Top 5 reasons why Ashburn real estate is on the rise

Welcome to the technology sector of Northern Virginia – Ashburn is known as the technology capitol of the East Coast. Many tech firms and tech contractors that do business with the US government and with federal justice and defense agencies operate in and around Ashburn, as its central location is great, as is its access to the defense and federal districts of the government.

Almost 40% job growth in the coming years, largely white collar jobs – As reported in a business profile by Sperling’s, there is expected to be a massive jobs boom in Ashburn with near 40% job growth expected in the next two years. This, of course, is due to the thriving technology sector that the area is known for, which has already been outlined. Needless to say, these are tech sector jobs in firms that largely do business with the government, so they are mostly high paying jobs.

Suburban peace in the Greater DC Corridor – Yes Ashburn is located in the hopping technology capitol of the East Coast, and yes it is only a short drive from downtown DC, the Capitol of the United States and the Free World, but Ashburn is really just a quiet little, well-manicured, peaceful suburban community. The crime rate is miniscule, the schools are among the best in the country, as ranked among public schools, and the property value is on a rise. This attractive community is like any other great American Suburb, the heart of the American dream, except it is located in the middle of the epicenter of the heart of the US government!

Average home value about $500,000 – You read that correctly. The homes are breathtaking, the amenities are great, and the area is extremely pleasant and coveted. The neighborhoods are quiet, well-kept and safe. The community has great, easy access to Washington DC and the DC Corridor, and even easy access to Mass Transit options. Yet the average home value is still just under $500,000. Now you can see why the property value is on the rise, and likely has a long way to climb yet.

Great commuting options to and from Washington DC – Even though Washington DC is close enough that it could be walked to, though it would be a long walk, you would never have to walk to DC from Ashburn. That is because there are plenty of excellent roadways and highways that lead to DC, plus there are many Mass Transit options to get to DC for those who don’t drive, or simply don’t want to.
