The Indians in my neighborhood tend to not understand that the green stuff growing in the front and back yards needs to be mowed at least every two weeks and if the homeowner isn't going to mow it, then they need to hire someone to do the mowing.
Thank GOD for my HOA!!

try and work with all Indians every day. I want to shoot myself.

Oh, you don't like hearing about how ignorant you are about India (best country)? Or having every work lunch be Indian food?

And everyone, knowing how to beat the standardized test system <> "smart." Ask these people to do anything requiring critical thinking, and utter panic will ensue.

You'd have to be nuts to send a white kid to that school.

I live in the city and dc's attend DCPS. Fascinating to see this sentiment that is seen towards schools with majority AA children in the city being played out towards Indian children in the suburbs.

Wow. My (Caucasian) kids went there and had a great experience. Such a racist thread. I don't have a problem with Indian neighbors, and I don't mind their smart kids driving up test scores, not getting into trouble, and bmw's everywhere.

Brambleton is nice also, definitely more socioeconomic mix and generally smaller homes than Loudoun Valley.

They usually keep to themselves and aren't usually as involved the pta but many buck the trend. They are also very smart and boost test scores.

If Indians and other Asians are as smart as they are always advertising, then why are their countries of origin so dysfunctional?

Anonymous wrote:We live in Loudoun Valley 3 (off of 606) and love it. We are caucasian (and are in the minority as the majority of our neighborhood is Indian / Pakistani), but it is a great neighborhood to raise a family. Our kids are always playing outdoors with their neighbor friends when weather allows, year around. It is not unusual to see impromptu soccer and basketball games with a very diverse mix of children. We liked LVE 3 better than the other LVE neighborhoods because of our access to commuter routes. Close to the Greenway, Toll Road, 50, and 28.....plus the airport access and soon the Silver Line. Several in our community commute to Bethesda and DC (including me). If you have any flexibility with your hours, you can minimize your commute. My typical commute is 35-45 minutes which puts me in the office at 7am and I am home by 4:30pm. My husband has used the commuter bus which is just down the road from our house to go into DC and loves it. Super convenient and he can either work or sleep on the way. The best part is that we will have the new Silver Line station just 2 miles down the road in a couple of years and they are building a walk/bike path behind the privacy wall that is going up in front of our neighborhood so it is even more easily accessible without parking concerns. If you ever travel by air, you can literally be at the gate in Dulles in 10-15 minutes (which my husband and I both enjoy due to business and personal travel) and there is really no noise from the airport because of the direction of the runways. We might occasionally see one of the international flights in the early evening, but we don't have noise disturbance at all. Finally, one of the best things about our neighborhood (that honestly we didn't realize when we bought here because we didn't have kids yet) is that fact that you can pick and choose community and kid activities based on your preferences / schedules. You are located right in the middle of Ashburn, Brambleton, South Riding.......our kids have played in SR and Ashburn soccer leagues, danced in SR and Ashburn, played basketball in all three communities, etc. It is nice to not be restricted to just one planned community.

There are a few homes for sale in our neighborhood and I believe most of them are cross-country relocations......there is a little inconvenience right now as they are expanding the main road to our neighborhood (606), so the prices are reduced because of it. Nice time to get in at a lower value as we know our home values will escalate as soon as the road construction is done in 2017 along with the Silver Line. Hope this helps!
