Default First Time Homeowner Woot!

*A couple of months late but better late than never*

My wife and I recently purchased a townhouse in Aldie VA (I know half of you are like "where in the boonies is that?". It's a couple of miles after South Riding VA in Loudoun County).

We love the place and the 8k first time homebuyers tax credit that came with it

It's an end unit with a view of a little creek in a nice neighborhood (next door neighbors have an A5 vert and Porche Carrera) and most importantly, it has a garage for the Z. Here are some pics of the place:

My wifes RSX and my Z (is thankful she did not get the type S or I'd have the slower car in the relationship)

She's a teacher. She gets off around 3 and has dinner ready for me when I get home (not talking about hot dogs or microwave stuff either).

Unfortunately no. It belongs to the community but hey I don't have to mow or water any plants.

Congrats on the new home! I like the unit you chose, and you at least get a rustic view haha My gf and I just moved into our place in Centreville, though we looked out in S. Riding as well.

And I can attest: nothing beats having a garage for the car.
