bad at all.  Most of the time, I don't even notice the planes, though there's occasionally a random one that comes in a bit lower and is loud.

Traffic within Ashburn is much less than in communities closer to the beltway - during the weekends and after work, it's very easy to get around to run errands and such.  Great grocery stores, and easy access to things like sports/fitness facilities and music lessons.

I agree with the poster who commented about the bike path - our development also has pretty lakes, with lots of walking paths that connect to the W&OD trail.  I spend a lot of time outdoors walking my dog, biking on the trail, or at the community pools.

One of the posters noted something about weather - honestly, the weather isn't any more severe than the weather in Montgomery County (where I lived before moving to Ashburn).  Eastern Loudoun is probably slightly cooler - so maybe a little bit more snow in the winter, but also slightly cooler temperatures in the summer.....though not really a substantial difference, in my opinion.

People are generally pretty friendly, but it's probably a lot more strongly family oriented than many other areas closer to DC.  Even though we don't have kids, the family centric-ness doesn't bother us, but I already have a strong social network (and generally enjoy other people's kids) - but this possibly could be a downside for other folks.

Downsides are that there aren't a lot established theater or music venues (though there are plenty of summer concert series), but it just isn't that big of a deal to make an occasional trip inside the beltway to catch a show or a good concert.[/quote]
