Spring Hill

Spring Hill is a gated 55+ active adult community in Lorton, Virginia, developed by Del Webb (Pulte Homes) between 2006 and 2014. With 282 residences spread across a 47-acre campus in southern Fairfax County, the community is fully built out and resale-only, drawing active retirees and working 55+ professionals who want resort-style amenities just 20 miles south of Washington D.C. The community offers three distinct housing types. Mid-rise condos built beginning in 2010 occupy five 25-unit elevator buildings, with five floor plans ranging from 890 to 1,621 square feet — each unit offering two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a ground-level one-car garage. Popular condo models include the Clarion (the largest at 1,621 sq ft), Beaumont, and Anthem. Attached homes (villas/townhomes) run 1,975 to 2,250 square feet — the Winthrop Loft, Somerset with Loft, and Concord Villa are standout floor plans offering main-level living with optional lofts. Single-family homes range roughly 2,300 to 2,500 square feet, with some of the larger four-bedroom floor plans reaching into the 2,342 sq ft range. The centerpiece is an award-winning clubhouse with an indoor lap pool and spa, fully equipped fitness center, aerobics/yoga room, billiards room, grand ballroom for social gatherings, party room with catering kitchen, business/computer center, card rooms, and craft space. Outdoor amenities include tennis courts, pickleball courts, bocce courts, walking and biking trails, a gazebo, and a tot lot playground for visiting grandchildren. A full-time lifestyle director runs a packed social calendar — bridge, bunco, mah-jongg, poker, bingo, book club, quilters, knitting, arts and crafts, scrapbooking, puzzle club, computer classes, monthly potluck dinners, catered events, ladies' and men's night out, and fitness classes including yoga, jazzercise, line dancing, Tai Chi, and aqua aerobics. Location is a major draw. Spring Hill sits directly next door to the Laurel Hill Golf Club and is walking distance to Liberty Market — a retail center anchored by a Lidl grocery store with restaurants, shops, and offices, built on the grounds of the former Lorton Reformatory. The Workhouse Arts Center, offering concerts, comedy shows, and art classes, is a six-minute drive away. I-95 is about 1.5 miles from the community, the Lorton VRE station and Amtrak Auto Train are roughly 10 minutes away, and the Springfield Metro is under 20 minutes. Nearby shopping includes Lorton Marketplace, Shoppes at Lorton Valley, Gunston Plaza, Potomac Mills, Pentagon City Mall, and Tysons Corner. Both Reagan National and Dulles International airports are about 30 minutes away. Charming waterfront Occoquan and historic Alexandria are within easy reach. HOA fees range from $152 to $244 per month depending on home type (condos vs single-family), covering lawn care, mulching, tree and bush trimming, snow removal, gate guard service, common grounds maintenance, and the amenity package. The median home price is approximately $683,000, reflecting the Fairfax County premium and proximity to the D.C. metro job market. Note: Harmony at Spring Hill, an assisted living facility, is a separate nearby development and not part of this active adult community.
