Pohick has been transformed by residential development
After the old Lorton Reformatory closed in 1999, Associate Broker for Keller Williams Capital Properties Ron Kowalski, who was just getting into real estate at the time, noticed a change happening in his area. Suddenly, the Northern Virginia suburb of Pohick was becoming a desirable place to live because home buyers no longer minded the idea of living next to an ex-prison on the other side of Interstate 95. "It's really taken a long time to get to this point," says Kowalski. "Now, I don't get any pushback at all about prisons in Lorton because everybody knows they're gone and this place is now a commuter's dream."

Townhouses, neo-colonials and ranch-style homes
Pohick is a community of primarily single-family homes that starts at the shores of Gunston Cove and ends at the town center. The area is shaped like an amorphous triangle formed by its borders of highways in the northwest, marshland in the south, and Fort Belvoir in the northeast. Within is a random network of residential streets where residents stroll along their mid-sized sidewalks to visit friends or admire their neighbor's hydrangeas. But land is expensive in Northern Virginia, so homes in Pohick usually take the form of townhouses, very large neo-colonials situated on a small lot, or medium-sized ranch-style home on a medium-sized lot. That translates into a higher price range than the national average, with a single-family home often selling around a median price of $810,000, while some townhouses sell for anywhere from $300,000 to $750,000.
Townhomes are a popular option in the Pohick Neighborhood.

Lorton Station Towne Center is the heart of the community
There are a number of places nearby where you can stroll on down for a drink or a nice dinner, such as the centerpiece Lorton Station Towne Center. On a Saturday night, locals head there to get their fix of hot wings and bread pudding at Hometown Grill and Bar or margaritas from Casa Tequila Bar and Grill. During the day, the center is a small hub for retail and essential services. "I call that area 'New Lorton,'" says Kowalski. "There's a lot of health care right there too, so my dentist is right in town." And thanks to the town center's VRE train station, commuters and day-trippers alike can reach D.C.'s Union Station within three stops.
Kowalski also says that while the area is friendly to both commuters and pedestrians, "every once in a while, you need to get out of Pohick for big shopping or entertainment." Fortunately, you won't have to travel more than 3 miles to reach groceries at either an Amazon Fresh or a Lidl, but a Food Lion also exists in town for those looking to stay closer to home.
