Sure, some areas are gorgeous, but most of it is just a Fairfax Co. wannabe, and I wouldn't want to recreate Fairfax Co. anywhere either.

LOLZ. It's not the first time here...just on my street. Some of the other streets and the smaller houses had foreclosures. The reason we're out here is because we bought in 2004 at the height of the market. Didn't want to pay $50K more in bids for some split level ****hole in Burke we'd have to renovate We bought from the builder...no negotiation....and within our means....wish others did. Maybe the new neighbors will be cool. Most of PWC is a toilet...Man*******, Hoodbridge, etc. This is the best it gets aside from Virginia Oaks off 29 and the traffic there is as bad as Fairfax.

I was talking to a guy at Morton's on Saturday...he lives on some 60 acres in BFE south of Fredericksburg. He was telling me he can shoot his guns off the back porch. You didn't have to leave!
