LIVING TOO LARGE IN EXURBIA

摘要

FOR THOSE WHO MADE THE exodus to the rolling farmland of Loudoun County,Va.,over the past decade,the trade-offs were well understood.Stake a claim to the ex-urban dream in newly sprouted developments with bucolic names like Farmington on the Green and Hirst Farms (going price:us600,000 and up),and you got a brand new house on a quarter acre.Excellent schools,the smalltown charm of antique shops,and historic courthouses were also part of the package.And just watch your home value soar,by an average 23% in the past two years.
