Hello,
My family and I relocating from south FL. We moved here 12yrs ago from NJ and are moving to VA in a week. At the moment we are both virtual employees in the tech industry. We hear there are a ton of tech jobs in the area (preference would be to not work in DC).
We recently visited Ashburn in search of a rental (~2200 for 3bd/2ba) looking for great schools and with a developed community. We unfortunately didn't find a rental in time and did not make the time to research other cities, therefore we are still searching.
Questions:
What cities compare to Ashburn in regards to schools (middle school)?
What cities offer soccer programs for kids? I know in Ashburn there is Loudoun soccer, how does it compare to Reston Soccer or other cities recommended?
We're looking for a city that offers great schools, stores very nearby, great soccer programs, not too far from cities where tech opportunities would be available with minimal drive (should the need arise to find new employment) and not too far from DC to enjoy all its amenities on weekends or evenings.



Thanks in advance!

Reston is good option - as it gets you a little closer to DC. All of Northern Virginia have soccer programs - soccer is very big here. I just did a search on MRIS homes and found several properties that meet your criteria.

I just did another search and found this wonderful property just a little above your range.

Thanks for the reply. Wow that 2nd one would be a dream come true for my son - an avid fisher! Unfortunately the middle and high school have poor school ratings according to greatschools.

I live very near the middle school/high school and have many neighbors who are very pleased with the schools. Please do more research on the schools before you dismiss this area.

Here is a list of where the South Lakes High School seniors are going to college next year.

Here is a list of SAT scores that crosses all the local counties. South Lakes High School has a higher average SAT score then any Loudoun County High School.
