Established Herndon Home with a Rare Low-Cost HOA

1261 Wilshire Drive offers a straightforward entry into Herndon homeownership: a three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath single-family home on a private lot within the Chandon neighborhood. Built in 1973, the home reflects the measured, established character of one of Herndon’s longer-tenured residential communities.

The monthly HOA fee of $46 is notably low for a governed community in Northern Virginia, providing neighborhood standard oversight without the carrying cost burden common to newer HOA developments. For buyers weighing total monthly cost of ownership, that figure is worth attention.

Chandon sits within the broader Herndon submarket, a town that has grown steadily alongside the Dulles Corridor. Access to Route 7, the Dulles Toll Road, and the broader Fairfax County road network makes the location practical for commuters and those who rely on Northern Virginia’s employment centers.

At $330,000, this home represents one of the more accessible price points for detached single-family ownership in Fairfax County, a market where that combination of property type and price is increasingly uncommon.

The Property
1261 Wilshire Drive is a three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath single-family home in Herndon’s Chandon neighborhood. Built in 1973, it occupies a private lot with outdoor space and sits within a community governed by a homeowners association. The home is offered at $330,000.
HOA Structure
The monthly HOA fee of $46 is among the lowest in the surrounding submarket for a governed single-family community. That figure matters for buyers calculating total carrying costs, particularly in a Fairfax County market where HOA fees for comparable communities often run significantly higher.
Neighborhood Context
Chandon is an established Herndon neighborhood with mature landscaping and a settled residential character. The surrounding area provides access to the Dulles Corridor’s employment base, retail corridors, and regional transit infrastructure, including proximity to the Silver Line.
Market Position
At $330,000, detached single-family ownership in Fairfax County at this price point is rare. Buyers seeking an accessible entry into the Northern Virginia market with low ongoing HOA costs will find few comparable options at this combination of price, property type, and location.

Why This Home Stands Out

  • Detached single-family home in Fairfax County
  • Priced at $330,000
  • $46 monthly HOA — among lowest in submarket
  • Established 1973 construction with mature lot
  • Chandon neighborhood with governed standards
  • Proximity to Dulles Corridor employment centers
