[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s funny every time a listing like this comes up, the DCUM crew who think they’re so wealthy and privileged hyperventilate about why someone would pay to live “SO FAR!!”. The entire market of western loudoun and adjacent areas is filled with large houses on large pieces of land and owned by people who have lots of money and don’t have to work in the same way DC-centric office drones need to, if they have to work at all. But to all the inside the beltway drones, these people can’t possibly be spending much on real estate because where does their money come from if they don’t work in a building in DC upstairs from a Chopt? Wait till you learn there are properties that cost 10x this much. The real money in the region lives in western Loudoun and they don’t care if you think they live far away and they’re unconcerned with what your commute would be if you lived where they do. To them, the people who are tied to their offices have the lowest quality of life and they can’t understand why anyone would pay millions to be on a 2000sf lot.[/quote] My DH and I both work fully remote and we still chose to be inside the beltway in a walkable neighborhood close to metro. Lots of my neighbors are the same. There’s plenty of money close-in and we’re not tied to some office building in DC (hence the dwindling commercial real estate market). I can’t understand why anyone would pay to live in a McMansion on a plot of land in exurban sprawl (I am someone who needs mature trees and a good coffee shop to walk to). To each their own, tell all the people in $3M+ homes in Arlington, McLean, Georgetown, CC, Bethesda etc. that the “real money” is practically out in WV.[/quote] We get that you "don't understand it." It's clear you don't understand a lot of things. But it's amusing you think your opinion is valid. This is often the case with people who are usually wrong but rarely in doubt, however. Stands to reason. BTW, the house posted isn't a "McMansion." That's an actual mansion. A lot of the properties out here are. This is where the old money is. People here aren't wage slaves. We also have mature trees and ... shhhhh ... cawfee. We also have wineries, breweries, mountains, axe throwing venues, charming towns with old fashioned main streets. We have ethnic restaurants and professional sports. All the things. And many things you cannot find closer in. [/quote]. NP There may be a ton of money in[b] louden[/b] but that house is [b]def[/b] a suburban style [b]mcmansion[/b]. And the landscaping is pretty basic or whatever you would call several notches below basic. It definitely makes me sad.[/quote] Learn to spell and use correct punctuation and grammar if you're going to put on airs. [/quote]
