Easy access to public schools and commuter routes in Kerrydale

Wedged between Prince William Parkway and Dale Boulevard, Kerrydale offers a quiet lifestyle amid Dale City’s arterial roads. The neighborhood remains almost entirely residential, aside from a few office buildings to the north and Kerrydale Elementary School at its core. And this peaceful location makes it easy for kids to walk to school, something that’s rare for Dale City. “The only time kids walk to school is when it’s directly in their neighborhood because they don’t have to cross any major streets,” says Beth Grant, a Realtor with Samson Properties who has sold several homes in the area. “Almost all of Dale City is made up of commuters, so the roads are constantly traffic-heavy.” Commuters can make the trip to Washington, D.C., 30 miles north, with nearby routes like Interstate 95 or the Woodbridge train station.

House prices match Prince William County’s average

Homes built throughout the 1970s dot Kerrydale’s winding, sidewalk-lined roads and cul-de-sacs. Bi-level houses sit on 9,000-square-foot lots, often shaded by an American elm tree. Driveways typically run alongside split foyers, and hedges wrap around the front lawns of red brick Cape Cod cottages. Houses may have three-to-four bedrooms. Buying here can cost between $450,000 and $550,000, a range similar to a Prince William County home’s average $550,000 selling price.

Commuting to D.C. may take a few hours

Though kids can walk to school, Kerrydale is a car-dependent community. I-95 is 5 miles east of the neighborhood. D.C. is another 25-mile drive north on the highway, which Grant warns is a traffic-heavy route. “I know people who leave at 6 in the morning just to get to D.C. by 8,” she says. However, there are ways to make the drive shorter. Commuters can park in the Dale City Commuter Lots, 2 miles south on Dale Boulevard, then carpool on I-95’s HOV lanes. “Those lanes can save like 15 to 20 minutes, which feels like a lot when you’re looking at an almost 2-hour drive during rush hour.” Omni Ride bus stops surround the neighborhood on Dale Boulevard and Prince William Parkway. Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center is the closest hospital, less than 5 miles east, and The Woodbridge train station is 7 miles in the same direction. The station follows the Virginia Railway Express’s Fredericksburg Line and Amtrak’s Northeast Regional route, offering rides to D.C.’s Union Station. Dulles International Airport is a 27-mile drive northwest, and the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is just as close to the northeast.

Proximity to Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center and Potomac Mills

A Safeway grocery store anchors the Merchant Plaza shopping center immediately northeast of the neighborhood. Fast-food restaurants like McDonald’s and Chick-fil-A are in the same area. Locals can also enjoy wine tastings and thin-crust pizza at Armetta’s, a small Italian spot on the four-lane Prince William Parkway. A dental clinic and a Prince William County Republican Committee office are along the same street. Grant says locals drive about 4 miles east of the neighborhood to Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center, a mixed-used, outdoor shopping center. “It’s got a really nice Wegmans, an Alamo Drafthouse and a bunch of upscale shopping. It’s one of the nicest shopping centers in the county.” Potted plants and young elm trees adorn Stonebridge’s sidewalks, lined with stores like Apple, REI and Athleta. Potomac Mills is also in the area, offering over 100 outlet stores, from Nike to Bloomingdale’s.

A BMX track and golf course surround the former Potomac Nationals stadium

Less than 3 miles north of the neighborhood, the 6,000-seat Northwest Federal Field at Pfitzner Stadium was once home to the Potomac Nationals, a minor league baseball team affiliated with the Washington Nationals. Though the team relocated to Fredericksburg in 2019, the stadium and its surrounding area still bustle with activity. Prince William County’s main government administration offices sit in front of the stadium, where Little League teams now play tournaments. Farther north, the winding dirt tracks of NOVA BMX host local motocross competitions, and the private Old Hickory Golf Club features an 18-hole course weaving between maple and pine tree forests. Kids can take hockey and figure skating lessons 2 miles west at Prince William Ice Center, which has Olympic-sized and NHL-sized rinks. Grant says locals also drive 8 miles east to Leesylvania State Park. “It’s on the Potomac River, and any park near water is super popular in Dale City.” Anglers can catch largemouth bass from the park’s sandy shoreline, and boaters will find several launches for paddleboats and powerboats on the 500-acre peninsula.
