When you first find out that you have an upcoming relocation to Sterling Virginia, one of your first decisions is whether to look at new homes in Sterling Virginia or existing homes in Sterling Virginia. You can also contract to have a home built to your specifications. While it may be tempting to build a new home from scratch, you have to factor in the stress of not having a permanent home during the months of construction. You may want to consider “spec” homes that builders have almost completed. This will give you the freedom to choose colors and styles, but will also enable you to move into your new home shortly after your relocation to Sterling Virginia. I have friends that lived in a 2 room efficiency motel for 5 ½ months (with 2 children and a dog!) while their home was being built. She told me that she would never do that again. She loved having a new home, but has decided that if she ever moves across country again, she will not subject her family to that experience again.
Sterling Park is a portion of Sterling with the ZIP code of 20164. The land where Sterling Park was built was mainly made up of a few very large farms. When construction of Dulles International Airport began in 1959, land prices began to rise. In 1961 Marvin T. Broyhill Sr. saw this as a great investment opportunity and decided to buy the 1, 762 acres that now make up Sterling Park for the price of $2,115,783.86. Construction of the $14,800.00-$22,500.00 homes was completed by 1967. Sterling Park was one of the first planned communities built in Eastern Loudoun County and was a popular place for government workers to settle with their families outside the city. Sterling Park also contains a variety of businesses, churches, parks, a community center, semi-private golf club featuring two pools and tennis courts, and schools. It is the home of the Park View High School Patriots. -- Source: Wikipedia.com AskMe a Question About Sterling, VirginiaTo ask a question or make a comment about Sterling, Virginia Click Here.
