Port Potomac is one of the new communities being developed along the Route 1 corridor between Dale Boulevard and Route 234. It features a very dramatic entry boulevard and wide streets throughout the community. The quote below was taken form the developer’s Port Potomac description.
” The entrance to a community tells you much about the quality of life to be found within. Port Potomac greets you with the classic elegance of formal brick structures and manicured green lawns. The white columns and red brick of the Community Center, framed by a unique water feature are a perfect setting for one of the finest community recreational facilities you can find in Prince William.”

SLUGGING (some erroneously call it hitching a ride which it is) is a result of the need to use HOV lanes on the I-95 as much as possible. Commuters form a line at a designated Slug Stop in Lake Ridge – it is the VDOT Commuter at the Lake Ridge entrance. For example, a driver will pull up headed for the Pentagon, but needs one more passenger to qualify for HOV-3. The first person in line going to the Pentagon will join the others in the car and away they go. It’s free commuting for the slugger and gives the driver availability to HOV lanes on I-95 – win win!!

Woodbridge is a geographic and postal location in Prince William County. Its’ boundaries are determined by 3 ZIP codes – 22191, 22192 and 22193. The Woodbridge area has a population of approximately 90,000 people.In the Commonwealth of Virginia if you live in a county (that’s the vast majority of us) all of your services are provided by the county. That includes schools, public safety, water and sewer, courts, libraries, hospitals etc. The elected officials of the county are Supervisors and one of those folks is the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. The day-to-day business of managing county agencies falls to the County Executive who serves at the pleasure of the Board of Supervisors. This is also true of the police chief, fire chief, and school superintendent. The sheriff is elected as is the clerk of court. Therefore, you only pay one tax – your real estate tax. You do pay a water and sewer bill since that is a function of your personal usage.
