NORTHERN VIRGINIA REALTOR

Loudoun County and Hunt Country Communities

From historic villages to Hunt Country estates

Northern Virginia covers a remarkable range of lifestyles in a short drive. Within an hour of Washington, you can trade a Metro-served condo in Arlington for a stone farmhouse at the foot of the Blue Ridge. Loudoun County holds much of that range: the planned neighborhoods and commuter routes of the east give way to rolling farmland, historic villages and dozens of wineries in the west. Farther south along Route 50, the estates, stone walls and horse farms of Middleburg and Upperville define Virginia's Hunt Country.

​

Every community has its own character. Waterford is a National Historic Landmark village founded by Quaker settlers. Leesburg pairs a historic downtown with modern conveniences, and Purcellville anchors western Loudoun with a walkable Main Street and the end of the W&OD Trail. Hamilton, Hillsboro, Lovettsville, Bluemont and Paeonian Springs offer small-town and village life surrounded by open country, while Aldie sits where newer neighborhoods meet the countryside.

​

For buyers relocating from elsewhere in the DMV, that variety is both the appeal and the challenge. Prices, lot sizes, commutes and even the rules that govern a property can shift from one village to the next, so it pays to understand the differences before you start touring homes.
