Route 7 (Leesburg Pike) and the Dulles Greenway (VA-267) run through this corridor, with Loudoun County Parkway and Waxpool Road doing the local work.

Ashburn is an unincorporated community in eastern Loudoun County, about 46,349 residents at the last Census, wrapped around Route 7 and the Dulles Greenway.

Water and utility notes in Sterling

A Sterling address is on Loudoun Water, the county utility, which publishes an annual drinking water quality report and answers on (571) 291-7880 (https://www.loudounwater.org/). Sterling is a separate community from Ashburn, but the utility is the same county system. Confirm the utility only for an address near the county line.

What to check in this town

✓

Ask what languages the front desk handles if that matters to your family, and whether written materials come in your language.

✓

Ask whether the practice bills Cardinal Care Smiles if the patient is under 21, because that answer changes what the case costs you.

✓

Compare itemized quotes on the same scope: records, the appliance, adjustment visits and the retainer.

Nothing is charged for the introduction and no practice is ranked by what it pays us.
