New homes for sale in Virginia

Active adult is a community type, where the community itself is designed and age-restricted for residents 55 and better. Availability varies, so ask your New Home Consultant which Virginia communities are currently offering active adult homes. Age restrictions apply to the occupants and owners in these communities as permitted under the Fair Housing Act. For some communities that means a designated percentage of the homes must be occupied by at least one person 55 years or older, either 80 percent or 100 percent depending on the community. Amenities, maintenance arrangements and social programming vary from one community to the next. Many of Lennar’s age-restricted communities are part of Lennar Lifestyle, and you can learn more about active adult living.

Lennar groups floorplans into collections, and the collection names differ by community and market. The same name will not always describe the same home in two different places. Each plan lists its square footage, bedroom and bathroom count and layout, and many are offered in more than one community. If you tour a plan you like, ask which other Virginia communities offer it.

Single-family homes are detached, with their own yards and entryways. Townhomes and condominiums are attached homes that typically share walls with adjacent properties and offer modern designs for low maintenance living, and they are common across Northern Virginia. Active adult communities for residents 55 and better are a community type rather than a housing type, and have their own question. Maintenance responsibilities, HOA services and fees vary by community, so check what is covered before you compare monthly costs against a single-family home. Lennar’s guide to what an HOA is explains how the arrangement usually works.

Many Lennar homes in Virginia include today’s most popular features at no extra cost to you. Without upgrade fees. No surprises. That’s what Everything’s Included® means. It can cover countertops, appliances, smart home technology and flooring. Specific features vary by community and homesite; not all features are included in every home. Ask your New Home Consultant for the features list, and see what’s included for the full program details or read how Everything’s Included® delivers more value.

Yes, in three other markets. The Richmond area sits in the center of the state, Williamsburg is further southeast toward the coast and Hampton Roads, and the Charlottesville area is west along the Route 29 corridor near the University of Virginia. What is offered in each differs from VA / D.C. Metro, so compare them separately rather than assuming the same lineup carries across.

Yes. Quick move-in homes are already under construction, and move-in ready homes are finished and available. Both shorten the wait compared with a home built from the ground up. The trade-off is choice, since selections and structural options on these homes are usually already set. What’s available changes constantly, so your New Home Consultant can tell you which homes could close inside your timeframe. Lennar’s guide to move-in ready homes covers the trade-offs.

Lennar’s VA / D.C. Metro market covers the Northern Virginia area, including Ashburn in Loudoun County, Manassas in Prince William County and Fredericksburg to the south. Communities there include Ashberry in Manassas, which offers townhome-style condos, and Stonehaven, a master-planned community of single-family homes near Warrenton. Existing and proposed amenities vary by community and are subject to change. Ask your New Home Consultant which amenities are currently available or planned.

Every new Lennar home in Virginia is backed by a warranty that includes workmanship, systems, and structural coverage. The warranty documents you receive with your home set out covered items, exclusions and claim procedures. After move-in, warranty and service requests are handled by Lennar Customer Care rather than your sales office.

In Virginia, Lennar builds homes to the code requirements in force where the community sits, and local building officials or other authorized inspectors sign off at the stages required by the applicable authority having jurisdiction. Behind that process are decades of Lennar experience building homes across the country. Before closing, you’ll usually walk the finished home with the Lennar team, flag anything that needs attention, and learn how the home’s systems work.
