I fell in love with Leesburg when I saw it first in 1986, coming from NY. I now live in a nearby area. I deliberately drive through town rather than the by pass just because it’s so charming. But if you are thinking of moving to Loudoun county, watch out for the rampant spread of data centers. My advice would be to Google the situation … and consider living in a well established community where there are no ‘open spaces’ left.
Good point Jean. The data centers are most prevalent in Ashburn, but Leesburg does have a couple. I've lived in Leesburg since 1998 and have enjoyed raising my family here.
I grew up 30 minutes from Leesburg in Philomont, Va...I have sang and played guitar in every bar in Leesburg, but the wineries and breweries are great to play....but I can't afford to live in Leesburg much longer...I paid less rent when playing in Key West...Leesburg is beautiful..but most people I knew as a child have been pushed out financially
Hi Suzanne, that's so great that you've been able to play at the wineries and bars here. I am sure I've probably seen you! Unfortunately, you are right, values have risen, making it more costly to live here. It's a blessing and a curse for living in this cute little town. Thanks for your comment!
