I need to say nothing more…Ashburn & Brambleton lack many major facilities, including a decent sports complex. Yes, Ashburn village has one…that is meant for their community. More over, Southern part is still neglected. Please throw your full support

Interesting Loudoun School System Comparison
Posted in Loudoun County, ashburn, brambleton, schools on January 6, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Interesting article on how Loudoun is (kind of) trailing behind other counties; Here is an article from Sun Gazette. Some of those assertions (aka, facts) are troubling a bit. I know of a few folks who are doing very well with home schooling, yet they just pay as much for county taxes. They are not [...]
Brambleton re-zoning from Industrial to Active living?
Posted in ashburn, brambleton, golf course on September 12, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Ever wondered why so many areas are zoned for ‘Industrial’ development? If you look around lots of parcels are set aside and it makes no sense to have these many. They are meant for neither residential nor commercial use. Brambleton looks like trying to reverse that trend. This makes sense as Brambleton will (eventually) have [...]

Yet another Elementary School in Brambleton
Posted in 20148, Loudoun County, ashburn, brambleton, elementary school on August 9, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
In less than a year, Brambleton is expected to see yet another brand new elementary school. Located at Creighton’s corner (some where close to Creighton Road ?), this will be very convenient to folks living in the vicinity. Not that many details available, however this link talks more about this project. Its street address and [...]
Stone Hill Middle School is right next to Loudoun Valley Estates
Posted in 20148, Aldie, Loudoun County, ashburn, brambleton, middle school on August 1, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Now I am a bit confused about exact location of this building. This is about the same place where Rosa Lee Carter elementary school is coming up! They also maintain their own school district coverage. Interestingly, Washington Post says there is one more middle school planned for Aldie, expected to be open in a couple [...]
Elementary school (Rosa Lee Carter) almost ready
Posted in Loudoun County, Loudoun County Parkway, Loudoun Valley Estates, ashburn, brambleton, elementary school on July 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Like all major projects, this school delivery is delayed too. I am sure weather played no role in its delay (rain is not a contributing factor for sure). Road connecting new section of Loudoun County Parkway with Ryan Road is not patched up yet. Look at earlier posting for exact location of this school. Here [...]
Ashburn, Data Center Hubs
Posted in 20148, ashburn, brambleton, commercial, data center on July 21, 2007 | 1 Comment »
I think, Ashburn (and surrounding areas) now has one of the major data centers in the united states. Equinix and Digital Realty Trust (previously known as Loudoun Exchange) are major players. Not sure if Myriad Network is known be significant?? (Comment from a blog visitor: “Myriad is *not* a major player in anything. No idea [...]
Buy in Brambleton or wait?!!

[First of all, I am not a realtor (though I have some association with real estate), hopefully I may not influenced by any factors].
Lots of times, people wonder if it is a good idea to buy a house at any time. Obviously, this depends very much on you, not so much on market conditions.
Take a [...]

This is developed over six months, with active support from journalists. It includes traffic info (cool cameras on Route 28, etc). Look at additional blog sites mentioned [...]

Commercial Developments

Did you ever hear a real estate agent boasting about new commercial cool developments in your vicinity?!! I was never sure how accurate those claims are. Even if developer wanted something right close to your home, lots of factors can come in their way. Look at Brambleton Village Center. It is delayed by many months, [...]

Data Center next to train track & train station, how does that work???
Posted in Loudoun County, ashburn on April 3, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
I am a little amazed how a data center next to 267 (almost behind Home Depot, Ashburn) could operate once train track goes close to it. I get a feeling that it is more logical and viable for them to turn that “prime” real estate into a shopping center!!
In case you are still wondering what [...]
