[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a slight tangent, would someone please explain to me why these houses have a 22066 Great Falls address, yet they are in Loudoun County?  The subdivision is called Great Falls Forest.  They go to Loudoun schools (and the price reflects that); I just don't understand why they have a 22066 zipcode.

The Zip code crosses the county line.  The Post Office is smart enough not to send mail all the way down Seneca from Loudoun to deliver.  Loudoun County school buses make that run every day.[/quote]

Thank you. I didn't know zip codes could cross county lines. To bring this back to the thread, it's amazing to me what a difference in price a school makes. These Loudoun houses are 4 bed, 2.5 bath on 1/4 acre, and seem to compare to the Holly Knoll subdivision just down the street -- 4 bed, 2.5 bath on 1/2 acre. That extra 1/4 acre and Langley school district adds at least $200K!  I haven't been in person; maybe there are more differences. Right now it looks like the school.  I'd be very upset if I bought in western GF for Langley, and then it got redistricted and the house went down that much. [/quote]
