Prince William County and Manassas Neighborhood Information
There are large communities here like Dale City that was a dream of Cecil Hylton to build a neighborhood of affordable homes. Mr. Hylton passed away many years again, but his dream lived on. Dale City is the largest community on the eastern end of Prince William County. Most of the new construction is taking place on the western end of the county. There is Bramar, Kingsbrooke, Saybrooke, Bridlewood and Amberleigh Station to name a few. We also have two great retirement communities for the over-55 crowd--Dunbarton and Heritage Hunt. Then there are also golf communities like Virginia Oaks, Lake Manassas, Piedmont, Dominion Valley and Evergreen.

First Time Buyers >The Elements of Location
When you are in the market for a home, how should you evaluate the properties that appeal to you? There is an old cliché about the three most important factors of a piece of property--location, location and location.
Some neighborhoods have a certain distinction that attracts buyers, but there are other factors to take into account. A house in the best part of town may have a few points subtracted if it is located on a busy street. There are buyers who would like to be close to schools, shopping, and churches, but don't want to live across the street from these facilities. You may want an easy commute to your job, but would not consider a location close to the "on" ramp for the major route into town. A location close to a airport could be convenient if you are a commercial pilot, but could make it difficult to sell even the most wonderful house.
As you balance all of the factors, remember that a location liability which gets you a great house at a reasonable price will probably require you to pass a similar savings on to future buyers.
