What other nearby-ish areas would be a great place to live. I don’t want new construction in a McMansion. Looking for a charming downtown, and a neighborhood with nice classic homes. Definitely prefer having neighbors, I don’t need a ton of acreage.

They know that their kids have an almost 10Xs better chance if admission from Blue Ridge than they do from Carson.

Wow that is intense.

Every time I visit I want to move but not sure what the dynamic is with the locals. Looks like remote work will be forever and although it’s not cheap to live in Middleburg it’s def a better value than DC.

I was just there yesterday and have no idea where you are getting tbis.

Americana used to be in Old Town. Fine antiques.

Brick and Mortar across the street is hilarious and irreverent.

Several high-end clothing stores.

The banks on the main drag are private wealth banks.

Cute ice cream store. Neat nursery. Tack Shops.

A brewery and a distillery.

It’s not a lot, but it’s hardly run down.

All the stores are for old people. No Whole Foods, no Mom's, no solidcore, no pure barre, no decent gym (forget about equinox), the closest decent derm is like 2 hours away. You have to drive 1+ hour in traffic to get to Tysons for some decent shopping. Median age is 55 years old. Hard pass.

Strange criteria. It does have gyms, a barre place, farmers markets nearby, doctors in Leesburg.

Sorry it doesn’t have the chains you seem to love. I guess you are too basic for it.

Basic like young and not needing 3 prescriptions for postmenopausal atrophic vaginitis? Repeat: median age is 55 years old. It's OLD. There's a middle age lady on the town's website with one brow higher than the other one (she should fire her injector) and dressed head to toe in beige. This is Middleburg for you. Thank you, I don't want to live near people in depends or Linda Tripp.

There's no decent dermos in all of loudon, like leesburg which is a half hour away? Even Chevy chase is an hour away, unsure about your other claims but the decent dermo two hours away comment is false.
