[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like you can get better bang for your buck out here (budget 900k ish). Thoughts? Anyone live there currently?

I moved to Ashburn a few years ago when prices were lower, we also had a budget up to 1M.  However, we did not like the big homes for 900K. the lots were too large and none of them were in walkable areas. We instead purchased a home in Ashburn Farm (I'm a PP) for 600K with the floor plan we wanted and lot we wanted, ignoring the finishes (the worse the better!) and put 225K into it to make it exactly the way we wanted it and still ended up with a home under our budget. We sunk 75K of that into the yard alone. Don't really care that we might never recoup our money because I honestly love love love walking into my home. our entire home was gutted from floors, kitchen, baths, lighting, windows, window treatments, and worked with an interior designer the whole time. My 1M could have purchased us a 6,000sq foot home on 2 lonely cleared acres, but instead we got a 3800sqft home on a half acre with mature trees and a home completely gutted to our taste and lifestyle.

DH also "works" in Tysons, but he is in sales and travels a lot, so being near Dulles is critical and I WFH (in my dream office, designed by me for me, [b]sound proof insulation[/b] and all!).[/quote]

Do you need that due to plane noise?[/quote]
