Living in Virginia Run

An overview of Virginia Run, its detached houses and its position at Centreville’s western edge.
Virginia Run is a planned community on the western edge of Centreville in Fairfax County, close to the Loudoun and Prince William county lines. It lies north of Route 29, around Pleasant Valley Road, and all homes carry a Centreville mailing address. The area on this page is approximate. It is drawn around recent sales labeled Virginia Run, and the shape also takes in a few neighboring subdivisions listed as Pleasant Hill, Westport and Weltman Estates. This is a single-product community. All 60 sales in the past 12 months were detached houses, with no townhouses or condominiums. The houses were built mainly in the 1980s and 1990s, and four of the year’s sales were 1970s houses. Many street names borrow from colonial Virginia, such as Martins Hundred Drive, Wetherburn Drive and Eagle Tavern Lane. The homeowners association’s facilities include an outdoor pool, a clubhouse, tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, tot lots and walking paths, and Virginia Run Elementary sits on Martins Hundred Drive inside the community. Bull Run Regional Park, a 1,568-acre park with a large pool, a water park and the start of the Bull Run Occoquan Trail, is a short drive south across Route 29 and Interstate 66. Shopping is not inside Virginia Run. Centreville’s grocery stores, restaurants and services are a few miles east around the Route 28 and Route 29 interchange. There is no Metrorail service in Centreville. Route 29 leads east to Interstate 66 and Route 28, which are the main commuting routes toward Fairfax, Tysons, Dulles and Washington DC. Fairfax Connector buses run from Centreville park-and-ride lots toward the Orange Line’s Vienna/Fairfax-GMU station, which is the nearest rail stop. Most trips from Virginia Run begin by car. I’m glad to review recent Virginia Run sales with you and how lot, model and updates affected each price.

In-Depth Market Analysis

Virginia Run Market Insights

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

Inventory & Absorption

Virginia Run recorded 60 closed sales in the 12 months through September 2026, up from 40 in the prior period. All were detached houses. The median time on market was 6 days, compared with 5 a year earlier. Half again as many homes sold as the year before without marketing times stretching, which indicates that demand kept pace with the additional listings.

Pricing Dynamics

The median sale price was about $1.02 million, up roughly 4.5 percent from $980,000. The median price per square foot was $268, essentially unchanged from $267, so the increase in the median partly reflects the size of the houses that sold. Prices ranged from $610,000 to $1.27 million. Sales averaged about 102 percent of the original list price, up from just under 101 percent.

Buyer Profile

With one product type, demand sorts by size, condition and lot. Of 60 sales, 38 closed at or above the original list price, and the median house sold in 6 days. The highest sale this year was $1.27 million, compared with $1.65 million the year before, so the top of the range was lower even as the median rose.

Strategic Outlook

The direction is steady to modestly upward: the median is higher, the sale-to-list ratio improved and homes are selling in about a week despite more listings. The flat price per square foot is a reminder that gains are measured, not sharp. Pricing against recent sales of similar models remains the practical guide, and results will depend on rates and on how many houses list.

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
