[quote=Anonymous]I have lived in Arlington, Fairfax, and Loudoun counties and there are of course pros and cons of each. We bough in Loudoun most recently because we were tired of the congestion and overcrowding we experienced in Fairfax. We took one ride out to Loudoun and realized there was actual nice green space, the neighborhoods seemed well planned out and far away from the major roads, the shopping centers didn't feel littered and decrepit, and the schools were significantly better in terms of organization, leadership, and maintenance, not to mention there were no trailer classrooms and the county is dealing with the growth well. We don't commute into DC (one commute to Reston, the other WFH) so this location makes sense for our family. We have a 5000 sq foot house on half acre which we could not get in Arlington or many parts of Fairfax. The newer developments feel crammed in (Brambleton, Willowsford, etc.), but there are some beautiful parts of Ashburn/Leesburg that have decent houses and lot sizes. People talk about Loudoun as being a suburb of DC, but no one I know actually commutes to DC, they all commute to Reston/Tysons/Herndon. The Dulles Tech corridor actually just passed Silicon Valley in the number of tech jobs, so the economy here is really self sustaining.[/quote]
