I guess they think suburban neighborhoods qualify as “small towns”. As for the home prices they Are “Money Magazine” after all.

Mom – that’s a great story – thanks for sharing!
E M,
You could always move to Oakton (#36) and pay over $600,000 for a small townhouse. That $486,018 property in Leesburg will cost you about $850,000 in most parts of Fairfax County.
by someone’s measure, Leesburg is a small town. Kenbridge (formerly Tinkling), in Lunenburg Co. (Mother of Counties) has 1,200 persons. Dundas has even fewer.
Our home prices are substantially less.
