Glenkirk Estates is the perfect place to escape to and call home.
Modern Gainesville suburb
Glenkirk Estates is one of Gainesville’s newest suburbs, developed in the last twenty years. “The locals talk about the two sides, the new side and the pool side,” says Matt Megel, a Gainesville resident, Realtor and founding partner of the CAZA Gainesville team at Keller Williams. “The new side was the last to be developed by [the home builder] Drees and has the most expensive properties in the area, going over 1 million.” The pool side's homes are still new, but relatively older as far as the neighborhood's development. It's also convenient for residents who want to walk to and from the community pool on hot summer days. The neighborhood comprises 575 single-family homes and hosts an HOA-maintained community pool, as well as a small business plaza called the Shoppes at Glenkirk. Residents here are also minutes from the larger Virginia Gateway shopping center, Jiffy Lube Live for concerts and Conway Robinson Forest for nature hikes. Glenkirk Estates appeals to buyers seeking new millennium homes close to Gainesville's attractions, and a decent driving distance from northern Virginia and D.C. employers.
Glenkirk Estates is a great place to explore and take in the beauty of nature.
Buyers can pick find homes in the "pool side" or the "new side"
The north side of Glenkirk Estates has the community pool and some of the neighborhood’s older homes, built from the late ‘90s through the mid-2000s, ranging between $675,000 and $850,000. 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.

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.
