Planned suburb with private lake and amenities

Montclair is a planned community in Prince William County. Established in 1969, it has about 4,000 homes surrounding a 108-acre lake. With a property owner’s association, private amenities for residents to enjoy and events throughout the year, the community’s 22,000 residents know their neighbors. "Most people, when they get here, they stay," says Tony Lee, a local real estate agent at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Select Realty who lived in Montclair. Schools, shopping centers and sports fields are within walking distance, and the commuter-friendly community is near many transportation options leading to Washington, D.C., Quantico and Fort Belvoir.

Hanging out at Montclair Lake

Montclair has many private amenities for residents. 108-acre Montclair Lake sits in the rough center of the community – within walking distance from some homes – and has three beach access points: Dolphin Beach, Beaver Landing and West Beach. The beach areas, open to community members and their guests only, have picnic tables, fishing docks, lifeguards and sandy shores. Non-motorized boats that are registered with the HOA are also allowed. Dolphin Beach is the largest of the three, featuring basketball hoops, volleyball courts, barbecue grills and an amphitheater overlooking the water where community events are sometimes held.

Near the MPOA office, children run around Kid’s Dominion, a large community playground with covered picnic shelters, while pups play in the adjacent Victory Dog Park. Golfers can tee off at the 18-hole, semi-private Montclair Country Club. On rolling hills and surrounded by trees, the club is a quiet weekend getaway that offers a pool, tennis courts and a banquet hall.

Just across Route 234 from Montclair is Prince William Forest Park, a 15,000-acre nature preserve with 37 miles of hiking and biking trails through dense forest and along creeks, camping areas and educational programs.

35 miles to Washington, D.C.

Montclair is just off Interstate 95, about 12 miles northwest of Quantico, 20 miles southwest of Fort Belvoir and 35 miles southeast of downtown D.C. Commuter lots are within Montclair and in nearby Dumfries, so residents can hop on a bus or carpool. "The PRTC Bus has three routes: one goes into D.C., one goes further into D.C., and one goes to the Pentagon." He also explains that the commuter lots have spots for the "Slug Lines," where drivers pick up carpoolers so they can use the High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes into and around D.C. for free. "The HOT Lane can cost anywhere from $10 to $40 each way to D.C. If I go to the commuter lot and pick up 'slugs,' I can go for free," Lee says.

Crime

According to the Prince William County Police Department, the county’s overall crime rate increased 1% from 2022 to 2023.
