Near Haymarket and Gainesville, golfing communities are growing. Piedmont is now sold-out, however, Dominion Valley with its Arnold Palmer golf course and Lake Manassas with its Presidential golf course are very popular alternatives. Prestigious and beautifully developed, Lake Manassas is one of Virginia’s premiere planned golfing communities. Located west of the historical Bull Run battlefield, this gated community was host to the President’s Cup and is renown for its natural beauty, lush topography, lake and luxurious amenities. Lake Manassas features some of the area’s foremost custom and production builders and caters to discriminating homebuyers with upscale ambiance and quality built estate homes. In our opinion, reasonable prices, quality construction, floor plan options and emphasis on the "personal touch" make this community unique and an outstanding value, however it too is nearly sold-out.

The city of Manassas has been doing well. Prices rose nearly 20 percent in 2003 and are still rising up again an estimated 23% in 2005 over 2004, however Manassas is not as active with new home construction as is the immediate surrounding area and is nearly sold-out. Supply is limited and contract bidding wars on resale homes are not uncommon.

The real estate market in Manassas and Manassas Park is stimulated by it's close proximty to the VRE and Old Town Manassas.

Located in southeastern Prince William County is Triangle and the Quantico Marine base. The town of Quantico is older and the market for resale homes is brisk but people’s desire to build new homes continues to be popular.

In sum, Prince William is a very large county with a wide variety of new homebuilding opportunities at reasonable prices… a welcome relief for those wishing to make an affordable new home investment providing excellent overall value and good appreciation potential.
