[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boring, devoid of culture, and rich in traffic.  Wegman's will be the center of your universe.

Since there is a Tysons commute in your household, consider the area around Hunter Mill Rd.  Close to Tysons, solidly suburban, but much more accessible to DC, Tysons, Reston, etc.

In Ashburn you're only close to Leesburg, Dulles Town Center, and that unfinished Loudoun Town Center (the place with the Uncle Julios and a few other restaurants surrounded by parking lots and new construction residences on tiny lots) apparent failure.  [/quote]

To each is own, the suburbs aren't for everyone, but we love it out here.  Although I do love Wegmans, there's plenty of other things to do, especially of you have a family.

[b]As far as "Loudoun Town Center" goes...you mean One Loudoun which has something like 20 restaurants, an Alamo theater which is great (and just expanded) a kids concert series and splash pads for the in the summer? Sure, the restaurants are fairly common place but to call it an apparent failure? Weird[/b].  [/quote]

+1 to this.  One Loudoun is really quite nice.

Ashburn is really quite large, with many different communities.  We moved into a SFH in Ashburn Village just this year.  We got more bang for our buck, home-wise, than we would closer in.  Schools seem to be very good (our DD isn't school-age yet), and it works well with our commutes.  We looked around quite a bit, and we chose the area north of the toll road (20147) specifically because most of the neighborhoods were more mature.  The 20148 area seemed to be piled full of construction and cookie-cutter homes, and both of us wanted a more "settled" area with trees, wider streets. larger lots, etc.  Similar to previous posters, I can walk to the W&OD, the bank, local grocery store, community centers/pools/playgrounds/tennis courts, etc.  
I'm not bothered by the plane noise from Dulles.  On occasion, one will go over the neighborhood on approach into Dulles, but it isn't this constant noise of jet engines, 24/7, like some people seem to think.
