Whether You buy a house or horse it should be the best possible “fit” for you

Just as you wouldn’t purchase a horse without expert advice and guidance you should not consider purchasing a home without the assistance of a Realtor®. It makes no difference whether it is new construction or a resale home.

New Construction

As you go through the model home you may well be awed by all the “bells and whistles”. However. some of them may only be available at an additional cost. More importantly, some of them may do little or nothing to increase your enjoyment or the future value of your home. That is when you need the advice of a REALTOR®.

If you tour the site and there are no homes being built it may be impossible to see where your home will be in relation to your neighbors. If you use the services of a REALTOR® he or she will be able to explain the offsets, setbacks and easements that could impact a lot negatively and help you make a wise decision. You certainly want to maximize your use of the lot and also have it be attractive to a buyer when you sell the home.

Resale Homes

As you can imagine resale homes come in a wide range of condition, decor and improvements (or lack of). The only thing certain is their location.

You and your REALTOR® can sit in the office, read the remarks and view the photos (both of which are the work of the listing agent), but the only way to decide which one of them is your choice is to tour the homes.

A professional home inspector will advise you as to a home’s current condition as well as near term and long term requirements. However, it is the REALTOR® who can recommend which changes will impact on the future marketability of the home. Most experienced agents will also be able to give you the names of several reputable, licensed contractors

Conclusion

There is no one more qualified than a REALTOR® to give you information about home values in the area and information about commuting, shopping and recreational resources. Your agent can also direct you to the appropriate resource if you want information about schools and crime statistics.

Lynnwood – Large Homes, Large Lots in Lake Ridge Woodbridge VA

Tuesday, August 28th, 2012

Entry sign to Lynwood section of Lake Ridge

It is not unusual for people to think Lynnwood is a subdivision since the sign at the primary entrance on Old Bridge Road is different than the signs at the entry to the other sections of Lake Ridge. But Lynnwood really is different since it is the only section of Lake ridge with homes sited on lots that are both heavily treed and at least one half acre.  

There were three builders responsible for the majority of the homes

  • Fairfield
  • Calvert
  • Long (our Lynnwood home was built by Long Homes)

The final few homes on Valleywood Drive were built by VanMetre.

 

Edgewood, one of the five Lake Ridge pools is located in Lynnwood

SCHOOLS 

One of the popular features about Lake Ridge is that all schools attended by Lake Ridge children are in Lake Ridge. No elementary school is more than 5 or 6 minutes from the student’s home. In the case of Lynnwood, all three grade level schools are within one or two blocks of the entrance to Lynnwood.Since school boundaries may be altered in the future we have included a link to the public school locator.

COMMUTING

  • Express bus service to the Pentagon and Washington, DC is available within Lake Ridgeand at the entrance to Lake Ridge in the VDOT Commuter Lot
  • Carpools usually meet at the VDOT Commuter Lot at the entrance to Lake Ridge – see Omnimatch for more specific details
  • 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 Line Stop in Lake Ridge- 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!!
  • Train The Virginia Railway Express Woodbridge Stationwith rail service to Springfield, Crystal City and Union Station in Washington, DC is approximately a 20 minute drive from Lake Ridge in the morning rush hour.
  • At Springfield you can switch to Metrorail that gives you access to the entire National Capital Area subway system.
  • Local buses run regulary throughout the Greater Woodbridge area as well as other areas of Prince William County. Lake Ridge is one of the communities served by Omnilink
  • MCB Quantico is less than 30 minutes by car
  • Fort Belvoir is approximately 30 minutes by car
  • Prince William County Commuting VIDEO

LIBRARIES

SHOPPING

  • Tacketts Mill located at the entrance to Lake Ridge was the first of the three centers. In addition to the normal complement of retail stores it includes commercial office space. It’s here you’ll find McDonald’s, Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin Robbins
  • Lake Ridge Commons at Old Bridge Road and Hedges Run Drive is about midway through Lake Ridge. It has our one and only Starbucks
  • Festival at Old Bridge is also on Old Bridge Road near the western end of Lake Ridge at Smoketown Road. It has the Lake Ridge US Post Office Annex
