It’s little surprise that some of the East Coasts’ most distinguished, upscale active adult living communities call Northern Virginia their home. The NoVA region teems with attractive, exclusive neighborhoods, and it’s logical that area residents aged fifty-five and older wouldn’t be willing to settle. The following are some of the most desirable senior communities in the greater D.C. metro area, although it’s far from a comprehensive list!
Ashburn is already one of NoVA’s most sought-after communities, and the refined elegance of Potomac Green does nothing to diminish the allure of living here! Experience endless entertainment with onsite tennis and bocce courts, both indoor and outdoor swimming, miles of walking trails framed by community gardens, and over twenty-five resident clubs and committees. Luxury condos start in the low $190,000’s, and single-family homes start in the high $200,000’s. All are outfitted in the sleekest and most modern of trim, with stainless appliances, granite, tile, and spacious, open floorplans designed with your active lifestyle in mind.
The Gatherings at Wellington, located in Manassas, is a great example of a luxurious active adult community. Presented by Beazer Homes, the single-story residences in this beautiful development boast every amenity you’d expect in a higher-end condo, with additional perks aimed at adults 55+ and on the move, like ample elevators and private garages. Wide open, flexible layouts lend themselves naturally to entertaining and hosting extended family functions, and well-appointed trims (granite countertops, stainless appliances, hardwood floors) make home feel like a retreat. Several 2/2 floorplans are available, with pricing starting at $259,000.
Life doesn’t get posher than within Celebrate by Del Webb, situated ideally in Fredericksburg. This is a community rich in recreation opportunities, boasting swimming, tennis and bocce courts, a horseshoe pit, a putting green, an outdoor amphitheater, a patio area for community cookouts, over twenty miles of recreational trails, a nearby championship golf course, and a clubhouse of almost 31,000 sq. ft. Single-level floorplans ensure life is sweet and easy. Two bedroom villas start at $186,990, and two- to four bedroom homes (as large as 3,000 sq. ft!) start at $230,990.
