21st-century suburb built around a 19th-century farm
Morris Farm comes from Dr. Douglas "Doc" Morris, a 19th-century physician known for sharing his homegrown vegetables with patients. Today, the Morris farmhouse is the hilltop centerpiece of Meadows at Morris Farm, a 660-home master-planned community developed in 2004. The neighborhood prioritizes its natural landscapes and green spaces as a tribute to the old Morris Farm's agricultural roots and because of the county's specific zoning laws. In the late 1990s, Prince William County established the Urban Growth Boundary, which would allow the development of communities like Meadows at Morris Farm while preserving the rural landscape of county land west of James Madison Highway and Vint Hill Road, now called the Rural Crescent. As a result, residents can have walkable streets and spacious suburban lots at home while being minutes away from nature preserves or tours of Virginia wine country. Commutes to D.C. or Northern Virginia employers can take about an hour along Interstate 66.
Acres of green space around Meadows at Morris Farm
Spread over 268 acres, the neighborhood is defined by mature trees, gently sloping hills and wide-open spaces, offering what Matt Megel, a Morris Farm local, Realtor and founding partner of The CAZA Group at Keller Williams, describes as "breathtaking views from every direction." It's normal to see neighbors walking, biking and jogging along 4,000 square feet of paved pathways and nature trails on the conservation land in the south end of Morris Farm. These trails begin at Meadows at Morris Fam Community Center, with a clubhouse and pool open to residents in the summer months. Farther north is Peacock Park, a shady pocket park where kids can run free, with a playground and benches. A fishing pond and Broad Run Creek on the neighborhood border attract amateur anglers, and the large meadow next to the community pool hosts fall football games, summer celebrations and winter sledding. Prince William Golf Course is a public facility just a mile south that offers lessons and 18 holes for golfers of different skill levels to enjoy.
New millennium homes along the Rural Crescent
The neighborhood's development began in 2004 and included four different builders, each lending their architectural influence. "The real selling point of this diversity is that it opens the neighborhood up to a wider range of buyers," Megel says. Homes are typically priced between $610,000 and $900,000, varying by square footage and lot size. Styles include Colonial Revivals and Craftsman-style homes, townhouses and duplexes. Morris Farm has consistent sidewalk infrastructure along grid-patterned streets, and many residents are attached to "courtyard" green spaces that serve as common areas, like Peacock Park.
Community events and Jiffy Lube Live concerts
"[Morris Farm is] a lively community in terms of integrating," Megel says. "We have tons of community events, including monthly food trucks and movie nights at the pool in the summer. Our Halloween celebration brings past residents back to the neighborhood. Christmas decorations are incredible. We have an annual Easter egg hunt, and the list goes on." Locals are also a 5-mile drive from Jiffy Lube Live, one of Virginia's biggest outdoor entertainment venues, regularly hosting standup comedians and chart-topping musicians.
Locals shop at Virginia Gateway and dine at the Promenade
Virginia Gateway is a 10-minute drive north for day-to-day shopping and outings, offering a Giant, BJ's Wholesale, Target, Lowe's and Hobby Lobby on the center's north side. On the south side is The Promenade, a walkable Main Street mall that hosts upscale retailers, health and beauty services, a 14-screen Regal Cinema and restaurants like Uncle Julio's and Bar Louie. Five miles west is The Winery at Sunshine Ridge Farm, a locally owned vineyard on the banks of Lake Manassas, where locals can sample wine and gaze at Lake Manassas. It also hosts private events.
Nearby Prince William County schools
Morris Farm is home to Glenkirk Elementary School, which earns an A rating from Niche. Middle schoolers can attend Gainesville Middle, which is rated an A-minus. At the B-plus-rated Gainesville High, teens can participate in the Pathways to Global Citizenship program with their choice of focusing on mathematics, history, science or world language and culture.
Driving to D.C. for work is common
Residents tend to be car-dependent, as no major public transit system is nearby. Route 66 is a few minutes north of Meadows at Morris Farm and leads to Washington, D.C., after a 30-mile drive. Gainesville is less than 3 miles north for folks who want to shop at Virginia Gateway, while Dulles International Airport is 24 miles north.
