If we ever move our retail business to the area, we would go on the WW side, probably in the 301 corridor.
Because the property can be owned and because there is no overrage (percentage of your gross) that TV gets from the 'on campus' sites, it makes sense for the business people, and for those of us that would pass some of the savings to the customers, it makes sense for shoppers too.
We did purchase a parcel and home in WW and might very well live there when we make the longer-term move, keeping our places in TV too for the 'belonging' and amenities.
These areas have character.
We took a slow guided bike tour last Saturday night sponsored by a Leesburg shop that took us by some wonderful decorations on homes and Venetian Gardens. The guides included the Police and fire personnel and some great local folk full of knowledge.
While the historic district of Leesburg is trying to actively revamp the downtown, we also appreciate the character of neighborhoods in the not-so-upscale areas.
