THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO IN THE WASHINGTON AREA…
Sterling, VA is located just outside of Washington, D.C. Within driving distance of Washington D.C., Baltimore, MD, Philadelphia, PA and even New York City, Northern Virginia is rich in culture, history, nature, and diversity.
There is never a shortage of things to do in or around Northern Virginia. The Atlantic Ocean is 3 1/2 hours east
- with Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay even closer - the Blue Ridge Mountains and
the Appalachian Trail are 1 1/2 hours west. There are the Smithsonian museums (most
with free admission) and dozens of National Park Service historic sites, as well
as other noted art galleries, reduced-price Smithsonian lectures, National events
on the Mall, multiple stage theaters - from avant-garde to Shakespeare to musical
theater - and movie theaters, as well as access to the visitors' galleries at Congress
and the Supreme Court.
Shopping ranges from the five major malls in the area - including
Tyson’s Corner and the newest at Dulles Town Center in Sterling - to small specialty
shops, and from upscale shopping in Georgetown and the Fashion Center at Pentagon
City, to deep discounts at Potomac Mills south of the City and Eastern Market in
the heart of Washington, D.C.
STERLING, VIRGINIA…
“LIVE AND WORK WHERE OTHERS PLAY.”
Sterling, Virginia, combines the relatively lower prices of Loudoun County homes,

personnel, private sector and trade association employees; international professionals;
academic researchers; and professors.) Live music venues all over the area, covering
