Willowsford, Virginia
September 13th, 2011 Categories: Ashburn, Community Of The Week, Willowsford
Split between Ashburn and Aldie, VA is one of Loudoun County’s newest communities known as Willowsford. As a Realtor who loves new developments and Loudoun County, I am really excited about what this community is going to offer.
What Is So Unique?
Willowsford is being developed on over 4,000 acres of countryside, much of which will be boardered by stone walls, four-board fencing, rolling pastures, with beautiful views of the natural landscape that Loudoun County has to offer. 2,000 acres of the land will be reserved for conservancy and farming. Willowsford will boast unique ammenities to the area such as a sledding hill, a u-pick-it garden, camping areas, and a dog park. There will also be the traditional amenities including swimming pools, biking trails, and a lake for canoeing.
Willowsford is currently on schedule to be a ten year building project that includes multiple home builders offering single family homes that have floor plans that are specifically unique to the neighborhood. The community will be built in four different villages known as “the grant, the grove, the grange, and the greens.” The lot sizes of Willowsford range from .25 acres to 2 acres which is very generous when compared to neighboring communities that tend to squeeze as many homes as possible on to tiny lots.
The Skinny…
If you have been looking for a community that is truly Loudoun… And by that I mean, rural but commutable, then this is the place for you. Builders in Willowsford will be open for sales as early as October, 2011 so here is your chance. I will have more information for you as it is available so stay tuned…

Is Ashburn, The Broadlands, Or Dulles A City Or Town?
September 6th, 2011 Categories: Ashburn, Dulles Neighborhoods, Local Issues
“Ashburn,” “Potomac Falls,” “The Broadlands,” “Willowsford,” “Brambleton,” “Dulles,” have become synomous with towns or cities in our area. This tends to create confusion among residents and non-residents as the names of areas seem to be created over night.
While I am not a local VA government buff, I have created a small area list to help you understand what type of area they are..
Local Towns
- Herndon, Leesburg, Middleburg, Round Hill, Purcellville,
Census Designated Place
- Ashburn, Chantilly, Sterling, Reston, Great Falls, The Broadlands, Dulles, Potomac Falls, Lansdowne, Willowsford, Brambleton, and the next big community that pops up labeling their address as the community name.
What is a Census Designated Place? Great question. According to (ask.census.gov) a CDP is simply, “a geographic entity that serves as the statistical counterpart of an incorporated place for the purpose of presenting census data for an area with a concentration of population, housing, and commercial structures that is identifiable by name.”
Bunn definition- a place that has enough people living there (there is no technical limit) and is not under the government of an incorporated area like a town or city. Therefore, the area has the right to title their selves for the purpose of Census Bureo data collection.
THEREFORE, until an area like Ashburn is incorporated (which I hope never happens), there will always be communities that seek to label their area as if it were a town.

Why Martin’s Chase Is An Ideal Neighborhood
September 3rd, 2011 Categories: Buyers, Community Of The Week, Martins Chase
There are still a lot of people that haven’t discovered Martin’s Chase. I am of the personal belief that they are missing out! Now, let me be honest from the beginning is disclosing that I live there. Now, while some call may call that a bias, I say it another reason you should envy it. Besides, wouldn’t I know all of it’s flaws by now since I do live here?
Here are three major reasons Martins Chase is ideal…
1. It is secluded from other neighborhoods. Where else in Ashburn are you going to live in a neighborhood with amenities and have the feeling of being in the country? I know the secluded feeling isn’t what every one is looking for, but if it is… Did I mention that I can actually see the stars at night?

2. Cul-de-sacs, Common Area, and Incredible Views! I understand and know Northern VA development planning VERY well. The common development standard has become, “How many homes can we fit on this plot of land?” The builders for Martins Chase have built their homes on spacious lots with many being on cul-de-sacs. Did I mention that the community is built around common area and conservancy lots!
3. You are still close to everything. I did say the community is secluded. However, it is only 5 minutes from the Brambleton Town Center with a grocery store, theatre, and restaurants. It is just minutes to the toll road, route 50, route 7, and other parts of Ashburn.
