We moved to Purcellville in the 1980s when the population was about 1400 (and shrinking) but that turned around big time in 1995. It's actually lost most of the small town feel it had. The new affluent suburban influx has pretty much overwhelmed the old town. It's really just a smaller version of Ashburn. The growth has had an upside. We have two grocery stores now so we don't have to worry about driving to Leesburg to get groceries if somebody drives a bucket loader through the front of the only grocery store in town and shuts it down for a couple of weeks. (Feb 26, 1983). You actually missed the best thing about Purcellville if you are raising kids. The Bush Tabernacle Skating Rink. This building was built in 1903 as a Chautauqua Meeting House but was converted to a roller skating rink in the 1920s and has been used as a skating rink ever since. They have a teen night on Friday, host birthday party on the weekend. It's small but big enough for kids. Interesting fact for musicians is that it used to be part of the Northern Shenandoah Valley Rink Circuit for up and coming country acts including Patsy Cline who grew up near Winchester. Of those old wooden roller rinks, the Purcellville rink is the only one remaining.
It an amazing town then been a lot of new stuff within the last just 5months and with the start of the vineyard square you should do some research on that it very intriguing
Purcellville was way nicer 20-25 years ago. I used to commute from Winchester to Alexandria (82 miles one way), it’s not bad. If you do move to Purcellville check out the Purcellville Pub and Purcellville Eats. Homes in Loudoun are ridiculous too, check out Fredrick (not Nova), it’s the valley and 25 mins west of Purcellville... you can get a 2,500-3,000 sqft single family home for the same cost as a townhome in Purcellville.
This helped me realize Purcellville isn't for me and my family, as we are low income and hate to commute to work, mostly for that reason... I'm a bartender and my husband is a tech guru. We'd never be able to afford to own a home there. Looks like there's not a lot of rental options too... So not for us. Thank you for helping me make that decision!
Trump should come to power and implement the efficiency task force which will cut 2 trillion in waste caused by costly contractors in Northern Virginia. Then the NoVa Bubble will pop

Thanks a lot for sharing. I love hearing from locals who have lived in the area for some time.

Thanks for the info. May be time to make an updated video on Purcellville. Thanks for watching!

Purcellville is beautiful but those house prices are unbelievable. It's not like it's NY or LA.
Thanks - very helpful
Your welcome. Let me know if I can help in any other way
Purcellville is stunning

i love grutos
Good job at trying to justifying the home prices but ain't no justifying those high prices for a town under 10000 population
These shameless bastards have taken this bubble to the next level.
Single family homes in Ashburn and Brambleton should not cost more than 850K.
Trump should come to power and implement the efficiency task force which will cut 2 trillion in waste caused by costly contractors in Northern Virginia.
