Peaceful subdivisions with newly built homes in Harrisonburg
Massanetta Springs has modern subdivisions and a peaceful rural atmosphere on the outskirts of Harrisonburg. Locals enjoy tranquil views of farmland and rolling Blue Ridge Mountains in the Shenandoah Valley, while remaining connected to resources and employment opportunities. “The Valley has a pretty diverse community. James Madison University has opened up the entire area to outside influences,” says Jeff Konstant, a Realtor with Massanutten Realty who has served the area for 16 years. Faculty and parents of college students often relocate to the area, which is 4 miles from campus, but Konstant says that numerous industries create a stable, diversified economy. “You have tourism with the Shenandoah River and national park, Merck Pharmaceuticals, which has a manufacturing facility in Elkton, microbreweries and MillerCoors, and the agricultural businesses.” The pandemic-era shift towards remote work has resulted in new builds popping up in this remote area, where residents enjoy the peaceful green spaces and rolling mountain views of the Shenandoah Valley while maintaining close proximity to community services, like the Sentara RMH Medical Center.

Hiking and fishing on Lake Shenandoah
Lakeview Golf Club, a public golf course with three 9-hole courses, is in the center of the neighborhood. Golfers either play one course or opt to play all 27 holes, but in bad weather, they can also head inside to practice in the club’s virtual golf simulator bays. Locals go on peaceful strolls around Lake Shenandoah, where residents also go fishing or kayaking. During the summer, residents cool off at the East Rockingham Recreation Association; the private swim club costs about $600 for an annual family membership or around $450 for a single adult membership. New members also pay an additional $200 initiation fee. The aquatic complex has a kids’ wading pool, six swimming lanes and a diving well. “We aren’t far from the Swift Run Gap Entrance for Shenandoah National Park, so people will drive there to go hiking or take a scenic drive on Skyline Drive,” Konstant says. Driving 20 miles east on Route 33 takes residents to the entrance, where they can explore meadows, scenic overlooks and rugged hiking trails in the national park.
Fishers from around the area can head to Lake Shenandoah at Massanetta Springs.

U.S. Route 33 connects to major interstates
Residential roads don’t have sidewalks, so the area is very car-dependent. U.S. Route 33, which passes along the eastern edge of the neighborhood, is the major thoroughfare that takes drivers 5 miles northwest to downtown Harrisonburg. In Harrisonburg, residents can merge onto Interstate 81 to travel about 110 miles southeast toward Richmond or 130 miles northeast to Washington, D.C.
