This is highly amusing. Like there is some huge difference between Sleepy Hollow and Merrifield.

I'm sure Richardson is a very pleasant community. But the daily commute into and out of downtown Washington DC would be even more hellish than what most of us put up with.

When people talk about how there's no character in NoVa suburbs and how bland, uninspired, etc they are, I find it to be a bit dramatic but I do have to say Gainesville fits the bill.




True. And the thing is it's in such a good location, it's pretty central to everything in NoVa especially for people who are into having lots of land, etc. Fairfax Station is a good choice.
Have you been to Naperville?
