Are you looking for proximity to a particular house of worship?
Whether you are seeking a church, mosque, synagogue or temple---yes, alphabetical order is intentional---Fair Housing Laws pretty clearly state that houses of worship locations are not the purview of real estate professionals. These rules were written in another era when segregation, even by denomination, was more common in America. While it is true that some neighborhoods have a few more folks from this religion or that, I'm not aware of any neighborhoods in Northern Virginia that are exclusively or even mostly a certain religion.
I personally thinks it make sense to investigate the schools in an area to make sure they suit your needs. As realtors we can provide information about schools. By the same token, I think many folks would like to know that there is a nearby house of worship that serves up their preferred flavor of faith-based teachings, but this is outside the realm of the research I can perform for you.
When we speak of religious matters, it must be understood that this information is not intended as an endorsement of
or an attack upon any particular religion. Nor should it be implied from this information that any particular creed or religion is favored by our brokerage. But I do think it's sad that I have to write that, because it should be understood by implication.
