We truly want to strengthen the community ties that bind us by providing a variety of useful, locally relevant information. In every issue, we plan to include articles written by your neighbors. Do you have a subject you’re passionate about? Write about it and send it to us for consideration! Additionally, we will shine a special spotlight on at least one local family each month-who they are, the interesting things they do, what makes them tick, and why they love Chantilly.
This month, the spotlight shines on a pair of creative entrepreneurs whose cafe has become a neighborhood hub. The busy lifestyle of Jacob and Christine,, owners of Cafe de Chantilly, points to the positive energy that makes Chantilly such a vibrant place to live, work, shop and go to school. Check out their story to get to know them as you neighbors!
Chantilly has always been that place—that community in Northern Virginia that offers
the charms of everything one wants from a place they call home. It enjoys a fresh
entrepreneurial movement to rival some of the most affluent cities across the nation
and a beautiful diversity to make anyone from anywhere feel right at home. We wish
to capture these essences in Chantilly Living! While this newness and diversity make
Chantilly unique, it in no way feels transient. Chantilly has managed to maintain its
strong culture and splendor through it all.
Chantilly Living is all about people—including you, me and the next door neighbor. So
whether you’re a new arrival or a lifelong resident, thank you for checking out this first
edition. We hope you’ll add our magazine to the long list of reasons why you’re happy to
call Chantilly home!
