River Oaks
Just South of Arlington and Alexandria, River Oaks is a friendly, cost-effective neighborhood with a strong sense of camaraderie. ‘It’s a really good community and has a lot of HOA amenities,” says Bonita Love, a real estate agent with Weichert Realtors. “It’s just a great place to live.” Families, young professionals commuting to work, retired military, and more can all find their place in the area.
River Oaks has plenty of housing options to satisfy people in every walk of life. There are several subdivisions of modern town houses with attached garages that can be found for anywhere from $250,000 to $450,000. Depending on the community, some even come with a homeowner’s association that has additional amenities like playgrounds or parks. If a single-family home is more your speed, colonials with large yards are rare but can be found for $600,000 to $750,000.
For families moving to River Oaks, your child’s education is in good hands. Of the four elementary schools in the area, River Oaks Elementary boasts a B rating on Niche. Potomac Middle School is just as accomplished with above-average test scores. Most impressive, Potomac High School is recognized as a School of Excellence with its many offered programs, including the Cambridge Centre for the Mathematics and Physical Sciences and the CTA 4-year program where students can earn certifications in Cybersecurity.
While River Oaks is a mostly residential area, people can still find their place in nature with Powells Creek. Just a quick drive out of the neighborhood, Powell’s Landing Park lets residents walk or bike along the sandy trails that follow the stream to the mouth of the creek.
When residents are looking for places to shop, Southbridge Plaza is a great place to go. A Walmart Supercenter can take care of your day-to-day needs, and local restaurants like Wings Ways and Skrimp Shack can keep your hunger at bay. Take a bite of Skrimp Shack’s catfish dinner or sample their shrimp basket and see what all the rave is about. For better grocery options, Aldi and Food Lion are a quick trip across Route 1.
If you’re looking for some weekend fun, travel North about 2.6 miles to Stonebridge Town Center and experience events put on for the Woodbridge and Montclair areas. According to Cindy Cajas, a realtor with Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc., the shopping center has quarterly events that bring the River Oaks community together. Put your cooking skills to the test during the summer chili cook-off and enjoy wintertime festivities such as a Christmas tree lighting and ice-skating rink. “They cater a lot to everyone in the community,” Cajas says.
Gain a sense of belonging in River Oaks, where the community is celebrated and commuters are satisfied with the convenience and cost of living.
