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:
-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:
“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. 
If you haven’t seen it yet, swing by and take a look. The model is still open, and it it is gorgeous – full of open space, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and so many more amazing features.

Craftsman homes have an emphasis on natural materials — wood, stone, and brick. They tend to boast wide front porches. The interior has an open floor plan with features like built-in furniture, big fireplaces and exposed beams.
This style is reflective of “today’s modern”, with an emphasis on connecting the indoors with the outdoors. Contemporary homes tend to have an emphasis on energy efficiency, can be made from sustainable materials, and generally have lots of natural light throughout the home.
Reminiscent of the 1600’s, there are many variations of the Colonial style home due to the diversity of the early American settlers. Homes can be known for their symmetry, and are most often characterized by evenly spaced shuttered windows. Dormers, columns, and chimneys can also be evenly proportioned to complement its formal style.
The most common type of Colonial home is “Georgian” and it is much simpler in architecture. Like all Colonial styles, Georgian focuses on rigid symmetry. It is most often a box shape and is adorned with windows, which are typically five across, with shutters. They often have paneled front doors below a decorative portico.
The Prairie style was built based on the idea that a home should serve all practical needs and reflect simplicity. The Arts and Crafts Movement was very influential to its design and can feature many of the same concepts, such as built-in furniture, simple materials, and open floor plans. This home may also feature a long flat roof, rows of windows, horizontal lines, and organic patterns.
Also referred to as “Condos”, they are generally built like an apartment with many units in one building. In our area it refers to ownership of the property. Brambleton actually has townhome styled condos as well.
