The Villages at Broadlands

Independent Assessment

The Villages at Broadlands offers a relatively rare combination for a Northern Virginia 55+ condo product: garage parking, elevator access, and a reported all-in HOA fee that already bundles a genuinely large shared-amenity network rather than layering a second master-community assessment on top. The tradeoff is scale — at 78 homes, resale inventory is limited, and buyers wanting a detached single-family option will need to look elsewhere in Broadlands or at a different community entirely.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who want condo-level maintenance simplicity, a one-car garage, and full access to a large master-planned community's parks and recreation — without the higher price tag of Ashburn's newer townhome or single-family 55+ products — are the best fit.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Van Metre Homes has developed the Villages at Broadlands since 2013, delivering 78 condominium units across three mid-rise elevator buildings. Construction is essentially complete; current availability is resale.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Recent average pricing is reported around $492K, with a broader cited range of $500K to $800K depending on floor plan and section. Buyers should request current comparable sales directly from a local agent given the relatively small size of the association.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

The Villages at Broadlands is essentially built out; virtually all current availability is resale. As with any condo purchase, lenders will review HOA financials, reserve fund status, and owner-occupancy ratio as part of mortgage approval.

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 the HOA about reserve fund status.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

Homes range from 1,536 to 1,789 square feet across five floor plans, with two to three bedrooms and dens available in select layouts — a step up in space from many condo-only 55+ products, paired with the amenity depth of the larger Broadlands community surrounding it.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

The Villages at Broadlands is in the Broadlands section of Ashburn, Loudoun County, roughly 10 minutes from Dulles International Airport and the Silver Line Metro corridor, with downtown Washington, D.C. about 45 minutes away.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

The Villages 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

The Villages at Broadlands is condo-only (no detached or attached single-family option within this specific community), and at 78 total homes, inventory is limited and can move quickly. There is no on-site golf course, and buyers should confirm whether the reported ~$480/month HOA fee is current and exactly what it includes before relying on it in a budget.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Compared with its sister community the Signature at Broadlands (also Van Metre, also within the Broadlands master plan), the Villages is somewhat larger (78 units versus 45) and offers larger average floor plans with garages, while the Signature is smaller-scale and rooftop-terrace-focused. Compared with Birchwood at Brambleton, a newer and larger Ashburn 55+ community, the Villages is more established and generally more affordable.

What does the HOA fee cover?

It's reported at around $480/month and is described as including access to Broadlands' full amenity package — three outdoor pools, trails, tennis and pickleball courts, and a nature center — though buyers should confirm this figure and its exact coverage directly with the HOA.

Do the homes have garages?

Yes, each unit includes an attached one-car garage, along with elevator access to the mid-rise buildings.

How big are the homes?

Floor plans range from 1,536 to 1,789 square feet, with two to three bedrooms and dens available in some layouts.

Is this the same as the Signature at Broadlands?

No — they're sister 55+ communities within the same Broadlands master plan, both built by Van Metre Homes, but the Villages is somewhat larger with garage parking, while the Signature is a smaller, rooftop-terrace-focused building pair.
