Antioch
Rural Neighborhood in Gainesville, Virginia
Prince William County 20169
Midcentury builds alongside custom farmhouse estates
Antioch features a handful of subdivisions from the 1970s and '80s, featuring ramblers and split-level homes with large 1-acre lots. Prices for these homes hover around $600,000 for three or four bedrooms and 2,000 square feet. The rest of Antioch's housing inventory consists of sprawling country estates, old historic farmhouses and custom homes in all shapes, sizes and price points. Antioch also has a significant land market, so buyers can get multi-acre parcels of undeveloped land. Dense tree cover cloaks the community, and locals typically have spacious lawns and may need to drive along winding roads to visit neighbors or grab necessities. “The lots that are on the mountain themselves don’t lend to much good use because your driveways are either going up or down a big hill. The ones at the base, you can have hobby farms: people with goats, horses and chickens,” says Bien.Beside James S. Long Regional Park and preserves like Silver Lake Regional Park
Antioch is filled with vibrant greenery, so locals can easily reach spaces like James S. Long Regional Park just east of Route 15. The park is a hub for youth sports leagues with seven soccer fields and four baseball diamonds. Locals can also use two basketball courts, two tennis courts and a large playground with climbing equipment for little tots and big kids — or hike more than 4 miles of natural, wooded trails. Just south of Antioch, Silver Lake Regional Park has a 23-acre lake. Locals can attend classes and camps, take out kayaks or paddle boards, go fishing or hike the tranquil trails cutting through the park's woodlands.Nearby Prince William County schools
Students attend Prince William County Public Schools, which receive an overall A-minus rating from Niche. Elementary students start at Gravely Elementary, located in the neighboring Dominion Valley. Reagan Middle School offers afterschool clubs ranging from arts and drama to archery and honor societies. Both schools receive A-minus ratings from Niche. They then round out their academic career at Battlefield High School with an A rating. Battlefield High is known for its football team, which has won three back-to-back Cedar Run District titles from 2020 to 2023. Folks come from all around to watch the games under the Friday night lights.Most folks take I-66 to commute
Locals here need a car to travel down the neighborhood’s wooded expanses. Gainesville is a 7-mile drive south for shopping runs or dinner at Virginia Gateway. Commuters are a mile away from Interstate 66, which leads to Washington, D.C., in 41 miles, about an hour’s drive from home. Dulles International Airport is 26 miles away from home and offers domestic and international flights.Retail and dining is a quick drive from Antioch's limits
“At one point, if you lived there, you had to drive 30 minutes for groceries,” says Bien. “Now development is encroaching, it's still considered rural, but restaurants and grocery stores are a lot closer.” Despite being rural, Antioch is a 10-minute drive from retail, restaurants, hospitals and major highways. Head east to Village Market Square Shopping Center, with a Giant for groceries, a gas station and local dives like Olde Dominion Tavern for a draft beer or burger. Folks can head to Haymarket, which hosts a Walmart, Aldi, Home Depot and Kohl's, and commuter-friendly access to I-66 or Route 15. At home is La Grange Winery, a 20-acre working vineyard shaded by English boxwood trees. Folks can sample Virginia wines in the 18th-century manor house and take in scenic views from the lawn or join a tour to see the winemakers in action and hear tales of ghosts that are believed to haunt the building. Gainesville's strip malls and live music venues are a 7-mile drive south of Antioch. The Virginia Gateway shopping center features Target, Lowe's and Best Buy. A mile south of Virginia Gateway is Jiffy Lube Live, an amphitheater that hosts national touring acts and seats 10,000 in the shaded theater and another 15,000 on the lawn.

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.
