If you’re PCS-ing to the area and are curious about homes, here’s some valuable information about Quantico homes.
Homes in Stafford
For those stationed at Quantico, Stafford is one of the best places to look for a home. I-95 is easily accessible, so you can get wherever you need to go more quickly. Not only is the drive to Quantico less than 20 minutes, but the VRE makes a stop in Stafford at Brooke Station. This allows some commuters to avoid the drive altogether. There are also several Park & Ride lots located throughout the city.
Stafford is not as busy as other Northern Virginia cities, and there are more housing options than in areas closer to Quantico. And in Stafford, buyers get more “home” for their money. Buyers in need of a large single-family home or townhome because they prefer more space or have a large family and need more bedrooms, will find many spacious homes on the market. Most of the homes in Stafford were built in the last 20 years, and from new construction houses to brick ranch-style homes to three-story townhomes, there are a lot of options.
Some of the best neighborhoods include Augustine North, Hampton Oaks, Widewater Village, Shelton Woods, and Liberty Knolls. Embrey Mill is one of the most sought-after communities, and homes here feature architecture inspired by Virginia’s historic houses. Aquia Harbour is yet another popular community in Stafford, as it is a gated community with extensive amenities.
Homes in Dumfries
The town of Dumfries offers more newer-construction options than any other area close to base. Depending on the neighborhood, Dumfries is a 10 to 20 minute drive from Quantico and is located just off of Route 1.

You can find two- and three- story townhomes, large single-family homes with up to 7,000 square feet of living space, and everything in between. Potomac Shores is popular due to its appealing amenities, including its own golf course. It is also the site of a future VRE station, which can make the commute to Quantico even easier.
Southbridge is another great area of Dumfries that is worth a look. It is a master-planned community on 600 wooded acres of land. The home sites in Southbridge are often smaller in size, but the homes themselves are quite spacious. Southbridge consists of townhomes, duplexes, and single-family homes. Montclair and Brittany are also great choices. Homes in these neighborhoods can be harder to come by, because there simply aren’t as many of them.
