Established Herndon Home with Community Amenities

The home at 1261 Wilshire Dr represents a straightforward entry point into Herndon’s owner-occupied single-family market. Built in 1973, the three-bedroom layout sits within a neighborhood that has matured alongside the broader Reston-Herndon corridor, offering the stability of an established street grid and a low monthly HOA of $39.

Herndon occupies a strategic position in Northern Virginia’s technology and professional services corridor. The town sits between Reston and Dulles, with the Silver Line’s Herndon Metro station providing rail access to Tysons, Rosslyn, and downtown DC. The Dulles Toll Road and Route 7 further extend commute options across the region.

The HOA covers community pool access and common area maintenance, amenities that add seasonal value without significant carrying cost. At a $39 monthly fee, the association represents one of the more affordable HOA structures in the Fairfax County submarket.

A Wardman team member represented the buyer in this transaction, bringing knowledge of the Northern Virginia single-family market to the advisory process. The Wardman Residential team at Compass works across the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region, with consistent activity in Fairfax County’s established suburban neighborhoods.

The Property
The home at 1261 Wilshire Dr is a three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath single-family residence built in 1973. The property carries a $39 monthly HOA that covers community pool access and common area maintenance, keeping carrying costs predictable for the owner.
Herndon’s Position
Herndon sits at the intersection of the Dulles corridor and the Silver Line rail network, positioning residents within reach of major Northern Virginia employment centers. The town’s established street patterns and proximity to Reston give the area a settled character uncommon in newer suburban developments.
HOA Structure
The HOA fee of $39 per month is notably low for Fairfax County, and the included pool access adds a meaningful seasonal amenity. Buyers in this price range rarely encounter community pool access at this carrying cost, making the structure worth noting.

A Wardman team member guided the buyer through this acquisition, drawing on the team’s experience across Northern Virginia’s single-family submarkets. Wardman Residential at Compass maintains active coverage of Fairfax County neighborhoods, from Herndon and Reston to the broader I-267 corridor.
