Located within the Dulles Technology Corridor, Ashburn is home to many high-tech businesses . Additionally, construction of the World Trade Center Dulles Airport at One Loudoun is set to begin in the fall of 2007.

Part of western Loudoun County, less than an hour’s drive from Washington D.C., the area offers breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Loudoun Valley. The largest of the four communities is Purcellville with a population of some 2,500 residents. Round Hill is home to 700 residents. The real estate market in the area is diverse. Contemporary housing developments coexist with 18th century mansions and sprawling, scenic horse farms. The market is made up primarily of single-family homes.

Lovettsville, VA

Settled in 1733, by German farm families who migrated from Pennsylvania, Lovettsville is Loudoun's third largest town and its northernmost incorporated one. The town has worked extremely hard to protect its rural character. In 1979, the town opened the Lovettsville Historical Society Museum, which contains some of the towns history.

Hamilton, VA

Located 40 miles north west of Washington D.C. and six miles west of Leesburg is a quaint little town named after its first postmaster. Originally know as Harmony, Hamilton began to flourish in 1868 when the Washington and Old Dominion railroad began running from Alexandria to Hamilton, bringing visitors from Washington and Baltimore looking for relief in the cooler summer air of the Loudoun Valley. In 1926, a fire destroyed much of the town's businesses and the frequent summer visitors declined. Today, Hamilton embodies the term "small town America."

Located approximately 40 miles west-northwest of Washington, D.C., at the northwestern terminus of the Dulles Greenway (a private toll road which connects to the Dulles Toll Road at Washington Dulles International Airport), it is largely a bedroom community for commuters to the national capital. Current growth of the town and its immediate area (Ashburn, Virginia) concentrates along the Dulles Greenway, and along the Leesburg Pike (State Route 7), which roughly parallels the Potomac River between Winchester to the west and Alexandria to the east.

Middleburg, VA

Middleburg is a town in Loudoun County, Virginia, United States. There are approximately 640 people currently residing in the town established in 1787 by Revolutionary War Lieutenant Colonel and Virginia statesman, Levin Powell. He purchased the land for Middleburg at $2.50 an acre from Joseph Chinn, first cousin to George Washington. Previously called "Chinn's Crossroads," Powell chose the name Middleburg because of the town's location midway between Alexandria and Winchester on the Ashby Gap trading route (now Route 50). Since the early 1900s, Middleburg began welcoming visitors that descended on the town for foxhunting and steeplechasing. The village soon earned a reputation as the "Nation's Horse and Hunt Capital," attracting prominent visitors from across the United States.

With more than 4,000 miles of busy roads in the area, many commuters avoid the congestion by using the Washington Metro, which boasts 86 stops along 106 miles of track, and the Virginia Railway Express (VRE).

Real Estate Tips
Financing Your Home >Home Buyers Education

As the number of mortgage lenders increases, competition forces lenders to get more creative in finding ways to lend people money. This often takes the form of giving homebuyers a "break" in the down payment. The downside of this approach is that statistically, the smaller the down payment, the more likely the borrower will default. Lenders have put together an education program to prevent delinquencies, which fills a much-needed gap in the increasingly complex world of home finance.

Home buyer education classes focus on a variety of money management topics, including all the costs connected with obtaining and owning a home. One lender got together with FANNIE MAE (a government-sponsored loan guarantor) to launch a 3 percent down payment loan which requires participation in this education course. Other lenders have shown a decline in the default rate with five percent loans that are associated with similar education courses.
