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, mulit-million dallar 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 accomodate 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 managable and affordable, but extremely enjoyable.
