Powells Creek
Once an area inhabited by the Doeg tribe, Powells Creek is now home to more than 8,500 people. Surrounded by busy streets and relaxing woodlands, the neighborhood offers a commuter-friendly home close to the great outdoors.
About 30 miles from Washington, Powells Creek consists of several planned communities. Stratford Glen is one of the longest-standing subdivisions, dating back to the late 1980s, and features bay windows and natural shade from the mature trees weaved throughout each property. Other communities incorporate more recent builds with less established greenery. “There’s a couple of nice subdivisions of Spriggs Road that are new,” Tim Emery of Samson Properties explains. Some of the newer communities in the area include Potomac Reserve, an energy-efficient subdivision started in 2019, and Hope Hill Crossing, known for its amenities and newly constructed homes. Three-bedroom single-family homes in the area cost between $460,000 and $601,000. Four- and five-bedroom homes vary in price depending on land size and square footage. Homes closer to 2,500 square feet start at around $520,000, while homes over 4,500 square feet start at $750,000.
Different amenities accompany each subdivision, so what you do in your free time might depend upon which association you move into. Take advantage of the recreation center in Hope Hill Crossing or make a splash in the Ashland Conservancy Homeowner Association pool. No matter which community you join, activities in and around the neighborhood ensure no shortage of things to do. Score a goal on the field or climb through the train-themed tunnel at the Howison Homestead Soccer Complex. For longer adventures, hike along 37 miles of scenic trails at Prince William Forest Park, right across Dumfries Road. The park also hosts events like Living History Days and themed hikes throughout the year.
When it comes to academics, students attend Prince William County Schools, beginning right in the neighborhood at Kyle R. Wilson Elementary. The Parent Teacher Organization hosts several weekly activities at Wilson, including Read-A-Thons, movie nights and BINGO nights. From here, students attend Saunders Middle and Hylton High. According to Niche, Hylton earns an overall B+ and is the fifteenth-most diverse public school in the state.
Whether stocking the fridge or crossing errands off the list, all the retailers you need are nearby. While Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center is only 6 miles away, Powells Creek includes Staples Mill Shopping Center, a one-stop shop for daily essentials. “You’ve got your Food Lion right there on the corner of Spriggs and Minnieville,” Emery says. Besides the grocery store, the center includes an animal hospital, nail salon and dry cleaner. If you want to dine out, enjoy the stuffed flounder at Armetta’s Italian Grill and Pizzeria, also housed within the same plaza. If you live on the opposite end of the neighborhood, find Capital One Bank, CVS and the All American Steakhouse & Sports Theater along Dumfries Road.
With Minnieville Road running through Powell Creek and Dumfries Road flanking its southern border, commuting to surrounding cities in any direction proves simple. “It’s about 35 minutes to DC and 20 minutes to Quantico,” Emery explains. “A lot of people commute to DC. People even go down to Fredericksburg. It’s a mixed bag.” For a neighborhood that makes travel simple and adventure easy, settle down in Powells Creek.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
