Suburban feel close to nature, convenient shopping and Route 66
Sandwiched between Bull Run and Manassas Park in Prince William County, Sudley is a census-designated place that is home to just under 200,000. The winding Bull Run and Flat Branch creeks carve out the suburb’s boundaries to the north and south, while a slew of shopping centers along Sudley Road frame the enclave to the west. The balance of nature and conveniences, paired with its location just south of Interstate 66, make Sudley a sought-after hamlet in Northern Virginia. “Sudley offers a residential feel close to shopping and with good proximity to Interstate 66,” says local Realtor Mary Ann Bendinelli of Weichert Realtors. “You have a mix of townhomes and single-family houses, and you’re close to everything from grocery stores to Home Depot.”
Homes with backyard pools and vibrant gardens are found throughout Sudley.

Local parks and the SplashDown Waterpark
Pocket parks scattered around the residential areas of Sudley include Emerald Drive Playground, the Stonington Community Playground and Fairmount Park. These offer a green respite for dogs and children, and most feature playgrounds. One of the largest attractions in Sudley is the SplashDown Waterpark, Northern Virginia’s largest. The waterpark is open seasonally in the summer and features multiple waterslides, a leisure pool, lazy rivers and a lagoon. “It’s right at the end of the subdivision and it’s well known as a wonderful place for people to come for a day,” Bendinelli says. Bull Run Regional Park takes up much of the space northwest of Sudley, stretching over 1,500 acres. The multi-use facility, situated on a Civil War battle site, offers opportunities for abundant recreation. Camping grounds dot the tract, while shaded hiking trails snake through the park’s dense woods. Creeks and small lakes provide scenic water views and the tract’s multiple sporting fields allow locals to stretch their legs. The regional park also hosts many of the community’s largest events, including the Festival of Lights during the winter holidays, which draws crowds that drive through 2.5 miles of illuminated light displays.
