2019 Best Places to Live in Loudoun CountyAbout this List

Stone Ridge

• Suburb in Virginia
• 13 reviews

Current Resident: Loudoun County is rapidly growing and is easily the nation's highest income county. I've lived here for 13 years now and it's changed so much during that time and only continues to grow. It's clean, quiet, and safe--the perfect place to raise a family. Schools are being built left and right to account for the growing population, and although I moved here during my teenage years, I can easily see myself starting a family here and staying here. I see no reason to relocate and I'm extremely happy here.

Cascades

• Suburb in Virginia

Current Resident: A beautiful, safe place to live! Friendly neighbors!

The perfect example of this was two winters ago when we had a big snow storm and we were trapped in. The whole community was outside shoveling the roads, sharing stories, eating food, and having a great time together.

Broadlands

• Suburb in Virginia
• 17 reviews

Current Resident: I like how a lot of people know each other, there is definitely a sense of community here. The change I'd like to see is more people outside, whether that be going for a walk, jogging, or even just taking their kids outside. I think it's very important for people to be exposed to fresh air every day and by building more parks and leaving room for wide open spaces instead of buildings, more people would be more inclined to spend time in the outdoors.

South Riding

• Suburb in Virginia
• 51 reviews

Current Resident: South RIding is a suburb in Northern Virginia, Loudoun County that is rapidly growing in many ways. Population is steadily increasing and so there is a lot of diversity and a big demand for housing. This also creates more jobs as the influx of population rises. Since it is very family friendly and for more established families, it is not for night-goers and all night party people. However, what it lacks in night life it makes up in public schools and safety. As a part of the richest county in the United States, its schools have loads of resources that are provided to students and teachers free of cost.

Leesburg

• Suburb in Virginia
• 134 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived in Leesburg, Virginia my entire life. In all my 18 years of life, I have genuinely enjoyed my experience. This town is very safe, a great place to raise children if you're interested in starting a family here, and is one of the cleanest parts of Virginia. The entertainment is only growing, shopping is great as we have an Outlet Mall and even a hospital very close by. The schools are also very well established, and the entire state of Virginia has amazing colleges to choose from. If you're looking to have some fun, there are two town centers right here in Leesburg and Washington D.C. is also really close! The only negative about Leesburg would be that it is a little on the pricey side since Loudoun County is the richest county in Virginia the houses may be expensive but it is definitely worth the cost!

Middleburg

• Town in Virginia
• 5 reviews

Current Resident: I was born and raised in Middleburg. It's a special little town with so much history and charm and there is no other place quite like it. There is one grocery store, one traffic light, and one gas station. However, real estate and rent prices here are marked up 3-4 times from most other small rural towns and that can be difficult for people looking to move here. I love it, but beware of expensive real estate. The commercial rents in town are usually at least $4-5K/month, sometimes even $6-7K/month. SERIOUSLY??? You won't find this in most other small towns, just saying. Also, some of the people in the surrounding area feel that living here makes them better than everyone else. and are kind of rude and stuck up. All in all, it's a great little town but real estate prices are very high and often you'll find stuck up attitudes.

Love that we are surrounded by farms, wineries and bike paths and you have the farmers markets on the weekends. Great place to grow up

Round Hill

• Town in Virginia
• 10 reviews

Former Resident: Round Hill is a beautiful, picturesque village in northern Virginia. It fosters many of my favorite memories, such as the various parades and fairs that happen throughout the year, the welcoming families and amazing opportunities. The town is beautiful; however, as a teenager, you experience an increasing level of competition throughout high school. The local schools are extremely well-staffed and rather elite for public schools. This also creates a very competitive atmosphere in academics, athletics, and other extracurriculars. Despite these challenges, there are so many opportunities for people of all ages around here.
