On the other side of Rollins Ford Road is the south side, or “new side,” which has larger homes built within the last ten years, usually selling for $900,000 to well over $1 million. “There were probably somewhere around 3-4 different builders that worked on this community between [2005 – 2015],” says Megel. “[There’s a] decent variety of home sizes and privacy of lots, [with] no townhouses or condos.” Craftsman and colonial-style homes often feature multi-car garages and spacious lawns. Sidewalks are consistent, and quick trips within the neighborhood can be accomplished on foot.Locals can walk to the Shoppes at Glenkirk

It features diners like Nankar Peru, which offers authentic Peruvian dishes like Lomo Saltado, with savory smoked steak, crispy onions and fresh tomatoes.

Community pool on the neighborhood's north side
Folks from all over the neighborhood head to the Glenkirk Estates Community Pool to cool off in the humid Virginia summers. There’s also a playground just outside the pool clubhouse, and picnic areas with stone barbecue pits. The HOA maintains the community pool, and dues typically cost a little over $300 a quarter. A mile west of home leads to Rollins Ford Park, a rustic, farm-themed playground for kids. The Prince William Golf Course is close to Rollins Ford Park and offers wide, open fairways, private lessons and date night clinics to tee off with a partner. A 4-mile drive north leads to Conway Robinson State Forest, with numerous forested trails popular for hiking and mountain biking. Locals can reach Jiffy Lube Live in minutes; this outdoor amphitheater regularly hosts concerts and draws crowds from all around Virginia. It has hosted chart-topping artists like Green Day, Kiss, Rush and Jimmy Buffett, as well as rallies for presidential nominees like Barack Obama back in 2008. Guests can sit in the shaded section close to the stage, seating about 10,000, or get lawn tickets and set up a picnic blanket, Woodstock-style. The lawn seats a little over 14,000 people at capacity.

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.
