New developments in historic Lovettsville
It's hard to call a town that has been around since 1732 a "newcomer," but with new growth, Lovettsville deserves a second glance. Once known as "the German Settlement," Lovettsville was a thriving, albeit rural, commerce hub for surrounding farms for 200 years. As larger urban centers came to compete, Lovettsville remained lackadaisically little and quintessentially quaint—until recent decades when the world seemed to stand up and take notice.

Charming historical architecture and a diverse array of price points
While initially drawn to Lovettsville's slower pace and rural serenity, homebuyers are also being pulled by its exceptional value. Somphane Jones, a Loudoun County local and a Realtor with Pearson Smith Realty, says, "You can get more for your money in Lovettsville right now. Homes are trending $50,000 to $100,000 less than other areas in Loudon, and there's a great opportunity to get in now. This area is growing, and as it does, real estate will increase in value."
Homes range in style from historic Victorians and Queen Annes to rambling custom-built homes and are priced from the $300,000s into the millions. In the Town of Lovettsville, a 2,400 square foot Craftsman bungalow with four bedrooms might go for $450,000—or for $600,000, you could score an early 2000s four-bedroom colonial with 3,000 square feet. Town houses with three bedrooms and 1,300 square feet are available around $300,000 or head out of town with $1 million or more, and you'll find luxury new-builds with four bedrooms, 6,000 square feet and a private 4-acre lot with stunning views of the Short Hill Mountains.

Long standing business and newer establishments downtown
As the area grows, some things stay the same. In historic downtown, homes and businesses dating back to the 1800s still sit side-by-side on the edge of narrow streets. Follow the smell of roasting coffee, and you’ll find the Back Street Brews Coffee and Tea House, a historic home-turned-coffee shop with eclectic vintage décor, where locals catch up on the front porch over freshly brewed coffee, ice cream and pastries. Or find friends down the street at the 1836 Kitchen and Taproom, a local watering hole offering classic American pub fare and German classics like pretzels, bratwurst and schnitzel in a 1940s building that was once a funeral home, a cabinet maker's shop and a brewery. Even new developments like the Lovettsville Town Square, built in 2016, respect the town's history. While housing modern retail and trendy restaurants, it features a main street feel and Bavarian architecture that nods to the town's German ancestry. Spaces like the Town Square promise to make retail readily available, and the Lovettsville Cooperative Market will soon be a full-service grocery store featuring locally sourced goods. However, for substantial shopping, locals still head north to Brunswick, Maryland, or take advantage of the retail hubs in Leesburg and Purcellville to the south.

Nearby events and attractions, from Oktoberfest to culinary tours
Every fall, the beer meister strikes the bung on an oaken keg of beer and shouts, "O zapft's!" thus officially kicking off Oktoberfest. This family-friendly celebration brings revelers from all over for beer, brats and an Old-World good time. In May, Mayfest pulls the community together in the Town Green for games, live music, food trucks and local vendors. Outside of town, you can take farm and culinary tours at Long Stone Farm—or make it a date night with their "Sunday Suppers," an adults-only multi-course dinner event. Want to bottle-feed a calf? Sign up at Sunny Knoll Eco-Farm. Or you can sip wine at the scenic Doukenie Winery and learn to ride horses at Twin Oaks Farm.
