DC just released the master plan for the 180 acre neighborhood around the new $3.7 billion football stadium, and it will completely transform the area.

Here’s what’s coming:

- Up to 6,600 new homes across three districts, with at least 30% affordable
- 1,200 hotel rooms
- 260,000 square feet of retail and commercial space
- 60 acres of parks and recreation space, including a public indoor sports facility
- A push for a full-service grocery store

The project is expected to create 30,000 construction jobs, 2,000 permanent jobs, and generate about $4 billion in new tax revenue.

Parking is still being worked out. The draft plan includes about 8,000 parking spots, far fewer than the 20,000 at the current stadium in Landover. The goal is to rely more on public transit, with plans to expand the Stadium-Armory Metro station to handle the crowds.

This is just the draft plan, so there is still time for public feedback.

The stadium is set to open in 2030, and this development will reshape the neighborhoods around it.

What do you think about the plan?

These are 7 of the best small towns in Northern Virginia where I’d personally buy property as a real estate agent. No particular order.

Clifton – About 30 miles from DC in Fairfax County. You get a small historic downtown, great restaurants, hiking trails, and even a winery. It’s perfect if you want more land and privacy.

Del Ray – In Alexandria near DC and Arlington. Walkable main street, strong community vibe, and a mix of rowhouses, single-family homes, condos, and small multifamily. It’s expensive, but demand stays high.

Old Town Alexandria – One of the best small cities in the country. Historic homes, waterfront dining, coffee shops, and easy access to DC. The lifestyle here is hard to beat.

Middleburg – The heart of Loudoun’s horse and wine country. Rolling hills, luxury estates, charming shops, and vineyards. True countryside living.

Falls Church City – “The Little City” next to Arlington. Great restaurants, bars, and a mix of homes, townhouses, and condos. Prices reflect the prime location.

Occoquan – A historic waterfront town with about 1,000 residents. Local shops, restaurants, and constant community events give it a tight-knit feel.

Leesburg – Beautiful historic downtown, top-rated schools, and close to wine country. About 45 minutes to DC and consistently ranked among the best small towns in America.

There are more great small towns farther out that are even more affordable, so I may need to do a part two.

If I wanted a massive waterfront condo and I didn't mind doing some updating, I would buy this one in Old town alexandria. Listed active for $1,550,000 by Mary Taylor of Corcoran Mcnearney.

This first floor unit at the porto vecchio building is listed for 1.55m and has 2035 square feet

Its a corner residence and has 3 bedrooms 3 full bathrooms, and two private balconies with views of the Potomac river and the birds and wildlife

You also have southeast exposure as well so you get great natural light from sunrise to sunset

The spacious primary suite has its own balcony, great closet space, and bathroom

With 3 bedrooms you could use one as an office or multi purpose room

The unit comes also comes with 2 garage spaces and a storage bin

Now the Porto Vecchio building is on the edge of Old town and is one of the most popular resort style buildings in all of northern virginia.

Theres an outdoor pool overlooking the river, 24 hour front desk, tennis, kayak storage, party rooms, fitness center with a sauna, EV charging, and limo service to DCA and other locations.

As far as comparable sales, the last two similar size 3 bedroom units here sold at 1.6 and 1.55 so it does seem to be priced fairly well obviously its needs some updating so you need to factor that in

But if you’re looking for a low maintenance lifestyle with incredible views in an excellent location send me a message and we can check out this one and any others. Exp Realty www.exprealty.com
