Community Of The Week: BIG BRAMBLETON
March 11th, 2008 categories: Brambleton, Community Of The Week, New Construction
Every Tuesday I discuss new communities.
Today, lets discuss one of the best neighborhoods in Ashburn: BRAMBLETON. If you are moving or relocating to the area, Brambleton is worthy of your attention. No matter how often I go through it, which is a lot, I am amazed by the continual work and upgrades going on.
Past And Present
The community will be build across 2,000 acres of land and when finished should have 6,200 housing units. The brain behind the project was Soave Enterprises. In April 2007 at the Northern VA Building Industry Event, Brambleton was named the “Community Of The Year.” Brambleton was also the first community in the states to have Verizon FIOS at homes within the community. Even better, it is apart of the low HOA fee, which also includes 4 pools, tot-lots, walking paths, parks, ponds, tennis and basketball courts,and more. Oh, by the way, Brambleton golf course is across the street.
Currently there are 6 award-winning builders within the community.
- Miller and Smith (A Local Builder)
- Centex
- Gulick Group
- Beazer
- Stanley Martin
- Winchester Homes
These builders have everything from luxury condos, town homes, attached singles, single family homes, and luxury estate singles. There is a re-sale market also available in Brambleton with some great homes. Though Loudoun County has struggled the last couple of years in sales, Brambleton at times has actually seen an increase in the amount of sales within the community.
Whats So Great?
When speaking with Brambleton residents they say that, ”the beauty of the town is that everything you need is right here”. Brambleton is close to everything. It is very close to the Toll Road, Loudoun County Parkway, Belmont Ridge Road, Evergreen Mills Road, Route 50, 7, 28, and possibly the future stop of the Dulles Metro!
Do you have kids? Don’t worry, some of Loudoun’s best schools are in walking distance!
What residents and non-residence love the most about Brambleton has to be “Brambleton Town Center.” It is an amenity in and of itself. This is not your average grocery store with a few shops. This town center has tons of shopping and it is still growing. A few stores to mention:
- Caribou Coffee, California Tortilla, Nicks Corner Grill, Cold Stone Creamery, Froots
- Barnes and Nobles (coming), Go Bananas, The Papery (coming)
- The Next Step, Annalee’s Formals
- Chevy Chase Bank, Harris Teeter, UPS, A&A Music
- MANY MORE
If you are a guy that can’t handle all the shopping like myself, you can knock out a few hours at the new stadium seating 16 screen Fox Cinemas! Be careful or you may find yourself napping on the reclining leather seats instead. To be honest, I can’t imagine driving to Sterling for another movie any longer after watching one at Fox.

Community Of The Week: Winsbury Of Arcola
March 4th, 2008 categories: Community Of The Week, New Construction
Tuesdays are for new construction.
Therefore, I am going to let you in one of the newest projects in the Dulles area. Richmond American who has built all over Virginia including communities like Amberliegh, Ashbrook Village, and Vantage Point in Ashburn has broken ground and is now selling in Arcola, VA. The zip code will show up as Sterling but will be within a couple of minutes from Loudoun Valley Estates and Villages.
The community is called Winsbury. It is nestled perfectly near the corner of Gum Springs Rd. and Evergreen Mills Rd. across from Pangle’s Store. This area still holds the beauty of Old Loudoun with elements of country living with old barns, large tree’s, a country store, and mom & pop shops.
Don’t worry, you will have an easy commute being only minutes from Old Ox Road, Route 50, 28, Loudoun County Parkway, and the Dulles Toll Road. There is currently a lot of road construction in the area that will soon make it very easy to commute quickly between North East Loudoun (Ashburn) and South East Loudoun (South Riding).
Wisbury by Richmond America will host their 50 homes on lots ranging from .25 to .33 acres. They will be building a distinct collection of their Estate and Executive Series homes, i.e… the Princeton II, Amherst, Providence I & II, Vanderbilt I & II, Middleburg, Anderson, and Michaux models.
From my communication with the sales manager, Jim Gallagher, they are currently offering pre-construction pricing starting in the 500’s that will change as the community develops more.
The community will not have a pool or community center for the purpose of keeping the HOA cost at a low $50.
If you would like to view the community, contact me.
If you are looking to purchase a new home in Ashburn, South Riding, Loudoun Valley Estates, Loudoun Valley Villages, Brambleton, Arcola, Sterling, Leesburg, or Landsdowne contact me at any time to represent you as a buyer.

Community Of The Week: Waterford Ridge
February 26th, 2008 categories: Community Of The Week, New Construction
It has to be one of my favorite parts of selling real estate. So, I have decided that Tuesdays are now committed to highlighting great communities.
This week, I want to point out one of the most beautiful single family communities I have seen in a while. It is called “Waterford Ridge.” Toll Brothers, who built Belmont Country Club, is the exclusive builder.
Waterford Ridge is right off of the beaten path of 15 North close to Lucketts. To put that in to perspective, it is around 12 minutes from the Leesburg Outlets. This community offers some of the most beautiful landscape in the area.
Each home resides on lots ranging from 3-6 acres of rolling hills and trees. This location is perfect for those who desire privacy along with community, and still want to be in close range of the amenities that Northern VA provides.
Toll Brothers says, “In Waterford Ridge, you will enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of country living with superior schools, excellent shopping, and a wide choice of cultural events close to home.”
A few details about the homes:
- Toll Brothers is building their Estate and Signature Estate Series there.
- 3 to 5 car garages
- Prices are ranging from the high 700’s to the 900’s.
- Most homes with Walk-Out Basements
- Some homes have lot premiums
- There are 10 models to choose from
- Toll Brothers is currently offering unbelievable incentives such as: Conservatory bump-outs on 3 levels, finished basement with media room, rec room, and bathroom.
- The Signature Series offers the option of 10′ ceilings on the main level.
(These incentives may change at any time at the builders discretion along with the prices. Check with them for the latest information. You can contact Andrew Cope at 540-882-9600. Tell him I sent you)
Closest Locations: Leesburg- 10 Minutes. Dulles- 20 Minutes. Tysons Corner- 45 Minutes
If you are interested in viewing or purchasing a home in Waterford Ridge I would be happy to assist you. I do not work for Toll Brothers and represent only my buyers best interests at NO CHARGE TO THEM. I would be happy to assist you in the purchase of any home in the area. Contact Me HERE.

Ashburn’s New Retirement Community
February 19th, 2008 categories: Adult Living, Community Of The Week, New Construction
In the past few years we have seen the growth of Ashburn’s Active Adult Community. I guess its time to consider moving the family closer which is a good sign that many people are starting to see this area as home.
Erickson Retirement Communities which has developments in locations such as Springfield, VA and Silver Spring, MD have seen the early opportunity to take advantage the growth of Loudoun County. Erickson is opening up a huge 132 acre Retirement Community in Ashburn off of Loudoun County Parkway across from the new water treatment plant called Ashby Ponds.
This is expected to be everything you would need in one place. They are planning such amenities such as an aquatics center, bank, game room, cafe, hair salon, dining room, medical center, fitness center, arts studio, and more.
This photo was taken of Ashby Pond’s new campus currently under construction.

New Windermere Community In Ashburn
February 10th, 2008 categories: Buyers, Community Of The Week, Loudoun County, New Construction
One of the areas of real estate that I enjoy keeping up with is new construction. New construction in the Northern VA is nothing new and it seems like every day there is a new development sign going up.
With this blogsite, I intend to keep you up to date on new areas to look out for.
This week, I want to introduce you to a new community in Ashburn called “Windermere” by Pulte Homes. It is located at the intersection of Croson Lane and Claiborn Parkway. Or, just south of Broadlands South and west of Amberleigh Estates.
There will only be 187 homes built. 103 towns and 84 single families. The first deliveries will be in the March time-frame.
I am a personal fan of Pulte Homes. They typically build a quality home and have a lot of standard features that you don’t pay extra for. They also have a pretty strong rating from JD Power.
Town-homes range from Read the rest of this entry »
