2015 Year in Review: Brambleton Community

JS Realty Year

A reflection of the Brambleton Community over the past year and a look at what the future holds

As 2015 came to a close, we started looking ahead at what the new year of 2016 would bring. In doing so, we reflected on the Brambleton neighborhood and all of its accomplishments during the past 12 months. We were fortunate to speak with Stephanie Lee from the Brambleton Community to get her thoughts on how the year went.

Lee’s top 3 highlights were:

JS Realty Bram Brew Fest 2015-Launching the new Brambleton TV Merchant Series
-Hosting the Inaugural Brambleton BrewFest
-Launching a new mobile-friendly website

 

She went on to recognize some other great achievements:

JS Realty BEAM IREM Year“We were also very proud of those Town Center tenants who won awards, including Natalie Perkins of Bella Ballerina and Dr. Costa of Costa Family Dentistry who were recognized in Leesburg Today’s 40 Under 40. Under the property management of the Rappaport Company, the Brambleton Town Center was honored with the Institute of Real Estate Management’s BEAM Award (Building Excellence and Achievement in Management).”

The Real Estate market in Brambleton stayed very strong this past year! Based on what is listed in the MLS system, there were over 351 homes sold from between January 1 – December 31, 2015. The highest price home sold for $890K, and it was the Van Metre Homes “Portsmouth” model home off Gentle Falls Drives.
