A Woodbridge commuter community just east of Interstate 95

When Interstate 95 was expanding toward Washington, D.C., in the 1960s, developers built Marumsco Hills just east of the highway as part of Northern Virginia’s housing boom. Today, the Woodbridge neighborhood's rolling terrain is filled with midcentury houses, early 2000s apartment complexes and numerous public schools. And commuter access is still a major draw. “It can take less than 2 hours to get to D.C from here, whether you drive or take the train,” says Candace Noel, an associate broker with Samson Properties, who has sold several homes in the area. “There’s a diverse housing stock and tons of shopping; it’s a classic commuter neighborhood.” Locals can drive to Potomac Mills, Prince William County’s largest outlet mall, or park in one of the 10 commuter lots, all just west of the neighborhood.

Marumsco Hills has single-family houses, townhouses and apartments

Weeds peek through the cracks of Marumsco Hills’ sidewalks, which are lined with single-family homes built between the 1960s and ‘70s. Vinyl-façade minimal traditional houses sit on 10,000-square-foot lots, often shaded by an American sycamore tree. Cracked concrete driveways run alongside the homes, many of which are four-bedroom split-foyers. The neighborhood also has a few condo complexes and Colonial Revival-style townhouses from the late ‘90s and early 2000s, mainly around Prince William Parkway. Single-family homes here can cost between $450,000 and $550,000, while condos and townhouses can cost between $300,000 and $400,000. Nearly half of the neighborhood is renters, with several mid-rise apartment complexes in the area.

Kids walk to school in Marumsco Hills

The neighborhood follows a few different Prince William County Public School pipelines, which Noel says makes for a convenient location. “There are quite a few elementary and middle schools right in the neighborhood, so this is a great area if you want your kids to walk or bike to school every day,” she says. Students south of Prince William Parkway can attend Marumsco Hills Elementary School or Vaughan Elementary School, both earning C-plus grades from Niche. They may continue to B-rated Woodbridge Middle School and C-plus-rated Freedom High School, where Advanced Placement classes include human geography and Spanish. Students north of the Prince William Parkway are zoned for Kilby Elementary School and Fred M. Lynn Middle School, both earning a C-plus. They may continue to A-minus-rated Woodbridge High School, which offers specialty programs in cosmetology and aviation maintenance.

Washington D.C. is easily accessible by car or train

Over 3,000 parking spots are less than 2 miles away in the commuter lots just west of I-95. Locals can hop in a vanpool, driving north on I-95 for 25 miles to reach Washington D.C. “I-95 has HOV lanes,” says Noel. “Parking in one of those commuter lots and driving on that lane can sometimes shave like 20 to 30 minutes off a commute time.” The Woodbridge train station, 2 miles east of the neighborhood, follows Amtrak’s Northeast Regional line, taking passengers to Union Station in about an hour. Virginia Railway Express’s Fredericksburg line also runs here, reaching the same place in about an hour and a half. Several OmniRide bus stops are in the commuter lot and along U.S. Route 1, just east of the neighborhood. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is less than 25 miles northeast, and Dulles International Airport is 30 miles northwest. Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center has an emergency room and a vascular center in a red-brick building on the neighborhood’s southwestern corner. The 183-bed hospital is one of the largest employers in Prince William County, providing over 1,000 jobs across its several campuses.

Grocery stores and chain restaurants surround Potomac Mills

Skylights shine over cream and brown-tiled floors at one-story Potomac Mills, which has over 200 outlet stores like Nike, Nordstrom Rack and Bloomingdale’s. Locals can catch the latest blockbusters at AMC or bowl a strike down neon-lit alleys at Round1, which also has an arcade and billiards room. Stand-alone stores, including Target and Ikea, and a few restaurants surround the mall’s parking lot. Red leather booths, dart boards and flat-screen TVs fill The Bungalow Alehouse, a sports bar with weekly trivia nights and regular watch UFC parties. While the restaurant is locally owned, Noel says that’s rare for the area. “Woodbridge doesn’t have a big local food scene. The Cheesecake Factory and the Chili’s are kind of the places to be on the weekend.” Other chain restaurants near the mall include beach-themed Bahama Breeze and the retro-style Silver Diner, complete with jukeboxes and neon signs.

Churches in Marumsco Hills

The neighborhood is home to three churches, including the Woodbridge Church of Christ, which has been its red-brick, contemporary-style building on Surrey Drive since 1963. Woodbridge Church of The Brethren’s white steeple towers over Millwood Drive, and rainbow-colored stained glass adorns the front of One Mind Church across the street.

Walkability to pocket parks and hiking around the nearby Occoquan River

Locals can walk to a few small green spaces in the neighborhood, including Lancaster Park, where blue and green playgrounds and swing sets sit atop wood chips. White lounge chairs surround the public swimming pool at Hammill Mill Park, which also has a basketball court. Veterans Memorial Park is a youth sports hub 4 miles east of the neighborhood. Woodbridge Little League plays on its five baseball diamonds throughout the summer, and skateboarders glide down the half pipe at the skate park. Adjacent to Veterans Memorial is the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge, a 580-acre peninsula on the Occoquan River. Eastern gamagrass surrounds gravel hiking trails here, and anglers can stop under wooden pavilions to catch striped bass and catfish.
