West Springfield = Crofton/Odenton
Lorton = Urbana
Loudoun County = Howard County. Ashburn is essentially Columbia, while the other more rural parts with large homes on a lot of land are equal to Clarksville, Marriottsville, and Glenelg.


This is right but I think Chevy Chase MD is more closer to North Arlington

I would say Columbia is like Reston - Planned communities. Ellicott City/Clarksville is like Sterling, Loundon County.

Hello person who lives in the 270 corridor who tells everyone they live in Bethesda, but its Darnestown at best


Lol. I am a MoCo native, but not from controversial Darnestown. Living in NOVA almost 20 years.

Ya'll are bad at this, esp the last poster who just chose her own areas?

Vienna = Catonsville
McLean = The old Bethesda side towards the river
Oakton = Flower Valley
Chantilly = Columbia
Manassas = Severna Park. Not the nice side
Old Town( City of Alex) = Annapolis?
Dumfries = Ellicott City
Ashburn = Columbia. The nicer part
Great Falls = Darnestown, but not those zips
Fairfax (city) = North Bethesda
Lorton = Hagerstown


Dumpfries is more like half Ellicott City and half Glen Burnie. And Lorton is Hagerstown? LOL.

Nothing really compares to Chevy Chase , Glen Echo, Brookmont or Cabin John, or Poolesville or Frederick.









The non Manassas city part of Manssas is more like Edgewater or Davidsonville. Rednecks mixed with highly affluent people.

All these seem roughly the same to me so maybe a shorter list and what you’re trying to find. Distance to downtown? Price? Zoning? Something else?
