Living in Lansdowne

An overview of Lansdowne’s communities, housing types, amenities and commute, and what distinguishes each section.
Lansdowne is a planned community in eastern Loudoun County, about five miles southeast of Leesburg, set between Route 7 and the Potomac River. Homes carry a Leesburg mailing address, though Ashburn begins just across Route 7. Goose Creek runs through the northwestern part of the community on its way to the Potomac, and Belmont Ridge Road and Riverside Parkway are the main internal roads. The housing was built mostly in the 2000s and falls into three groups. Lansdowne on the Potomac is the largest association, with more than 2,200 detached houses, townhouses and some condominiums. The homes around Lansdowne Town Center add townhouses and condominiums within walking distance of shops. Lansdowne also includes an age-restricted community, Lansdowne Woods, a gated campus of high-rise and low-rise condominium buildings. Over the past year, sales were split among townhouses, condominiums and detached houses in roughly similar numbers. Lansdowne Town Center, at Belmont Ridge Road and Route 7, is the everyday retail hub, with a grocery store, restaurants and services. Lansdowne Resort and its golf courses occupy the land toward the river, and Inova Loudoun Hospital sits along Riverside Parkway. Elizabeth Mills Riverfront Park lines the Potomac at the northern edge, and a section of the Potomac Heritage Trail passes through. Route 7 is the commuting spine, running east to Sterling and Tysons and west to Leesburg, and Belmont Ridge Road leads south through Ashburn toward the Dulles Greenway. There is no Metrorail station in Lansdowne; Ashburn station on the Silver Line is the closest and is reached by car. Loudoun County Transit also operates commuter buses to Washington DC from the Leesburg Park and Ride. Choosing within Lansdowne usually means deciding among very different products, from a high-rise condominium to a large detached house on a golf-course street, each with its own association and fees. I’m glad to walk you through the communities, their recent sales and the listings expected next.

Key Highlights:

  • Housing character — 2000s detached houses, townhouses and elevator condominium buildings across several associations
  • Green space — Elizabeth Mills Riverfront Park, the Potomac Heritage Trail, Goose Creek and golf course open space
  • Daily essentials — Lansdowne Town Center for groceries, dining and services; Inova Loudoun Hospital on Riverside Parkway
  • Transit — car-oriented; Ashburn station on the Silver Line is the nearest Metrorail, with Route 7 as the main road

In-Depth Market Analysis

Lansdowne Market Insights

How pricing trends, absorption rates, and inventory levels are shaping buying and selling

Inventory & Absorption

Nearly 200 homes closed in Lansdowne over the past 12 months, almost identical to the year before. Townhouses led with 75 sales, followed by 63 condominiums and 59 detached houses. Detached sales rose from 46 the prior year while condominium sales fell from 79, which shifted the mix toward higher-priced homes. Most of the housing dates from the 2000s, and a few recent townhouse and condominium communities add newer product.

Pricing Dynamics

The median sale price was about $780,000, up nearly 7 percent from the prior 12 months, a change that partly reflects more detached sales and fewer condominium sales. Detached houses had a median near $1.325 million, with a top sale of $3.6 million. Townhouses had a median of about $785,000, below the prior year’s $825,000, and condominiums about $390,000, down from $435,000. The median price per square foot was about $281.

Buyer Profile

Detached houses drew the firmest demand, selling in a median of six days at about 99 percent of original list price. Townhouses followed at nine days and close to full price. Condominiums took a median of about three weeks and sold near 97 percent of original list price, so pricing and condition matter more in that segment. About half of all sales closed at or above the original list price.

Strategic Outlook

The headline median rose, but segment medians were mixed: detached prices edged up while townhouse and condominium medians came in lower than a year earlier. Marketing time held steady at about 10 days overall. That suggests continued demand for detached houses and a more price-sensitive market for attached homes and condominiums. Mortgage rates and the pace of new listings will influence how those trends continue.

Market Position Overview:

Inventory Level: Balanced with selective competition

Negotiation Environment: Moderate flexibility

Typical Days on Market: 25-45 (well-priced units)

Rental Demand: Consistent due to transit proximity

Long- Term Outlook: Stable, walkability-driven value

Lansdowne Housing & Architecture

Lansdowne’s housing spans high-rise condominiums, town-center flats, townhouses and large detached houses, organized under several separate associations.
Lansdowne on the Potomac
The largest association in Lansdowne, with more than 2,200 homes built mostly in the 2000s. It includes detached houses, townhouses and condominiums, and its subdivision name appears on more recent sales than any other.
Detached Houses
Detached houses in Lansdowne are large 2000s homes, many near the golf courses or wooded stream valleys. They sold for a median near $1.325 million over the past year, with a range from $930,000 to $3.6 million.
Townhouses
Three- and four-level townhouses are the most frequently sold home type, with a median of about $785,000. End units and interior units sold in nearly equal numbers, and most have attached garages.
Lansdowne Town Center Homes
Townhouses and condominiums surround Lansdowne Town Center between Riverside Parkway and Route 7. Their main feature is the short walk to groceries, restaurants and services, with smaller lots and less private outdoor space as the trade-off.
High-Rise Condominium Buildings
The tallest buildings in Lansdowne are the 12-story condominium towers of Lansdowne Woods, on Cypress Ridge Terrace and Magnolia Grove Square, alongside lower elevator buildings. This gated campus supplied a large share of the past year’s condominium sales.
Newer Attached Communities
A small number of townhouses and condominiums built in the 2010s and 2020s have sold in Lansdowne, and Cadence at Lansdowne is one of the newer community names in recent sales records. They offer newer construction than the 2000s core.
