[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have any insight into how the south Asian population are for neighbors? Do they typically distance themselves from non-south Asians?[/quote] 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. [/quote] I can't speak to the school aspect, but the Indians in my little neighborhood are crappy neighbors for the most part. Very unfriendly, keep to themselves, don't maintain their yards, etc. That's in our small community near Stone Ridge, off 50/south of Ashburn. The Afghans and Pakistanis are slightly nicer if you go out of your way to talk to them, whereas the Indians rebuff us. And yes, I know the difference, most of the time at least. We looked at Ashburn, especially Brambleton, but the commute is tough if you're going to DC or close-in burbs ie Arlington/Pentagon/Crystal City. Even tougher than ours, which also sucks. We chose Aldie/South Riding area because you get more bang for the buck. IMO, as nice as parts of Ashburn are, it's pretty damn expensive for what it is: far-flung suburb/exurb with bad traffic and tikky-tack planned communities. But good schools just about anywhere in LC. Home values seem to be good and going up, too. We have a significant chunk of equity in our home after 3 years out here. But damned if I don't miss living in the city every single day.[/quote]
