South of Ashburn, Broadlands is a new master-planned community that spans 1,500 acres between the Dulles Greenway toll road to the east, Belmont Ridge Road to the west and Croson Lane to the south. Because it was built on wetlands, the National Wildlife Federation considers it a Certified Wildlife Habitat, and the natural landscape was deeply embedded in the neighborhood's design. "A great job has been done with civil engineering to beautify the community," says Michael Corum, a Realtor with Keller Williams McLean-Great Falls, "There's a drainage system through the community to prevent flooding, and the work they've done on the wetlands creates small creeks that decorate the area." People tend to move to Broadlands to be in an exclusively residential neighborhood with access to natural locales like the Beaverdam Reservoir and Loudoun County's highly-ranked schools.
According to the U.S. Census, Broadlands had about14,000 residents in 2020, a nearly 14% increase from 2010. The average household income in this neighborhood is roughly $200,000, more than double the national average. Loudoun is one of the biggest hubs for tech and IT jobs on the East Coast, and a significant portion of the world’s internet traffic runs through 200 data centers in the county. Recent crime data for Broadlands is not readily available.

Beaverdam Reservoir will soon be a boating and fishing destination
There are 150 acres of flora- and fauna-friendly outdoor spots to the west and south of Broadlands. At the Broadlands Wetlands to the southeast, visitors can stroll along the boardwalk while observing animals like foxes, turtles and geese. "One of the cool things about Broadlands is the access to Beaverdam Reservoir; people love going there to fish," says Corum. Beaverdam Reservoir, a manmade body of water west of Broadlands, spans 350 acres. Construction has been ongoing since 2019 to make it a waterfront park with a boat launch and welcome center. Residents of Broadlands can walk tree-lined trails by the lake and glimpse everything from herons and bald eagles to white-tailed deer and raccoons. Anglers can catch largemouth bass or catfish, and the Loudoun Rowing Association organizes and trains high school crew teams and professional rowers here. Neighborhood parks include Hillside and Stream Valley, both of which feature tennis courts and forested walking paths. Across the street from Hillside Park, the Broadlands Community Center welcomes residents to cool off in the neighborhood pool.
