    A very safe place to live. It is a very clean place with good neighbors. It has a very good community services, public school, and real state market. You also have a very quick access to grocery shopping, restaurants, and Dulles town center mall.

    It's boring, the people are really mean and tend to be snarky. Well some of them, not all of them.
    I love it here, most people are vey friendly
