The crown jewel of the neighborhood is the incredible $12 million dollar Potomac Club which sits at the entrance to the community. Featuring both indoor and outdoor pools, a rock wall, billiards room and casual lounge the clubhouse was designed as a place for residents to gather and relax. The club also is a WiFi hot spot and business center giving residents who need to work from home the convenience of quiet spot to hold a meeting or get some work done just outside their own front door.
With the opening of the new Wegmans grocery store within walking distance of the community and the planned additional shopping at the Shops at Stonewall, Potomac Club has been well planned to meet the needs of a variety of buyers.

There have been 10 closed sales this year and are currently 10 properties under contract. These numbers only reflect what is shown in the MLS. Since builders are still offering new homes for sale the sales numbers may actually be higher.

Then perhaps you should check out the 17,000 acre forest hidden away in Prince William County. One of the least visited national forests on the east coast Prince William Forest Park is located about 35 miles south of DC off of I-95. Prince William Forest Park is maanged by the National Park Service.
The park was created by FDR as a recreational area for disadvantaged city kids. During WWI the park was used by the Office of Strategic Services for training. Most people do not realize that the park has cabins available for rent that can sleep 6-10 people. The cabins must be reserved but the rates are CHEAP! They aren't the Ritz but if your goal is to hike through the park and not sleep on the ground then this is the way to go. Prince William Forest Park has the largest inventory of cabins built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the entire National Park system.
With over 35 miles of hiking trails, both on road and off road biking trails, 18 miles of streams and two small lakes (also built by the CCC) the park has activities for everyone. Unlike a number of other national parks Prince William Forest Park is open year round and you can cross country ski in the winter.
If you aren't interseted in the crowds at the National Mall or along the Potomac River Trails then head just a little bit further south and take in a hidden gem in Prince William County. Fortunately Virginian's have lots of parks to choose from whether they are managed by the National Park Service or are a part of the Virginia State Park System it is the time of year to get out and enjoy the great outdoors.
