Houses sit on large lots
Most houses in Loudoun Valley Estates were built between the early 2000s and 2020s. Townhouses, New Traditional homes and Colonial Revivals are all common. Development here is ongoing, with several contemporary-style houses still being built. Raju says that single-family homes often have large lawns. “They can sit on quarter- to half-acre lots, so there’s tons of space for kids to run around in their backyards.” The median price of a townhouse is around $652,000, while the median price of a single-family home is about $1.2 million. Both prices are higher than the national median. Houses here typically sell after 18 days on the market, which is faster than the national average. The HOA must sign off on exterior changes to homes, like paint color and roof updates.
According to FBI data, Loudoun County has lower violent and property crime rates than national and state figures.

Loudoun Valley Estates is on the western edge of the Dulles International Airport. The community is in Loudoun County’s Airport Impact Overlay District, which means flight paths are overhead, so locals often hear plane noise. However, Raju says this is normal for the area. “If you live within 10 miles of Dulles, you should expect noise. But that doesn’t stop people from buying a house here. Everybody eventually gets used to [the noise.]”
