Expansive riverside community in Prince William County
Potomac Shores is a growing master-planned community on the banks of the Potomac River in Prince William County. “Potomac Shores is all newer development within the past seven to eight years, and they are still building out there,” says Susie Branco Zinn, Associate Broker and Realtor with RE/MAX Gateway. As a newer planned community, there is a strong emphasis on keeping amenities insulated, whether placing homes less than a mile from retailers and restaurants along Richmond Highway and Interstate 95 or offering recreational spaces for sports, hiking, and extensive watersport options on the Potomac. Convenience and variety are the neighborhood’s main appeals. And with upcoming mixed-use developments in the works, Potomac Shores will continue to expand for the foreseeable future.
Potomac Shores is a great place to call home.

Residents have access to community clubs and a sports complex
The Shores Club is a sizeable 13,000-square-foot community space with farmhouse and barn-themed buildings to match the rustic, pastoral grounds on which the neighborhood is built. There’s an event space, dubbed the “Social Barn,” popular for weddings or other private events, a fitness center and two pools. Residents also have access to the public Potomac Shores Golf Club, a Jack Nicklaus-designed course with the Tidewater Grill attached to the clubhouse, for brunch and dinner. Further to the west is Ali Krieger Sports Complex, which has baseball and soccer fields and a playground. The complex regularly hosts youth sports leagues for practices and games. A few minutes north is Leesylvania State Park, where residents can launch motorboats from the Hampton’s Landing Marina, kayak or paddleboard, fish or hike along Lee’s Wood Trail and catch sweeping vistas of Occoquan Bay from one of several scenic overlooks.

I-95 and Richmond Highway, plus a new VRE train station coming soon
Residents can easily access Richmond Highway, or U.S. Route 1, to reach Quantico in 3 miles or Fort Belvoir in 17 miles. The bustling I-95 is west of Potomac Shores and can lead commuters or vacationers to major cities up and down the East Coast. Another addition to the neighborhood is a new Virginia Railway Express station that is currently in development. “That is definitely a plus because that is going to be the midway point between the Woodbridge VRE and Quantico VRE stations,” Branco Zinn says, adding that residents need to enter the Marine Corps Base Quantico to access the Quantico VRE station. This new station saves commuters time when getting to other points of interest throughout Virginia, like Manassas, Spotsylvania, and D.C.
