The Best Part Of Ashburn = Redskins Park

The Best Part Of Ashburn = Redskins Park- original post

This is a Northern VA Real Estate Blog.

Many of you don't watch football. Therefore, I apologize for today's post. However, we are only a few weeks away from football season and I can hardly contain myself. I love the skins.

Therefore this morning I made my way out to the open practice offered every year by the Redskins free of charge in Ashburn, VA. I wanted to share a few photos with you.

Loudoun Monthly Sales Stats

I have been busy on getting a home to settlement so I missed yesterday's stats. Therefore, I am making it up to you. These stats cover all of Loudoun County.

A few GOOD notes (forgive me for being optimistic... there are plenty of negative sites out there for those looking).

  • We have continued to see a climb in homes sold which carried over in May.
  • Average sales prices INCREASED for the first time in months!
  • There are LESS homes now on the market than before! Less supply.
  • Fewer new listings went on the market in May.

Ashburn Condo Stats

Wednesday is stat day so here you go...

Usually when showing stats I leave out condos because they have a tendency to bring down the accuracy of stats. So, I wanted to be fair and give those condos their own post.

I have broken down the stats between Ashburn's 2 zip codes. 20147 is Ashburn's north side including neighborhoods like Ashburn Village & Farm, Belmont, etc... 20148 includes the neighborhoods Brambleton, Broadlands, and more.

20147 has more condos available currently built than 20148. The only 20147 condos still being built are in Belmont (I think they are called The Ridges). The only ones I can think of still being built in 20148 are in Brambleton by Centex and Beazer.

If would like a list of condos for sale in Ashburn or other cities you can search HERE or I will email you a list. CONTACT ME HERE.

Community Of The Week: Ashburn's Broadlands

Broadlands Community Sign

If you are a Loudoun local you have heard of the Broadlands. It's not the fact that the Broadlands has created their own unincorporated name inside of Ashburn. Nope. People in the Broadlands have a major agenda currently. That agenda is getting their own hospital.

I find it humorous when reading the local papers every week with full page ads being ran from the current Loudoun Hospital in Lansdowne, only a little more than a mile down the road, or ads from the Broadlands. There is a lot of ink being spilt over this hospital. Truth be told, I don't have too much of an opinion on the issue, except if it means more taxes for Loudoun at this time I can't say I am too excited.

Well, this article has little to do with county battles and more to do with the large community of the BROADLANDS. I will try to stay on course.

THE BROADLANDS

The Broadlands is a beautiful community located in Loudoun County (20148). It is and is still being built on 1502 acres off of exit 5 of the Dulles Greenway in Ashburn. Van Metre Homes (a JD Power Quality Leader) is the developer of the land and has built the majority of the homes in the community. The Broadlands is estimated to be finished in 2010 and will have around 3,800 homes when fully developed.

The goal of the Broadlands when building was to preserve as much of the natural environment as possible. The community has set aside 150 acres of wetlands and woodlands for vegetation and wildlife. They even constructed a 5,000 square foot nature center. Not bad. Residents therefore are able to enjoy walking trails, ponds, birdhouses, and a "butterfly meadow." I have to say that the quality and detail of developers has seemingly increased with the slow down of the real estate market.

Amenities and Shopping

taken from www.broadlands.orgDepending on where your home is located in the Broadlands you have access some great amenities. Every Broadlands resident has access to the community pool, tennis courts, parks, tot lots, etc.. with the community HOA fee which I believe runs around $150 a month. However, if you live in the southern part of the community which is mostly newer called Southern Walk you are blessed with an additional Open-Band fee than varies in price which includes cable, internet, and telephone. And no, until that community contract is up, you don't have a choice of whether you will pay it.

For those of you who love local shops, the Broadlands currently has every Ashburn neighborhood beat. They have two large community shopping centers; Broadlands Marketplace and Broadlands Village Center. These places include some great restaurants such as Bone Fish, The Original Steakhouse (with the coolest sports bar in town), American Flatbread, and Glory Days. By the way, the classiest restaurant in town is in the Broadlands... Clyde's Willow Creek Farm.
