Subject: This is why people buy in ashburn, you would die for a home like this in arlington
That house in Assburn is gross. If it is your dream home, you clearly grew up in a trailer.
The houses in Assburn are the dream homes of first generation-out-of-the-trailer-park, middle-class-wanna-bees.
The outside is God Awful. And Good Lord but those floors are an eyesore. Seriously. The floors damage your eyes. Only a person who didnt grow up in a home with real, beautiful, classic wood floors would do that to a a plank of wood.
That said, Arlington is not exactly winning any beauty contests. There are a few exceptions in Arlington such as a few blocks of Maywood, some streets in Lyon Village or Lyon Park, and slivers of Country Club Hills but, in general, Arlington has way too many nasty split levels and ramblers. Still, Arlington looks like Tuxedo Park, NY, compared to Assburn.

Would you 'die' if you had to commute from Ashburn to Tysons, or Reston, or somewhere in Loudoun County?
+1 ! I love how so many DC and Arlington folks seem to think that everyone still works in DC. I'm a gov employee, we got relocated to Fairfax 2 years ago.
+100
The house in the original post was not an attractive example of homes in Ashburn.
I'd much rather live in Ashburn than Arlington.
And we in Arlington would much rather you live in Ashburn.

No, I would die if I had to live in that house, especially in Ashburn.

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky tacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's GS-11's and IT Drones,
And mid-level executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.
And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

Do you really need to ask? Most Ashburn residents can live without bars on their windows. As an extra plus, their skulls are still largely intact, which cannot be said for Hill denizens.

OP premise is silly, but I suppose the house would make sense for a huge family with employees in the Dulles corridor with a taste for new affordable opulence at the expense of seasoned charm. Probably not a niche hugely represented on DCUM. And it does demonstrate one end of a range that $650k buys in the region. What's that get you close in in a top school district, a 1,500 s.f. fixer-upper? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it is a huge difference in housing at the price point.

You know what that site doesn't recommend? Pruning a tree to keep it smaller.
If you want a tree to stay below a certain height, you need to plant a tree that doesn't grow that tall. You can't just prune it to keep it small.
coz they don't have the money to do it.
I guess you spend your vast riches to top lop all of the tree on your lot? I always wondered who mangled their trees like that. Now it's all making sense....
there is a difference between topping ad pruning. read the above website.
