Homes from the early twentieth century
Homes in Three Chopt were primarily built in the early 1900s, though new homes are being built to accommodate demand. Colonial Revivals, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes are the most common styles, but bungalows and craftsman-style homes can also be found in the area. The neighborhood’s price range reflects its affluence, with a median price of $611,000. Prices range from $360,000 for a two-bedroom Cape Cod to over $4 million for a six-bedroom Colonial mansion overlooking the Country Club of Virginia’s Westhampton golf course. Home price data show that the median price has increased approximately 11% year over year. “Compared to D.C. and other areas nearby, the prices haven’t escalated as much as other communities,” Wiley says. “Now’s the time to move here because it’s gonna be another Charlotte.”
