Where We Live - Stuart Mill

Stuart Mill Road curves it’s way through what was once entirely farmland and is now serene residential homesteads. This neighborhood toes the line between far enough from DC to be truly quiet while still close enough to have access to activities and transportation.

This neighborhood has been built up over the years. Some of these homes date back earlier than the first World War and 11 have been built since the turn of the century. As most of the neighborhoods don’t have Homeowners Associations, the houses come in various styles, primarily consisting of colonials and ramblers. The more recent homes built in the area have an estately feel, many of them very large and seated on 5+ acre lots. In fact, lots with fewer than an acre are in the vast minority.

Stuart Mill Road touches two parks, Difficult Run Stream Valley Park and Fred Crabtree Park. It’s common that you’ll find horses in either park and plenty of unpaved trails. Both places have some amazing scenery and are great ways to spend time forest bathing!

This neighborhood sits near the westernmost border of Fairfax County that provides countless benefits to residents and visitors. The area enjoys close proximity to shops, restaurants and attractions in Reston,Oakton, and Vienna. Most, including Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in Vienna, are just a short drive away. The Weihle Ave metro is only a few miles away and the Reston Town Center metro opening next year will be as easy to access. This area has an Oakton address but borders equally between shopping, restaurants and nightlife of Reston as it does Maple Avenue in Vienna.
