There’s always something for you to do when you live in Northern Virginia, and the Cardinal neighborhood is no exception. This residential area is primarily single-family homes, but it's still close enough to everything in Dale City that you’ll never feel like you’re missing out.
Cardinal’s Craftsman and Colonial Revival-styled houses range from $600,000 to $800,000, often coming with manicured lawns, attached garages, and a driveway. Price will vary based on the number of bedrooms and the kind of amenities. “We have a lot of options for people trying to get into a home,” says Cindy Cajas, a realtor with Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc. “There are different areas in the neighborhood that can accommodate for more space or more bedrooms if you need it.” For lower pricing, brick and vinyl townhouses can be found in subdivisions throughout the neighborhood. The median price for a two- to three-story townhouse is $425,000, and some will also feature an attached garage.
Families in Cardinal have access to some of the best schools in the Prince William County Public School System. Fannie W. Fitzgerald Elementary is above average in academic progress, and Rippon Middle is a Specialty School for math and science. Potomac High School has a B-minus rating on Niche and is recognized as a School of Excellence for its educational programs that set students up for success in their career development.
While the Cardinal neighborhood itself is mostly residential, residents can enjoy outdoor recreation just up the road at Cloverdale Park, which features a soccer field and horseshoe pits. Cardinal residents will also travel southwest to spend the day at Dolphin Beach, a sandy space along Lake Montclair created for swimming and sunbathing. “It’s very popular in the summertime because of the walking trails and beach access,” Cajas says.
On weekends, some residents will drive 5 miles outside the neighborhood to visit the Dale City Farmers Market, located directly outside the Dale City Center Plaza. Here, they can browse through the 50+ vendors and purchase tomatoes, lettuce and other locally grown produce and meat selections. For everyday products and services, they can head to Ashdale Plaza Shopping Center. La Azteca Latina is a grocery store and butcher shop with international ingredients and ready-to-go food. While there are plenty of chain restaurants in the area, locals enjoy grabbing a bite to eat at Sabor Chicken, known for their pupusas and plantains. For seafood, Vernon & Steve Crabs is a roadside outpost selling steamed crab bushels and pounds of shrimp. Their warm and friendly personalities add to the experience.
