Broad Run Oaks neighborhood is a great place to live, work and play.
New millennium neighborhood with three distinct subdivisions
Broad Run Oaks is a planned neighborhood developed in 2000 that offers a variety of lifestyle options through its three distinct subdivisions: Virginia Oaks, Broad Run Oaks and Saranac. Saranac is gated and offers residents miles of trails, lakefront living and camping, while Virginia Oaks and Broad Run Oaks are more traditionally suburban and closer to the Virginia Gateway shopping center for groceries and big-box retail options. The neighborhood has become a popular landing spot for D.C. area workers seeking solid amenities and lower home prices than the nation's capital. "When the pandemic hit, people who used to commute started flooding to this area because, with the ability to work from home, they realized how much they could have here," says Matt Megel, a Realtor and founding partner of The CAZA Group at Keller Williams. "[There are] excellent schools, rapidly growing shopping and entertainment and homes with a significantly lower price per square foot than where they had been."
Rows of two-story homes line the streets of the Broad Run Oaks neighborhood.

Houses here are relatively new, with the first ones being built in 2000. Virginia Oaks is filled with craftsman-style single-family homes and townhouses that go from the mid-$500,000s to $800,000.This subdivision features a community pool, consistent sidewalks and paved walking trails that snake behind many backyards, allowing easy access to neighbors for cookouts and gatherings. There are also 10 ponds in Virginia Oaks, and numerous waterfront homes sit on the banks of Lake Manassas. The Broad Run Oaks subdivision is more traditionally suburban and sits south of Virginia Oaks, with many brick colonial homes on spacious lots and multi-car attached garages. Roads here are also grid-patterned, and sidewalks are wide and thorough. The Broad Run Oaks HOA fee is currently $355 per quarter. Saranac residents can appreciate the great outdoors, as the subdivision is decorated with stone fire pits, hiking trails, a cabin-style clubhouse alongside the community pool, a pavilion, a playground and several lakeside fishing sites. This gated community is built on the former site of a church summer camp and offers waterfront resort amenities with a more rustic, woodsy aesthetic. New Traditional and craftsman-style homes here average five bedrooms and up to 7,000 square feet, generally for $1 million or more.

Virginia Oaks has a neighborhood forest
Each of the neighborhood's three subdivisions features a pool and pool house maintained by separate community associations. Virginia Oaks residents live beside a 167-acre green space that was once the Virginia Oaks Golf Course. In 2018, the course's decline in popularity led the Virginia Oaks HOA and Prince William County to replace it with a manmade forest, intercut by walking trails and picnic pavilions where locals can ride pikes or walk their dogs. The forest canopy features dogwood, white oak and maple trees, while wildflower beds line the edges of trails. Lake Manassas borders Broad Run Oaks to the west and has been closed for boating and swimming since 2004, as it is one of the county's largest water suppliers. Though many locals have tried to reopen the lake for recreation, only minor fishing is currently allowed. Conway Robinson State Forest is also nearby for hiking or mountain biking on miles of trails. Jiffy Lube Live is an outdoor amphitheater east of Broad Run Oaks and one of Gainesville's biggest attractions. It hosts mainly musical artists and standup comedians and can seat over 10,000 people in its large pavilion, with another 15,000 able to fill the grass lawn beyond it.
