Brian and I checked out the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema located in Ashburn at One Loudoun for the first time.  Great concept for seeing movies - enjoyed the movie and the food and our waiter did a great job.  We can't wait to go back again!  What a wonderful entertainment option for Loudoun County!

Loudoun County Homes - Dulles Metro (Subway) Update - September 2013 Update

Wiehle-Reston East Metro Will Have More Parking Than Original Estimates

The finishing touches are being put on the seven-story underground parking garage at Reston Station at the future Wiehle-Reston East Metro stop. The 2,300-spot parking garage is a public-private partnership between Fairfax County and Comstock Partners.
 

However, when the Silver Line station opens in January, there will be nearly 1,100 additional spaces available, at least for a few years. Wiehle-Reston East, which will be the end of the Phase I line for about five years, is the only one of the initial Silver Line stops that will feature parking.

Boulder Crest Retreat built on strong family values (Bluemont, VA in Loudoun County)

For military families, service life can be difficult.

Loved ones are frequently away from their families for extended periods of time.

For families of wounded warriors, life can be especially difficult with days, weeks, months and sometimes years spent in and out of the hospital.

With the opening of Boulder Crest Retreat Sept. 6 in Bluemont, military families will be able to spend time in a quiet place together without worry.

The product of founder Ken Falke and his wife, Julia, Boulder Crest is on 37 acres of land situated in the wooded hills of Bluemont. It was built strictly for wounded warriors, their families and Gold Star families -- those who have lost a family member in war.

DC Metro Price Increases Continue into August as Demand Remains Strong

Even with double-digit gains in new listings, overall inventory remains low

OVERVIEW

Demand remained strong in the Washington DC Metro Region in August.  The number of sales and pending contracts increased.  Inventories continue to decline, but the pace has slowed to a single digit year-over year decrease.  New listings continue to increase and mitigate the decline of inventories.  Demand for smaller units in the market continues to drive much of the overall sales.  Sales of units smaller than 800 square feet increased by 35.6 percent from last August, which is over double the 13.8 percent increase for all units.  Condo sales drove the majority of the increases in both sales and new contracts.  Units between 800 and 1,000 square feet had a median sales price increase of 21.7 percent, or nearly three times the 7.8 percent increase for all units.  The overall high demand and low supply contributed to median sale price gains within the region and resulted in the highest August-level median sales price in eight years.  The median days-on-market continues to be historically low, and is now at its lowest August-level since 2005.  Rising prices and strong demand may encourage new sellers to enter the market, increasing new listings and helping to meet pent up demand.
