[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in Leesburg, However, I work in IT, where there are plenty of jobs from Tysons on west. I wouldn't commute from Leesburg/Ashburn any further in than Arlington -- and even then only if I could work from 6-3 or the such.

Metro is a sure thing, the Loudoun Board of Supervisors approved it in a 5-4 vote. Nonetheless, it won't come out until 2018.

Is Ashburn itself appealing to you, or would you consider Stafford County (near Fredericksburg), or Urbana (near Frederick)? Would you consider living in DC's edge towns (Leesburg, Frederick, Fredericksburg, Warrenton, or Annapolis)? You'll find it's different living in an area that's had a separate history for 200+ years than living in "random suburban subdivision."

I assume you've worked out the budgetary issues.

To be honest, if it's shiny new suburbia you want, and hubby's job/career is pretty DC-centric, I'd be looking at places along the MARC or VRE lines, e.g. Urbana, Gainesville, or Stafford. But those only work if your hubby is able to work 8-5 or fairly close to it. [/quote]

Metro is not a sure thing b/c eventhough Loudoun approved, the money is still in question.[/quote]
