I get asked a lot about "affordable townhomes" in Northern Virginia.
The smart first question is "Well my friend, what do you consider affordable?" Since that can be quite different from family to family, person to person. Each buyer is unique in their needs and wants with their new home purchase.
My focus is largely in townhomes in the Fairfax County Parkway corridor of Northern Virginia from Centreville east to Lorton. I live in West Springfield and talk about Burke VA a lot too.
As a thought exercise let's say you're looking to purchase a town house in NOVA and want to spend $300,000 or less. Here's an idea of what your options would look like right now:
As you can see there are a few options in the Springfield/Burke area, but not many. You'd have MUCH more choice in your new home if you chose to consider Centreville in your search.
But let's say that Burke is where you want to end up - an increase in your price opens up many more options in Burke.
