[quote=Anonymous]We live in Loudoun Valley 3 (off of 606) and love it. 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![/quote]
