Exactly. If it's so far out in distance and in mind that you cannot spell it correctly, it's an ex-burb. LoudoUn is a perfect example.

So Great Falls might be considered an exurb, but really I think it's too close.

Middleburg is what I'd consider an exurb of DC.


No, it's a small town. Ashburn is an exurb. Definition: a place that sucks.

Definitely Leesburg. Maybe even Stafford.

In MD, it's tougher because Frederick Co. residents tend to associate more with Frederick Co.; although that's changed and is still changing. In the next 5-10 years, it will probably considered a solid exurb.

Centreville and GF are farther out suburbs but not ex burbs IMO.

Centreville is literally right next to manassas, so that's a little funny.

Interesting, I live in dc and still consider great falls and centreville suburbs.

I'd consider Leesburg or Manassass to be exurbs. Maybe Frederick. An exurb is such that the population identifies more with their town than the large city they commute to.
