Downtown

Dinner, a movie and a bookstore, all on foot.

Downtown One Loudoun is the center of daily life. Around the plaza you'll find restaurants with patios that fill up most evenings, including Matchbox, Ted's Bulletin and Sense of Thai St, along with Alamo Drafthouse Cinema and Barnes & Noble.

Shopping includes Trader Joe's, Arhaus, Alo and Sephora, so a grocery run, a new outfit and dinner out can all happen without moving the car.

When the sun goes down, the plaza glows. String lights come on, the patios fill and the neighborhood takes on an energy all its own.

Outdoors

Trails, green space and room to breathe.

Central Park, just west of downtown, has more than a mile of walking trails, including wooden boardwalks through the woods. Most mornings and evenings you'll find neighbors out with their dogs.

The Barn at One Loudoun, at the south end of Central Park, hosts concerts and community events, and The Club at One Loudoun has the neighborhood pool and playing fields.

Weekend mornings often start at the farmers market, and concerts and community events fill the calendar much of the year.

The Homes

Townhomes, condos and single family homes.

One Loudoun's homes range from condominiums near downtown to townhomes along streets like Northpark Drive and Uptown Row, plus single family homes. Many townhomes and condos have private rooftop terraces with views across the neighborhood.

Homes here rarely sit on the market for long, and plenty of sales happen through word of mouth. That's why we built One Loudoun Life: buyers who register get a private first look, and homeowners can quietly see who is looking before deciding whether to list.
