[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren't those toll roads insanely expnesive?[/quote]

I love Ashburn's modern community planning (wide streets), new homes, planned communities.  But, I hate the toll road.  I have a hard time thinking friends would visit if they had to pay $10 each time.... in addition to the gas.  Plus, I wouldn't want to pay the tolls all the time.  It jacks up the actual price of living there.

We ended up in Vienna after looking hard at Reston, Chantilly and Ashburn.  I like the houses and the general spaciousness of roadways better in Reston, Chantilly and Ashburn compared to Vienna.  But in the end, the proximity to workplaces and secondary workplaces plus good schools won out.  (Had no issue with Ashburn schools, but did have some concerns about Reston).  We had to spend a lot more, and got a much smaller lot in Vienna, with an older house (not terribly old, but older than the others)... but it has worked out better.  Commuting from Ashburn and Chantilly would have been harder.  Of course with the covid shutdown, the commute hasn't mattered much.  I think I would have fit in better in Ashburn (Broadlands, really), but Vienna has ultimately been a good situation for us.[/quote]
