Countryside, VA

Countryside is a census-designated place in Loudoun County, northern Virginia. It began as a planned subdivision in the 1970s, when roughly 1,000 acres of farmland were prepared for suburban development. That origin still describes the place well: residential streets, trails, schools, parks, and commuter access rather than an old downtown. Countryside sits within the fast-growing Dulles corridor, close to Sterling, Ashburn, and regional job centers. It feels orderly, leafy, and distinctly built for suburban family life.
