You often hear the news talk about eastern or western Prince William County but in reality it is one huge county that covers 338 square miles with no official dividing line. Growth in county has spurred new development throughout the county and one such community is the Prince William County Center development that is located directly across the street from the Prince William County Government Center.
The first thing buyers considering the County Center development might be surprised to discover is the activities that take place across the street at the PW government center. Did you know you could take in a ball game? That's right the Potomac Nationals, the farm team of the Washington Nationals play their homes games there. Looking for music thenbring your chair for the concert series that takes place at the Connaughton Plaza. The community itself sponsored evenings on the green this sumemr as well. Enjoy an afternoon hiking in the Prince William Forest National Park, drop your boat in to the Occoquan River at Bull Run Marina, get in 18 holes of golf at the Old Hickory Golf Club or just lounge by the community pool.
the opening of the new Harris Teeter less than a mile away and with Ruby Tuesday's, dry cleaners, hair salons and other business right in the neighborhood is easy to see why the County Center neighborhood has been a hit with for both new and old Prince William residents. With detached homes, townhouses and condos there is a wide choice of not only the style of homes but prices as well. Prices in Prince William County are less than in nearby Fairfax and Loudoun Counties which adds to the appeal for home buyers looking to get more for their money.
If you work in DC or will be stationed at the Pentagon then Prince William County also offers extensive commuting options. With the Woodbridge VRE station, multiple bus routes and, slug lines, easy access to both I-95 and I-66, the area offers commuters a quick way to get into the city if that's where they need to go. For military and civilians who are relocating due to BRAC the drive to Fort Belvoir or Quantico you will be within 45 minutes of both at County Center.
Hi Cindy, I stumbled on your blog by viewing Relocation Blogs. As an ex (O-3) from the Army I Could not resist but check out what your Posts are for Military Relocation, I must commend you, this is truly a great post. I looked at your other post after this, and I must say that the Government and Military People will be lucky if they find you on the Web. I am sure you are very successful due to your knowledge.
Endre-thank you for your compliment. I've been fortunate to assist a number of military families relocating to or from our area and it is always a pleasure. With all of the sacrafices that military families make it is the least I can do to provide them with professional real estate service.
Great job of describing the community. It really gave me the lay of the land.
I live in Anacortes, WA and we get a lot of miliatry moving to and from your Area. (Folks stationed at Whidbey NAS). Please keep us in mind if you have any clients moving this way!
Jean-thanks for stopping by and I'll certainly keep you in mind when it comes to referrals to Whidbey NAS.
