Montebello

Montebello by Del Webb is a gated 55+ active adult community in Sterling, Virginia, tucked into Loudoun County just 30 miles from Washington, D.C. and minutes from Dulles International Airport. Built by Del Webb (PulteGroup) between 2022 and 2025, the community delivered its full 450-home plan and is now sold out — all transactions are resale. What sets Montebello apart from most Del Webb communities is the unusual breadth of housing: it combines attached villas, detached single-family homes, and elevator-access condos known as The Flats at Montebello, giving buyers at very different price points and lifestyle stages a way into the same amenity pool. Homes come in four lines. The Villas are attached single-story homes starting around 1,373 square feet with a one-car garage. The Classics are detached homes from roughly 1,453 square feet with two-car garages. The Premiers are the largest detached homes, ranging up to 2,714 square feet with two-car garages, and recent upgraded resales have traded in the $750K–$840K+ range. The Flats are elevator-building condos with covered parking, private storage, and many lake-view units overlooking the community pond. Every home type features a main-level owner's suite and outdoor living space. Social life centers on The Guilford House, a 14,000-square-foot clubhouse that serves as the community's social hub. Amenities inside and out include an indoor pool with spa, an outdoor pool with shaded cabanas and lounge seating, a state-of-the-art fitness center, movement/yoga studio, social hall, demonstration kitchen, game room, craft room, and a card room with bar area. Outdoors there are pickleball courts, bocce ball courts, a community garden, walking trails, tot lots, and pocket parks. A full-time onsite Lifestyle Director curates the calendar and supports resident-led clubs covering art and crafts, bocce, card games, fitness, gardening, golf outings, hiking, pickleball, swimming, and walking groups. Location is a major draw. Montebello sits directly adjacent to Claude Moore Park — 357 acres of forest, ponds, and trails right outside the gate — and across the street from Cascades Overlook Town Center, which puts restaurants, shopping, and a Costco within golf-cart distance. Commuter access is strong via Route 7, Route 28, Route 625 (Church Road), and the Dulles Toll Road. Reston Hospital Center and Inova Loudoun Hospital are both close by, and residents are a short drive from Washington & Old Dominion Trail, Algonkian Regional Park, Lake Fairfax Park, and more than 40 wineries in Loudoun County's wine country. The HOA is a flat $347/month covering landscaping, trash and recycling, snow removal, common area maintenance, and management — unusually simple compared to many Del Webb communities that tack on multiple fee tiers.
