The Signature at Broadlands

Independent Assessment

The Signature at Broadlands combines a genuinely small, intimate resident community (just 45 units) with the amenity depth of the much larger Broadlands master plan around it — a combination that larger stand-alone 55+ campuses can't offer. The tradeoff is that buyers are paying into two layers of association dues (the Signature's own condo fee and the broader Broadlands assessment), and neither figure could be confirmed independently, so total carrying cost needs direct verification.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want a small, easy-to-navigate condo association and full condo-standard exterior maintenance, but still want access to a large master-planned community's parks, trails, and retail corridor, are the best fit for the Signature at Broadlands.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Van Metre Homes built the Signature at Broadlands as a 45-unit condominium community across two four-story elevator buildings within the Broadlands master plan. Construction is complete; all current availability is resale.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Reported pricing runs roughly $450K to $700K, reflecting the community's condo product type and Ashburn location. Buyers should request current comparable sales directly from a local agent given the small size of the association and correspondingly thin resale data.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

The Signature at Broadlands is fully built out; every current purchase is a resale. As with any condo purchase, lenders will review HOA financials, reserve fund status, and owner-occupancy ratio as part of mortgage approval — buyers should request these documents early in the process given the small size of the association.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes here are subject to Loudoun County real estate tax; buyers should confirm the current rate and a specific unit's assessed value directly with Loudoun County, and should ask both associations (Signature and Broadlands master community) about reserve fund status.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

With just 45 units in two buildings, the Signature at Broadlands has a genuinely small-scale, low-turnover feel — residents are more likely to know each other than in a several-hundred-home community — while still being minutes from Broadlands' Southern Walk Plaza retail center (Harris Teeter, Walgreens, and other shops and restaurants).

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

The Signature at Broadlands is in the Broadlands section of Ashburn, Loudoun County, less than a mile from Southern Walk Plaza and under two miles from a Lidl grocery store and post office. It is roughly 30 miles from downtown Washington, D.C.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

The Signature at Broadlands is marketed by Van Metre Homes as part of its dedicated Active Adult (55+) product line and is consistently listed as a 55+ community by independent directories. Recorded HOPA certification documentation remains unconfirmed; buyers should confirm current certification and occupancy compliance directly with the HOA prior to purchase.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

At only 45 units, resale inventory is inherently limited, and buyers should expect to pay both a Signature-specific condo fee and a Broadlands master-community assessment — neither figure could be confirmed, so total monthly costs need to be resolved directly with the HOA before an offer. There is no on-site golf course and no dedicated 55+ clubhouse of the Signature's own; residents share Broadlands' general-population amenities.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

The Signature at Broadlands is frequently compared with the Villages at Broadlands, its sister 55+ community within the same master plan. The Villages includes detached single-family options and is somewhat larger; the Signature is condo-only and smaller in scale, generally appealing to buyers who specifically want the lowest-maintenance product and the most intimate community size.

How is the Signature at Broadlands different from the Villages at Broadlands?

Both are 55+ communities within the larger Broadlands master plan and share access to its amenities, but the Signature is condo-only across two buildings (45 units), while the Villages is a somewhat larger community that also includes detached single-family and villa options.

Do residents pay one HOA fee or two?

Likely two — a fee for the Signature's own condo association and a separate assessment for the broader Broadlands master community. Confirm both amounts and what each covers directly with the HOA.

Is there a clubhouse specific to the Signature?

The Signature has its own rooftop terrace and tennis courts, but residents rely on the broader Broadlands master community for pools, trails, and its nature preserve rather than a dedicated 55+-only clubhouse.

Is it still selling new construction?

No. The Signature at Broadlands is fully built out; all current availability is resale.
