Rural meets suburban living
Once farmland home to dairy and cattle operations, Nokesville is now a rural northern Virginia community offering a country estate lifestyle on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. The Nokesville community was established in 1865 as a stop on what was then the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. Over the generations, the pastoral land was the site of Civil War battles and the cradle of the religious organization known as the Church of the Brethren. The area’s importance as a railroad hub waned in the 20th century, and it remained predominantly rural until encroaching development from the nation’s capital inevitably reached its borders. However, Nokesville has retained much of its countryside character, with low-density buildings that provide a refuge from the metropolitan area.
Housing stock is dominated by farmhouses and single-family homes
Houses in Nokesville are typically detached single-family dwellings. Most were built in the early 20th century, but some historical 19th-century Tidewater houses still dot the neighborhood. Well-planned subdivisions with newer construction in colonial and traditional housing styles often feature large lots of at least an acre with manicured front lawns and uncluttered scenic views. There are also several renovated farmhouses and craftsman homes in the area. Housing costs run between $466,00 and $1.8 million, and average lots are about 208,000 square feet. “People want a little bit of land. They want an acre where kids can run and play or have chickens,” says Samson Properties’ Kerri Griffiths Ralston. She has sold Northern Virginia properties for 6 years and is a lifetime resident of Northern Virginia.

Plenty of commuting options
The Nokesville community is just under 50 miles from Washington, D.C. Commuters can catch the Virginia Railway Express, a commuter rail system, in nearby Manassas or hop in a car and take state routes 28 and 234 to U.S. Route 66 to reach the nation’s capital. Washington Dulles International Airport is less than an hour from the community.
The Rural Crescent rule
The Rural Crescent, the county's Rural Area, is south of Route 234 and west of Route 15 — about 80,000 acres. Not all of this area is Rural Crescent-designated. The Rural Crescent allows one dwelling per 10 acres. However, some plots were developed as small as 1-acre, like the County's Family Subdivision, which allows one-acre residential properties in the Rural Crescent. The rule was established by the Price William County government.
