]]> Comment on Interesting Loudoun School System Comparison by Poster http://brambleton.wordpress.com/2008/01/06/interesting-loudoun-school-system-comparison/#comment-210 Poster Thu, 03 Apr 2008 20:03:06 +0000 http://brambleton.wordpress.com/2008/01/06/interesting-loudoun-school-system-comparison/#comment-210 If the only people that paid taxes to support schools were those that had childern enrolled, it would be so expensive, that most people could not afford to send their childern to school (as is the case in much of the world where this is true). Not everyone has the luxury of staying at home and schooling their kids. Some people don't have childern. But we all pay in, because it benefits us all that all childern get an affordable education. It's something you teach your childern- how to share and contribute to the greater good.

As the host of a residential shopping plaza, Brambleton residents are utilizing so many of the Brambleton Town center features! Though we are all a bit frustrated with delays building the center and all the new construction along Ryan Road and Loudoun County Parkway is slowing us down, we have access to some pretty wonderful stuff already placed and open. *Harris Teeter (24 hour, Pharmacy, Floral Department, Bakery, Seafood and Meat, Organic Produce, Sushi Bar, and $0.99 SUBS are the BOMB) *Caribou Coffee (drive through option, free wireless Internet access, and with some of the best caffeine fixes around) *Coldstone Creamery (home made ice cream with awesome combinations of mix ins available, staff entertainers, and patio seating) *My Thai (the most delicious Thai food in Loudoun county, atmosphere or a Washingtonian elite Night spot, best Mojitos in Loudoun) *Subway (which is everywhere but they sure are handy when you want and easy place to grab a six foot sub for a party crowd) *California Tortilla (hundred of hot sauce flavor combinations, fresh fast food, and big tables for large groups or families with children) *Nick's Corner Grill (with an upscale gourmet atmosphere and quiet HUGE screen televisions it's the perfect wife-meets-football place in town, late nights, full bar) *GO BANANAS Toy Store (absolutely one of the most thrilling educational and retro toy stores, clever "kids pick" toy storage for birthday and holiday selections--keeping everything a surprise because you come back without the children) *Edible Arrangements (with stylized fresh fruit arrangements that look like floral bouquets, the perfect gifts to send in Brambleton for fun or as treats all over the nation) *UPS Store (easy package drop off) *Dry Cleaners *Hair Cuttery (ask for Wendy or Hannah and bring pictures, great men’s barber shop cuts, excellent to keep our growing kids looking well coiffed during all the seasons) *Nail Salon (Pedicures and Manicures, Massage Chairs—but make an appointment if you want to get in) *Fox Cinemas (sixteen screen stadium seating with rocking recliner seats in an Art Nouveau setting, hot pizza pretzels sound gross but taste amazing for a different movie tradition treat, frozen cokes for the ideal brain freeze) *Chevy Chase Bank (yes--they DO have a drive up ATM) *Leesburg Canine Country Club (a dog friendly Adult Recreation 26 acre area right down the rod from us—take Ryan to a right on Evergreen Mills and it is just a hop skip and jump down on the left Combine these destinations already open with the coming soon attractions and the Brambleton planners really do seem to be making Brambleton a very easy place to live. [Barnes and Nobel, a pain your own pottery location, a chocolate shop, a paper goods store for stationary and whatnots, a Birkenstock shop for those comfortable casual wearing, a specialty closet shop that will help all residents get their storage life happily in order are all coming attractions.] I will admit to have the Art and Frame store connection be one of our first opened features was a bit off in their use planning, but the owners are such nice and wonderful people that I believe in the long run, once all is said and done, we will have supported their business and the Brambleton Town center will be happy to have them. Local amenities are everything. If you can’t find whatever comfort food, solution product, or specialty item you need, we are so close to the areas other competing plazas (South Riding, Shellhorn Road, Ashburn Village Plaza, Ashburn Commons, the Dulles Town Center, Broadlands, South Walk, the newly building Loudoun Valley Estates, Waxpool Road, Farmwell Road, and the Auto Park by the giant Wegmans and Target Plaza off Pacific Boulevard and the 28 Waxpool fly over exit) that you can BE to what or where you need in under 15 minutes. [Home Depot, Home Goods, Bloom, Giant, Safeway, CVS, Walgreens, 100 more restaurant choices from fast food to four stars, hotel suites, local wineries or bed and breakfasts, Dulles International Airport, the Dulles Greenway (267 Toll Road), whatever.] Patience is a virtue, and regardless of delays or any perceived aesthetic discontinuity right now while we are under construction Brambleton has a huge set out here of its "Brambletonian Lifestyle" fans. Visit www.brambleton.com for more information or stop by the Visitors Center. One last perk and thumbs up for our specific local area? Brambleton is a neighborhood full of friendly professional and personal friends.

I concluded, either commercial market is really hot OR small investors do not interest them. This is not to discourage you, just to indicate that it could take you a while before you break-in and to get you prepared. In one or two instances, I noticed they are settled (sold) long time back, though a sign still stays at that property! One more, Ashburn and Brambleton may be considered as 'immature' in commercial terms (check comparison of SFT rates with Fairfax county & Ashburn areas, given in one of the pages at this blog site), developers may like to lease properties than to sell them. They may sell it when this area is almost totally saturated, commercially. Just a couple of sites you could visit: 1) loopnet.com 2) costar.com, subscription based. I think this is quite popular. 3) Lots of real estate agencies also deal with commercial properties. ERA and NAI KLNB also have extensive listing. I am sure there are lots of internet based sources which can give you lot more insight. I am not familiar with them.
