Broadlands VA Homes For Sale

Broadlands is an expansive 1,500 acre, master planned, development that also happens to be a City, Broadlands, VA with its own zip code: 20148. Originally, the zip code 20148 was considered Ashburn, VA and to date some Ashburn Homes are also in zip code 20148. Broadlands was magnificently developed by the late, quintessential, Renaissance man, Al Van Metre, truly a legendary builder, developer, avid yachtsman, and philanthropist. Mr. Van Metre was known to walk each one of his homes before delivery an extraordinary accomplishment considering Van Metre Companies built over 15,000 homes in the Greater Washington Metropolitan Area.

Our Associate Broker, Rick Saunders, of Lord and Saunders Real Estate, Inc. was fortunate to have had the privilege one day of meeting and shaking hands with Al Van Metre as Al was walking thru one of Rick’s Buyer’s homes. At the time, Rick simply took the meeting in stride as Rick had seen Al previously walking thru other homes. Today, Rick cherishes that moment he spent with a Northern Virginian living legend. Al Van Metre was a native to the Washington Metropolitan Area, Al was born in Washington, D.C. in 1926 but resided in Arlington, VA where Rick Saunders was born and raised.

The Broadlands Development is one of the most picturesque, master planned, communities in Northern Virginia. Broadlands offer its residents 3 pools, 9 tennis courts, playgrounds, trails, and world-class shopping and newly constructed and beautifully designed and built nearby offices. The renowned Clydes Willow Creek and One Loudoun are close by also. As great as these amenities are, Al Van Metre secured the very best for Broadlands residents offering them the highly desirable commuting benefit of an immediate entrance and exit off of the Dulles Greenway which provides direct access to Dulles Airport and Washington, D.C.
