Golf courses and high-end homes in Northern Virginia
Beyond the gatehouse of the Lake Manassas community, large brick homes and columned estates fill the spaces between golf course fairways and lake inlets. The residential community in Gainesville, Virginia, was built on the north side of Lake Manassas, a 700-acre reservoir. Set among two golf courses, the Lake Manassas neighborhood is a landing spot for high-income homeowners in search of privacy and luxurious homes. While Lake Manassas is secluded from the surrounding community, its location in Northern Virginia puts it within 40 miles of Washington, D.C., and less than 25 miles from Washington Dulles International Airport.
The Lake Manassas lifestyle
The lake doesn’t allow swimming or boating, but locals can walk along the water or cast a line from the bank. On several instances, citizens in the area have pushed for the lake to open up for recreation, but these efforts have failed, explains Matt Megel, a Realtor with The CAZA Group and a Gainesville resident. Golfers play alongside the lake at each of the neighborhood’s two courses. Stonewall Golf Club is a public 18-hole course that’s commonly used as a wedding venue. Robert Trent Jones Golf Club is a private course designed by the late Robert Trent Jones Sr., a well-known golf course architect who worked on 400 courses around the world. Community recreation amenities include a swimming pool, a tot lot and pickleball courts. The CAP Index Crime Score in the neighborhood is a 1 out of 10, with 10 indicating the highest crime. The score is lower than the national average of 4.
Stately homes in a gated community
The community’s winding streets and cul-de-sacs are mostly bordered by large single-family homes built in the 2000s. It’s not uncommon for these Colonial Revivals and new traditional houses to have five or more bedrooms. Homes are spaced apart on lots with a median size of a third of an acre. Prices vary from $480,000 to $1.5 million, though the median sales price is nearly $1 million. Home values in Lake Manassas are strong, but some perceive the styles of the houses as becoming outdated, Megel says. "Some of the architectural trends have gone away from what was popular in 2000." Townhouses on the northeast side of Lake Manassas offer a lower-cost entry point into the neighborhood. Those homes range in price from $710,000 to $840,000. Homeowners can keep up with the latest happenings through the Lake Manassas Connection. The quarterly newsletter shares updates from the Residential Homeowners Association Board of Directors and provides a community calendar. There’s a federally designated flood zone along the shore of Lake Manassas, though houses are generally outside the zone.
Waterfront dining at The Brass Cannon
At Stonewall Golf Club, The Brass Cannon restaurant prepares seasonal Southern dishes. Diners can eat by a stone fireplace in the winter or on a shaded patio overlooking Lake Manassas in the summer. A shopping center on the north end of the neighborhood puts Wegmans, Ross and Old Navy a short drive away from residents’ front doors. Megel recommends the barbecue at The Bone, located in the shopping center. On the west side of the neighborhood, holds weekly services and hosts rehearsals by the Gainesville Community Choir. Several other churches are within 5 miles of Lake Manassas, while masjids and Buddhist temples are within 10 miles of the neighborhood.
Gainesville High students learn at a modern campus
Children can take classes at Buckland Mills Elementary School and Reagan Middle School, both score 7 out of 10 by Great Schools, with 10 being the highest score. Teens can progress to Gainesville High School, which gets a 6 out of 10. Opened in 2021, the Gainesville High campus has modern features such as a covered amphitheater, lab space for the criminal justice program and a turf athletic field.
Pro tournaments at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club
Robert Trent Jones Golf Club often serves as the venue for professional golf tournaments. In September 2024 it hosts the Solheim Cup, a competition between professional American and European golfers every other year. The course is the four-time venue for the Presidents Cup, a recurring matchup between two teams, one made up of American pros and the other consisting of international golfers.
Straight shot to I-66
Residents can drive U.S. Route 29 to additional shopping at the Virginia Gateway shopping center, which houses Target, Lowe’s Home Improvement and Giant Food supermarket. Route 29 leads to Interstate 66, which motorists can take to Washington, D.C., about 40 miles away. There’s no public transportation accessible from Lake Manassas.
