Wellington
Suburban Neighborhood in Gainesville, Virginia
Prince William County 20109, 20110, 20136, 20155
In Wellington, you can spend your weekends listening to music under the stars at Jiffy Lube Live, and have 30 mile commute to Washington, D.C, during the week.
Unlike many more compact communities of Northern Virginia, the neighborhood of Wellington is spread out with lots of wooded or industrial space between communities. In these residential pockets, you’ll mostly find townhomes and some single-family homes. Because it is not densely packed, homes often have midsize yards and back up to wooded areas. “Homes in the neighborhood are older than nearby neighborhoods like Fairfax, but that comes at a lower price point,” says Tracy Chandler, a Realtor who specializes in the area. Most homes are 1980s and ‘90s builds, with a median price of $580,000. For this price, you could get a three-bedroom town house with green space out front and communal amenities such as a playground. For those with a larger budget or looking for a single-family home, you can find a four-bedroom Craftsman or Colonial Revival with more yard space for about $750,000.
Most of Wellington is a part of the Prince William County Public Schools district, with a small chunk of the neighborhood going to Manassas City Schools. “No matter which one, many people come to the neighborhood for the great schools,” says Chandler. Students begin their education at Piney Branch Elementary, which received a B-plus from Niche. They continue to Gainesville Middle School, which Niche graded an A-minus. Students finish at Unity Reed High School, which received a B-minus from Niche. Unity Reed is an IB World School, that incorporates. They also have a career program, which allows students to participate in industry-specialized curriculum, like aviation maintenance and environmental engineering.
There is not a ton of public recreational space in the area because most subdivisions have playgrounds and walking paths throughout the neighborhood. If you’re looking for athletic facilities, consider joining the local Lifetime Athletic. This space requires a membership that comes with all of the normal gym amenities, along with invigorating classes like Gluteous Maxout or Warrior Sculpt, which combines traditional yoga with high-intensity weight training to hone your inner warrior.
There is still plenty of activity to be found in Wellington, and you can’t talk about the area without mentioning Jiffy Lube Live. This 25,000-seat outdoor amphitheater is one of Northern Virginia’s premier concert venues, hosting some of the nation’s biggest artists. Just make the short drive to the west side of the neighborhood, and you can enjoy a warm summer night under the stars singing along with your favorite artist.
Also just a short drive from most homes, Virginia Gateway Shopping Center has plenty of spots to check off your shopping list and grab a bite to eat. Here you’ll find big box stores like Target and Lowes, along with supermarkets like Giant. . You can find local spots here, like Pizza N.Y. Margherita, slinging out New York-style pizza with ingredients imported straight from Italy. There are also recognizable chain restaurants with some more specialized chains, like Tous les Jours, which serves pastries baked fresh every single day
If you are looking to maintain a reasonable commute to D.C. and still have plenty of activity in your neighborhood, Wellington is well worth a look.
