Welcome to Northern Virginia & Metropolitan D.C.!
With an unparalleled quality of life - both personal and organizational
- the Metropolitan Area provides a unique blend of business, government, international commerce, education and culture that
have attracted the best and the brightest. The District of Columbia, together with Suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia
make up the national capital region. As you will discover, the area is what many people consider to be the ideal living and
working environment. A vibrant international community, fast-paced and fast growing, complemented by gracious hospitality
and colonial charm.
The Northern Virginia area is comprised of numerous counties forming a
colorful tapestry of distinct communities, each rich in history, the arts, recreation and educational opportunities. New high
tech industrial parks, modern office complexes, multi-million dollar malls and residential developments are the result of
a strong economic base, a growing corporate presence, and the relative availability of raw land. The state has an abundance
of natural beauty, with the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, thousands of acres of preserved parkland...form rolling hills and
picturesque farms in the country, to modern urban centers, Northern Virginia has it all with the potential to accommodate
virtually any lifestyle.
The area is the perfect place to call home. Welcoming neighborhoods
are nestled among gently rolling hill or along tree-lined urban streets and offer home choices from well-appointed subdivisions
to luxury highrises and modern condominiums creating an atmosphere where gracious living is not only manageable and affordable,
but extremely enjoyable.
Fairfax County
Fairfax County is the most populated jurisdiction in Virginia, rich in colonial
history, yet firmly focused towards the 21st century. Well known for its historical sites, Fairfax County now offers everything
form urban living, with every possible amenity, to gently rolling hills with rural towns dotting the countryside. The enormous
influx of technology has resulted in considerable commercial construction and a vibrant economy. Thousands of companies have
relocated to the area including a growing number of corporate headquarters seeking both national visibility and a superior
quality of life. Telecommunications, computer engineering, research and development companies, and corporate headquarters
predominate the area along Dulles Airport corridor now known as"Silicon Valley East."
Loudoun County
Nestled in the foothills of the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains in the western quadrant
of Metropolitan Washington, D.C., historic Loudoun County is one of the fastest growing business centers in one of the nation's
largest markets. Loudoun, however, is still primarily a rural county with more than 50% of its land in horse or dairy farms
or other agriculturally related use.
With growth spurred by the traffic of Dulles International
Airport, the history and tradition of Loudoun County met the progress and high-teh of its future. The balance achieved has
created a quality of life treasured by the residents - a comfortable community of exciting business and living opportunities
amid a setting of historical and natural beauty.

of Washington, D.C. The county lies directly in the path of current extensive urban development occurring down the East Coast
of the United States. Prince William County presents a diverse geographic picture - from the Appalachian foothills to the
Potomac River shores. In between are thriving residential communities, commercial enterprises, and quiet rural areas. County
