About 25 miles northwest of Washington, D.C., sits Chantilly, a community that mixes suburban charm and urban convenience. With proximity to U.S. routes 50 and 28 and the Dulles Airport, the neighborhood serves as a gateway to the nation’s capitol. Homes here sit on roads with cul-de-sacs, and two highly-rated school districts serve the community. Locals are only a short drive from commercial conveniences – grocery stores, restaurants and well-known retailers line busy thoroughfares. But despite a dense cluster of businesses and location near D.C., homes in Chantilly sit on streets that are quiet, offering a retreat from bustling city life.

Homes in neat subdivisions, condos and townhouses
Homes in Chantilly mostly sit in tidy subdivisions with wide, walkable streets and sidewalks. Realtor Lisa Smith with Pearson Smith Realty, LLC, notes that properties in Chantilly don’t stay on the market long. “We take outdoor pictures first to introduce the property to the coming-soon market and start a buzz, do some staging, then have the interior photos taken, have an open house, and they’re usually sold in less than a week,” she says. “Many homes receive multiple offers and go for much more than the listing price." New Traditional, Colonial Revival, split-level and ranch-style properties are common and typically run in the $600,000 to $1.5 million range. Condos typically cost between $300,000 and $700,000, while townhouses run in the $300,000 to $950,000 range.

Flatlick Stream Valley Park
Chantilly isn't short on green space despite being a densely populated area only 25 miles from the nation’s capital. Locals hike and walk their dogs on paved pathways at Flatlick Stream Valley Park “It’s a beautiful park with nice walking trails,” Smith says. Kids run around the playgrounds at Poplar Tree Park, while golfers practice their swings at GTR, an indoor open-bay golf simulator. For an outdoor golf game, there’s International Country Club, which also offers members an outdoor pool, fitness center, tennis courts and more. The Dulles Expo Center is also in the neighborhood, hosting events like Comic Con, stamp expos and collector’s shows. The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, a branch of the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum, is a popular spot for field trips.
Two school districts: Loudoun County Schools or Fairfax County Public Schools
Depending on where in Chantilly they live, students might attend Loudoun County Schools or Fairfax County Public Schools. “That’s the first thing buyers should understand about the area,” Smith says. “It’s served by two different school systems because Chantilly comprises two different counties.” Those zoned for Fairfax County Public Schools can attend Brookfield Elementary School, which gets a B-minus from Niche, before Rocky Run Middle School, which gets an A. They can finish their public education at Chantilly High School, which gets an A from Niche and offers a JROTC program. Those zoned for Loudoun County Schools can attend Hutchison Farm Elementary School, which gets a B-plus from Niche, before Willard Intermediate School, which gets an A. They can complete their public education at John Champe High School, which earns an A-plus and offers four Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs.
