Understand
In many ways Ashburn is the poster child for the so called "McMansionization of America". The homes in Ashburn are nearly all new, large, uniform in character, and have little or any recognizable architectural style. Brambleton, a planned urban development in Ashburn, is one of the fastest selling developments in the country.
