[quote=Anonymous]I used to live in Herndon and owned rentals in Ashburn. Right now I live in McLean. I love being able to get to places I frequent in Maryland, Arlington, and DC without that extra 20-25 minute drive. What used to be a 45 minute family eating out night in Rockville is now a short 15-20 minute away.  My kids go to the best schools - schools that perform well due to superior overall quality, rather than artificial concentration of talent through AAP placement. I am less than two miles from the center of Tysons, the premier shopping center in the DC metro region with a vibrant decades-long plan of continued modernization. The spot of McLean I am in have large R-1 lots, going through rapid tear down and redevelopment where shitshacks are replaced with 2-3 million dollar homes. We are surrounded by towering old growth trees, and many of our neighbors spend more on landscaping than the average US population spend on entire houses. Yes we about that life.

For a young family starting out, Ashburn it's a great place to be. If you work near Dulles, or Reston, the commute is awesome. The planned community takes a lot of unknowns away, greatly reducing the risks and costs of home ownership. The close proximity to other younger families means that your kids will always have ample friends to play with for that great neighborhood feel. When I lived in Herndon, it could have just as well been Ashburn. It was exactly the right neighborhood for us at that stage of our lives. Since then I've lived in other parts of northern Virginia. All these have been transitional, places that were suitable for us at that time.[/quote]
