My advice is really narrow your location...your basically looking all over fairfax with the spots you listed. Find really an area that provides everything you need and then have your realtor send your zone updated every day. That way when something hits, you will be more prepared.

Chico,

I like your advice about narrowing the location. We need to get out and explore all the areas and really focus on a certain area that meets our needs. We'll be doing that over the next month as we find which neighborhoods we like.

In regards to HOA, every home I've seen has an HOA. Does anyone in Fairfax/Loudon live in a home without and HOA?
