An HOA community in Loudoun County

Named for its canopy of maple trees, Sugarland Run brims with outdoor activity and offers proximity to green spaces on the Potomac River. About 26 miles of HOA-maintained trails stretch across this Loudoun County community, allowing locals to walk to playgrounds, a pool and highly rated public schools. And it’s this suburban atmosphere that has attracted Sugarland Run’s 12,000 residents. “It’s a family-oriented area,” says Farida Saafi, a former resident who's a Realtor with K Realty. “The schools are highly rated, and there’s just a lot of stuff for kids to do because of the HOA. There’s even a community swim team.” Washington, D.C., commuters also have easy access to state Route 7 and the Herndon Metro station.

Houses here typically sell after 15 days on the market, which is faster than the national average. Heavy rainfall may cause the community’s Potomac River tributaries to overflow, but flood insurance is not mandatory here.

HOA recreation spaces and proximity to Algonkian Regional Park

There are monthly HOA fees here. They vary for detached homes and townhouses, though none exceed $80.The fees help maintain community recreation spaces, like the trail network stretching behind homes and through forestland. The local youth swim team, dubbed the Sugarland Run Dolphins, practices at the community pool. The community center is available for rent, and it hosts monthly HOA meetings and breakfast with Santa in December. A number of playgrounds are in the area, and Willow Lake is a popular fishing and kayaking spot.

Several green spaces on the Potomac River are less than 5 miles north of Sugarland Run. For instance, the Trump National Golf Club has two 18-hole courses, a tennis complex and a swimming pool. A public 18-hole golf course is available at the 838-acre Algonkian Regional Park, where locals will also find a boat launch and the Volcano Island Waterpark. Saafi says runners frequent the park's forested trails. “Every time I’ve gone, I’ve seen a high school cross country team or a local running club.” South of the park, Potomack Lakes Sportsplex has baseball diamonds and soccer fields used by youth and adult leagues.
