[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]or just can’t look at four years from now. I live in 20171 where a lot of the neighborhoods were built 30-40 years ago and are just now starting to turn over. Our neighborhood of 100 houses is mostly retirees who will be moving out I. The next five to ten years and guess who will be buying? Young couples and young families. The surrounding neighborhoods are very similar. You can’t just look at projections for the next four years and new construction. Boomers are retiring in droves and these neighborhoods will soon be turning over like hotcakes. Tons of children in those high schools in 20 years. Especially this new one. [/quote]

I live in 20171 and our neighborhood might be 5-10 years ahead of yours. Most of our older neighbors seem to be aging in place. Downsizing is expensive due to interest rates, and a lot of the family/friends are here. They have the money for renovations and are doing the kinds of things you do if you are staying put for a long time (e.g. new back porch with a hot tub). I wouldn’t assume everyone or even half of the older folks will be moving out. The price point isn’t so favorable to young families either. And a lot of people who can afford a home in 20171 just opt for something newer and bigger in Loudoun since many are commuting along the tech corridor anyway. Long story short I wouldn’t necessarily assume a huge turnover because there are a lot of factors at play. [/quote]

I also live in 20171, and anecdotally, it seems like the turnover is already well underway in my neighborhood. We’ve got a handful of high school and middle school students, but the elementary students literally fill up an entire school bus. [/quote]
