Town Spotlight: Leesburg, VA
Not far from our nation's capital and mere minutes from the Washington Dulles International Airport, this beautiful community is, surprisingly, a genuine small town, with all the benefits of a big city - if you choose to use them. Here, you can literally go to the grocery store or local coffee shop (I highly recommend Shoe's Cup and Cork Club) and run into your neighbors.
Time seems to move slower here, and I mean that in the best way possible. Walking the beautifully crafted brick sidewalks lined with historic architecture in Downtown Leesburg takes you back to a simpler time with every step. Unique shops like Creme de la Creme and mom and pop businesses are something you come to expect rather than an unusual occurrence.
If you love dining out, you are sure to love trying every restaurant in Leesburg. Its easy for any resident to turn into a food connoseur. In Leesburg, it's not just about the food, it's about the experience. From the most exquisite food at 5 star rated restaurants to well-priced food with incredibly fresh ingredients that keep the locals coming back.
The community looks forward to big events that bring the entire town together. There are multiple events each season, even in the Winter when cabin fever is at its worst, events like The Christmas Parade or First Night gives everybody an excuse to leave the house. Of course it's the spring events like Flower and Garden Festival that have put Leesburg on the map. Lush landscapes, gorgeous gardens, fresh herbs, street vendors, and the exciting promise of spring - there's nothing else like it.
On top of it all, the education can't be beat. Their schools are ranked among the finest schools in the nation. In fact, all of Loudoun County's high schools are among the best 1,000 high schools in America according to Newsweek's Challenge Index.
It is difficult to sum such a rich community in only a few paragraphs. In fact, there might have to be a Town Spotlight: Part 2 on Leesburg. But for now, it is enough to say that Leesburg is one town that you can't forget about once you visit. Its old fashioned feel, unique amenities, beautiful setting, and tight-knit community are the things that keep visitors coming back, and often times, never leaving.
