Silver Lake is a quiet commuter community in west NoVa
What do you call vast acres of stunningly preserved natural habitats next to beautifully crafted planned housing communities, a large lake minutes from retail, and custom country estates that can access Wegman’s in a wink? If you’re a resident of Silver Lake in Western Prince William County, you call it home. The east-to-west migration from Greater Washington to Prince William, Loudoun and Fauquier Counties began like a slow-rolling snowball in the 1970s and has only increased in speed and size ever since. Natalie McArtor, a longtime Prince William resident and Associate Broker with Samson Properties, has been observing the migration for years. “People aren’t just coming from Washington anymore. They’re coming from all over because they want a rural lifestyle with the opportunity to have a larger home and a larger lot for less money. It’s great for those who work remotely, but now that the toll road on I-66 is complete, commuting is easier, too.”
Silver Lake provides a blend of tranquility and modern amenities, making it an ideal spot for comfortable living.
Residents of Silver Lake appreciate its serene atmosphere, community spirit, and nearby parks for recreation.

A wide variety of housing options are available
One of the biggest trends McArtor has observed is the arrival of retirees. “These people are downsizing from DC, Fairfax, Alexandria and Arlington. Their kids have already moved out to start families, so they’re following to have a quieter life and be close to their grandkids,” she says. Carter’s Mill is the perfect destination for this group. This resort-style 55-plus community features low-maintenance living in single-family and attached villa homes with amenities like a clubhouse with fitness facilities, an indoor and outdoor pool, planned activities and shared spaces. Homes here are modern with open floor plans and sell between $700,000 and $800,000 with 2,400 to 3,000 square feet and three spacious bedrooms.
Just to the south, The Villages of Piedmont offer contemporary single-family homes and townhouses. Located on Leopold’s Preserve, a 380-acre nature preserve, the theme of outdoor living permeates the community with two playgrounds, athletic courts, open meadows and a clubhouse that serves two outdoor pools. Plus, wide sidewalks invite a morning jog or bike ride, cul-de-sacs welcome friendly gatherings, and trees shade tidy yards. Here, you’ll find modern colonial-style homes in brick, stone and vinyl with up to 4,500 square feet and four or five bedrooms for prices starting in the high $600,000s up to nearly $1 million. For a townhouse, you’ll enjoy 2,000 to 3,000 square feet, contemporary finishings and three bedrooms for prices that start at $500,000 and range up to $675,000. Last but not least, homes from the 1950s through today are available in Silver Lake’s more rural areas to the west and south, including modest ranchers with 2,200 square feet starting at $520,000 and newly constructed estate homes with five bedrooms, 6,000 square feet and acres of tranquil privacy for $1.2 million.
Silver Lake’s housing market features properties ranging from modest ranchers to luxury homes priced from the mid-$600,000s to over $1 million.
