Belmont Bay is a walker's paradise.
A waterfront community with walkability to the Woodbridge train station
Belmont Bay and its namesake neighborhood blend planned community conveniences with a natural setting near the joining of the Occoquan and Potomac rivers. Once home to a golf course before it closed in 2015, the neighborhood now features the hint of an old fairway under a hilly landscape of unkempt bentgrass and overgrown eastern white pine trees — and the former golf cart path is now a walking trail leading to Veterans Memorial Park and the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge. According to Candace Noel, an associate broker with Samson Properties who has sold several homes in the area, this walkability and proximity to the Woodbridge train station attracts homebuyers. “This is a commuter's paradise,” she says. “People bike and walk to the Woodbridge train station because it’s literally right in the neighborhood. They don’t have to stress about finding a parking spot outside the station.” Locals can also easily access the Belmont Bay Marina and the neighborhood’s private swimming pool and tennis courts, while the former golf course has become a pleasant green space along the walking trail where kids can play.
Split level homes are popular in Belmont Bay.
Midcentury single families and newer multi-families on Belmont Bay
Sidewalks and single-family homes built in the 1950s and ‘60s line Belmont Bay’s winding roads. Red-brick and vinyl-façade split levels sit on large lots, often 9,000 square feet, shaded by American sycamore trees. Concrete driveways leading to carports run alongside three-bedroom ranch styles, typically painted in shades of white and beige. Most single-family houses here cost between $400,000 and $500,000, a range similar to a Woodbridge home’s average $500,000 selling price. A few New Traditional homes from the late ‘90s back up to the bay, but Noel says multi-families offer the most waterfrontage. “There was a surge of condo and townhouse development on the water in the early 2000s,” she says. “Those properties are still flying off the shelf today because that’s really the closest to the water you can get.” Black vintage lampposts and ornamental shrubs dot red-brick sidewalks here, including in front of Colonial Revival and Federal-style townhouses, costing between $615,000 and $750,000. The River Club at Belmont Bay has mid-rise, Georgian Revival-style complexes with two-bedroom units starting at $430,000, while the high-rise Harborview complex has units selling for around $700,000. Acclaim at Belmont Bay is a 62-and-up apartment complex on Clear Lake Circle.
Belmont Bay is filled with walking trails for residents to enjoy.
Belmont Bay’s trail connects to Veterans Memorial Park and a wildlife refuge
The neighborhood’s mile-long former golf cart path is a part of the 900-mile Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail, stretching from Maryland to western Pennsylvania. Within Belmont Bay, the asphalt path leads to the 100-acre Veterans Memorial Park. Every summer, the crack of baseball bats fills the air during Woodbridge Little League games at the five-diamond baseball complex. Kids jump off diving boards into the public swimming pool behind the community center, which hosts regular youth piano classes and basketball clinics. The trail also connects to the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge on the neighborhood’s southern end. Starting in the 1950s, the 580-acre peninsula was the location of a Harry Diamond Laboratories research facility, where military officials tested bomb detonators. When military housing, transmission towers and office buildings were torn down in the ‘90s, the land became a popular hiking and fishing spot. Today, locals can trek gravel paths stretching across eastern gamagrass fields, stopping under wooden pavilions to fish for striped bass and catfish.
The Woodbridge Train Station is located within Belmont Bay.
Several ways to get to Washington D.C.
The Georgian Revival-style Woodbridge train station on Express Way has two tracks. It’s served by the Amtrak’s Northeast Regional line, taking passengers to Union Station in about an hour. Virginia Railway Express’s Fredericksburg line also runs here, reaching the same place in about an hour and a half. The neighborhood is also convenient for drivers. U.S. Route 1 connects to Interstate 95, making Washington D.C. about a 25-mile drive north. OmniRide bus stops are also along U.S. Route 1. Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center is the closest hospital, just 4 miles southwest of the neighborhood, and the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is 20 miles north.
Freedom High School provides quality education to students living in Belmont Bay.
Prince William County Public Schools and a GMU science center
Children can attend Belmont Elementary School, Fred M. Lynn Middle School and Freedom High School, all earning C-plus grades from Niche. The high school offers specialty programs in medical coding and billing, and environmental and natural sciences. On Mason Ferry Avenue, George Mason University operates The Potomac Science Center, a 50,000-square-foot contemporary-style research facility with lecture rooms, labs and a library.
Belmont Bay is situated along the Occoquan River.
Locals store boats at Belmont Bay Marina
Sailboats and center console boats fill the 158 slips made of Brazilian walnut wood at the Belmont Bay Marina, which opened in 2001. As the first marina at the mouth of the Occoquan River, slip holders can easily reach the Potomac River, following the waterway north to get to Washington D.C. or south to hit the Chesapeake Bay. Depending on boat size, annual slip rates run from $4,260 to $7,100. Despite the marina’s location in the neighborhood, Noel says not every resident owns a boat. “Boat storage is the reason some people move to the bay, but it’s definitely not the neighborhood’s defining factor,” she says. “I actually know a lot of people outside the neighborhood who keep boats here, so it’s not exclusive to residents.”
Residents of Belmont Bay can get their groceries at Todo's.
Belmont Bay has a boat-up restaurant and big-box shopping convenience
Locals can dock their boats outside The Harbour Grille, where linen covers tables inside and string lights stretch across patio seating overlooking the Occoquan Harbour Marina. Brown leather couches fill The Spot at Belmont Bay, a coffee shop and wine bar tucked underneath a condo building. Fast-food restaurants and shopping strips with stores like Food Lion and Aldi sit along U.S. Route 1. Potomac Mills, just 5 miles west of the neighborhood, has over 200 outlet retailers like Nike, Bloomingdale’s and Gap. Auto repair shops, construction supply facilities and other industrial buildings are also in the neighborhood, mainly along Dawson Beach Road.
A summer concert series under the marina pavilion
Homeowners with property built after 1990 must pay a Belmont Bay HOA fee, which Noel says varies greatly. “There’s not one set amount. The fee depends on whether you own single-family or which multi-family complex you live in, but they all offer the same amenities.” The association provides trash pick-up and snow removal. They also maintain the four rubber tennis courts and swimming pool on Harbor Side Street. Every summer, locals bring lawn chairs and picnic blankets to watch blues bands and country singers perform under the marina’s white pavilion for the Belmont Bay HOA Summer Concerts Series.
