Aldie, VA, is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Washington, DC metro area and the 2nd fastest growing zip code in Virginia. From 2000 to 2014, a 569% increase in population has since led to many upscale communities being built all across the 20105. Being such a highly desirable place to live, it is no surprise that real estate in the area has boomed over the last decade, and more specifically, in the last couple of years.

Concentration of Distressed Properties
