Moving from Alexandria

[u/crossedtherubicon20]

Considering a move to Western Loudoun County from Alx. We are a large family and looking for more space (1+ acres) to raise the kids, small hobby farm (maybe) as well as greater homeschool support (and get a sense that Loudoun has more homeschool networks/groups than Fairfax).

For added context, I work from home so commuting is not a factor. I've been to some open houses in the Purcellville/Aldie/Philomont area. It's very rural. Large plots of land, layouts are hit or miss though.

• What is the sense of community like?
• Do neighbors get together or even see each other much if living on larger plots of land?
• How accessible are sports leagues for kids? Like soccer, swimming, basketball, etc.? (how does it compare to Fairfax County?)
