Sudley Springs is a D.C. bedroom community with historic highlights
Nestled in history-rich Prince William County, the community of Sudley Springs has been the home of farms, a prosperous mill, a thriving village, a historic church and a hotel that housed visitors who came to sample the healing water of a nearby mineral spring. However, in the 1860s, the community fell to the ravages of war as the two battles of Manassas raged through the area. In the 1940s, the Manassas National Battlefield Park was created to memorialize the site of some of the Civil War's bloodiest battles. Covering over 5,000 acres, it also preserves the land itself, land that hides the scars of war with vivid green hills and mountain vistas. The surrounding areas are comprised of farms and farmettes, many of which have been passed down through generations. As urban development has continued to push west in recent decades, several planned communities, retail hubs and major highways have also emerged. Today, Sudley Springs has experienced a regeneration that marries its historically significant past with a bright new future.
Natalie McArtor, an associate broker with Samson Properties in Prince William County, has seen firsthand how the area has grown to accommodate a new class of homebuyers, one she describes as "people who want to move to the countryside and get a larger home with a larger lots — for a lot less than they would pay further east." She goes on to say, "With I-66 and Routes 15, 29 and 234 all right here, Sudley Springs has become an ideal bedroom community for D.C., especially now that we have busses and express lanes for I-66."
Sudley Springs offers quiet streets and scenic walks near historic sites.

Homes have been springing up amid the area's farmland since the '60s
While farms have dotted the landscape for centuries, the 1960s, '70s and '80s brought about some small housing developments filled with ranch-style houses, brick ramblers, split-levels and classic colonials. Most of these homes now sell for between $325,000 and the high $800,000s. Often situated on large lots of an acre or more, they provide anywhere from 1,200 square feet up to 4,500 square feet. The 2000s brought a new wave of contemporary and luxury homes. Some can be found in planned communities, while others have been built independently on large acreage throughout the areas. For one of these homes, you can expect to pay close to $900,000 on the low end. For the highest levels of luxury, you may pay $2 million or more.
