Six in ten houses sold over asking, and one house buyer in 46 paid cash.
At a glance
Six numbers that describe Broadlands.
The median single-family home in Broadlands sold for $1,127,180 in 2026 and went under contract in four days, and six in ten sold above the asking price.
Broadlands is a planned community in eastern Loudoun County, next to Ashburn and Brambleton. It shares zip 20148 with both, but it has its own postal city in Bright MLS, so a listing can say Broadlands, VA. This page covers what a house or townhouse costs, how buyers pay, what it rents for, which schools it feeds, and the commute. Every number is from Bright MLS closed sales, pulled on October 2, 2026, not from a listing site's estimate.
Broadlands is an unincorporated community. Bright MLS counts a sale here only when the listing's postal city is Broadlands; homes listed under Ashburn or Brambleton are counted on those pages. Single-family means a detached house with at least three bedrooms and two full baths; townhouse means end-of-row and interior-row homes; condominium-regime homes are left out of both. Source: Bright MLS, closed sales January 1 to October 2, 2026, Postal City = Broadlands, County = Loudoun, pulled by Ahmed Makkiyah on October 2, 2026.
Prices
$1,127,180 for a house and $720,000 for a townhouse, less than Brambleton next door.
The median Broadlands house cost $77,758 less than in Brambleton ($1,204,938) and $59,520 less than in Ashburn ($1,186,700), and the median townhouse $120,000 less than in Brambleton ($840,000).
Houses. 46 houses sold, from $780,000 to $2,940,511, at a median of $1,127,180 and $368 a square foot. The median sold-to-list was 101.7%, and the average house sold for 2.1% over list. 28 of 46 sold above asking and 74% went under contract within a week, more than Ashburn (48% over asking, 62% within a week) or Brambleton (29% and 44%).
Townhouses. 37 townhouses sold, from $540,000 to $935,000, at a median of $720,000 and $300 a square foot. More than half, 20 of 37, sold above asking, and the median took five days. Bright MLS shows 50 Broadlands townhouse closings before the condominium filters; the 13 in a condominium regime or condo association are not counted here.
Against Loudoun County. On the county chart, Broadlands sits just below Leesburg and the Loudoun side of Chantilly ($1,140,000 each) and far above Sterling ($780,000). Aldie ($1,348,862), Brambleton and Ashburn cost more.
Median single-family sale price, Loudoun County, 20262
Bright MLS closed sales, 2026 year to date, County = Loudoun, filtered to detached houses with 3+ bedrooms and 2+ full baths, condominium-regime homes left out. Brambleton and Broadlands are their own postal cities, so Ashburn here leaves them out. South Riding (20152) is the Loudoun side of the Chantilly mailing address, nearly all of it South Riding. Hamilton, Purcellville, Round Hill, Lovettsville, Waterford and Middleburg are western Loudoun; Middleburg means the Loudoun County side of its address only. Lansdowne and Cascades are communities selected by zip code and subdivision name inside the Leesburg (20176) and Sterling (20165) addresses, so their sales overlap those rows. Upperville, Bluemont, Hillsboro and the other small places have too few sales to chart.
| Measure | Houses | Townhouses |
|---|---|---|
| Homes sold | 46 | 37 |
| Median sold price | $1,127,180 | $720,000 |
| Average sold price | $1,198,110 | $732,608 |
| Median price per square foot | $368 | $300 |
| Median days to contract | 4 | 5 |
| Median sold-to-list | 101.7% | 100.0% |
| Sold above asking | 28 (60.9%) | 20 (54.1%) |
| Under contract within 7 days | 73.9% | 62.2% |
| Lowest sale | $780,000 | $540,000 |
| Highest sale | $2,940,511 | $935,000 |
| Cash sales | 1 (2.2%) | 2 (5.4%) |
The top sale, $2,940,511, was a large new-construction home, and it lifts the house average to $1,198,110; the median is the better number. No sale closed above 112% or below 88% of its list price, so there are no bidding-war or distress outliers in these numbers.
What can you afford in Broadlands? Start from the monthly payment you can live with, not the price. Loudoun's tax rate is lower than Fairfax County's, but most Broadlands homes also pay the Broadlands Association HOA; the calculator adds them for you.
Follow the money
One house buyer in 46 paid cash in Broadlands in 2026.
The only cash buyer of a Broadlands house paid $1,299,000, 2.4% of the $55.1 million spent on houses. Two of 37 townhouse buyers paid cash, at $910,000 and $865,000.
Share of sales paid in cash, Broadlands against its neighbors
Cash is rare across eastern Loudoun: 4.8% of Brambleton houses and 5.5% in Aldie. Ashburn, next door, is the exception, with one house buyer in six paying cash, and Leesburg and Sterling sit at 13.2%.
How 46 Broadlands house purchases were paid for
One house buyer in seven used a VA loan, 7 of 46, and 6 of 37 townhouse buyers did too. The other 38 house buyers used a conventional loan.
What that means if you need a loan: you are competing with other financed buyers, not with cash, but the median house went under contract in four days and six in ten sold over asking. The offer that wins is a full pre-approval, a short inspection window and an appraisal-gap plan you decided before the open house.
Townhouses: 28 conventional, 6 VA, 2 cash and 1 FHA of 37. Mixed cash-and-loan deals were counted as financed.
The interesting facts
Fast sales, almost no cash, and $120,000 less than a Brambleton townhouse.
Four things in the 2026 numbers that set Broadlands apart.
Financed buyers set the price. With one cash buyer among 46 house sales, Broadlands is a mortgage market. In Ashburn, next door, 43 of 255 house buyers paid cash. Here a seller is choosing among financed offers, so the strength of the pre-approval and the appraisal plan decide who wins.
Fast, but measured. The median house sold for 101.7% of its list price and the average for 102.1%, and no sale closed above 112%. Most houses drew more than the asking price, but the typical premium was about 2%, not a runaway.
Renting a townhome? More townhomes were rented than sold: 57 leases at a median of $3,350, against 37 sales. Only 10 houses were rented in 2026, so a house to rent in Broadlands is hard to find.
Rent or buy
A Broadlands townhouse sells for 17.9 years of rent, a house for 21.7.
A Broadlands house rents for a median of $4,325 a month and sells for $1,127,180, a price-to-rent ratio of 21.7; a townhome rents for $3,350 and sells for $720,000, a ratio of 17.9.1
| Measure | Houses | Townhomes |
|---|---|---|
| Homes rented | 10 | 57 |
| Median monthly rent | $4,325 | $3,350 |
| Average monthly rent | $4,285 | $3,357 |
| Gross rental yield | 4.6% | 5.6% |
| Rent range | $3,650 to $4,700 | $2,800 to $4,250 |
Gross yield is before the mortgage, tax, HOA, insurance and upkeep. A ratio above 20 means a house rents cheaply for what it costs, so renting a house in Broadlands is fair value for a family that may move within a few years; a townhouse at about 18 pays off sooner. Both ratios are a little below Ashburn's, 22.0 for a house and 18.7 for a townhouse. With only 10 house leases, the house rent is a thinner number than the townhome rent.

The houses
About 3,800 homes on 1,500 acres, planned around a stream valley.
Broadlands was started by Van Metre Homes in the mid-1990s as a 1,500-acre planned community, with houses, townhomes and condos laid out around Stream Valley Park.
The community. About 3,800 homes: 1,916 single-family houses, 1,225 townhomes and 742 condos. The Broadlands Association, formed in 1995, runs the common areas, and homeowners have controlled it since 2009. About 14,000 people lived in the Broadlands census area in 2020.
Houses and townhomes. Most homes were built after the community began in the mid-1990s. The median house sold for $368 a square foot, almost the same as Brambleton ($365) and less than Ashburn ($385); the median townhouse sold for $300 a foot.
The Villages at Broadlands. A 55-and-over community within Broadlands. Its condominium homes are not in the numbers on this page.
New construction. The top 2026 sale, $2,940,511, was a large new-construction home. If you are buying new, ask for the builder's base price, what is included, and the warranty.
What to check. The postal city and the school assignment, not only the zip, since 20148 also covers Ashburn and Brambleton; the HOA resale package with dues and any special assessment; and on a house from the late 1990s, the age of the roof, windows and HVAC.
Schools
Briar Woods High, #16 in Virginia on US News, serves Broadlands.
Broadlands is Loudoun County Public Schools. The community has three elementary schools and a middle school of its own, and its high school students go to Briar Woods.3

Masjid
South Riding and Sterling
Madani Masjid on Loudoun County Parkway in South Riding, and the main ADAMS Center on Sugarland Road in Sterling.

Halal
More Ind-Pak Groceries
On Yukon Drive in Ashburn: halal meat, including goat, with desi groceries and cooked food.
Loudoun keeps adding schools as the eastern part of the county grows, and boundaries move with them, so the school named on a listing may not be the one assigned today. Check any address at the LCPS school locator, and ask Ahmed to confirm it before you offer.
Commute
The Silver Line's Ashburn station a short drive away, and Dulles Airport in 15 to 20 minutes.
Ashburn station, the last stop on the Silver Line, opened in November 2022 with about 3,000 parking spaces in two garages, and it is a short drive from Broadlands. By car, the Dulles Greenway and the Dulles Toll Road run east to Reston, Tysons and I-66.
| To | Drive | Route |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown DC | 55 to 90 min | Dulles Greenway and Toll Road to I-66, or the Silver Line from Ashburn |
| Pentagon | 50 to 80 min | Toll roads to I-66 east, then Route 110 |
| Tysons | 30 to 45 min | Dulles Greenway and Toll Road |
| Reston Town Center | 20 to 30 min | Dulles Greenway and Toll Road |
| Dulles Airport | 15 to 20 min | Loudoun County Parkway or the Greenway |
The Dulles Greenway is a private toll road and costs more at rush hour, so many drivers weigh it against Route 7 or the Loudoun County Parkway. Loudoun County Transit buses connect local stops and park-and-ride lots to Ashburn station; the old Broadlands Route 772 park-and-ride lot closed when the Silver Line buses started.5 The train to downtown DC is a long ride, but it skips the tolls and the parking. Ahmed will do the 7:45 drive with you before you offer.
Daily life
A 5,000-square-foot nature center and 150 acres of wooded trails.
Outdoors. Broadlands was built around Stream Valley Park, with about 150 acres of wooded trails, wetlands and wildlife preserve, and the National Wildlife Federation has certified it as a Community Wildlife Habitat. The Broadlands Nature Center, a lodge-style building of 5,000 square feet, has naturalists on staff, live animals, programs and summer camps.
Food and groceries. The shopping center on Truro Parish Drive has Ashburn Kabob and Spice Circle, both halal. For halal meat and desi and Middle Eastern groceries, Beaumeade Circle in Ashburn has Mahi Bazaar and Super Halal Market, and Yukon Drive has More Ind-Pak.
Taxes.4 Broadlands is unincorporated Loudoun County, so there is no town tax. The 2026 rate is $0.805 per $100 of assessed value, roughly $9,100 a year on a $1,127,180 house or $5,800 on a $720,000 townhouse, before HOA dues. Fairfax County charges $1.12 plus fees.
Car tax. Loudoun's FY2027 budget cut the vehicle tax by 6 cents, to $3.09 per $100 of value for 2026, and plans $2.94 for 2027.
Where to eat
"Ahmed, where do you go to eat?" The Broadlands list.
Up to five picks near Broadlands in each cuisine, the one doing best at the top, and halal marked. Two are in Broadlands itself, on Truro Parish Drive; the rest are in Ashburn and Sterling, about 10 to 20 minutes away.7
Closed, so not listed: VA Kabob House on Junction Plaza in Ashburn shows as closed on Yelp in 2026. Ashburn Biryani Grill on Yukon Drive and Loudoun Kabob were left out because their current Yelp scores could not be confirmed. Rankings weigh current Yelp ratings by review count, critics' lists and whether the place is busy; the halal note comes from Zabihah, Yelp or the restaurant itself, and "ask about halal" means it could not be confirmed. Know one that belongs here? Tell Ahmed.
Who buys here
Dulles corridor families, VA-loan buyers and townhouse move-ups.
Families who work in Ashburn's data centers and along the Dulles corridor; military and veteran families, 7 of the 46 house buyers used a VA loan; townhouse owners moving up to a house; and South Asian and Arab families who shop on Beaumeade Circle.
Buyers choose Broadlands over Brambleton for about $78,000 less at the median house and $120,000 less for a townhouse, and over Ashburn for about $60,000 less, with the Nature Center and the stream valley trails close by. What they give up is choice: 46 houses sold in Broadlands in 2026, against 255 in Ashburn, so the right house may not come up in the month you want it. If you are torn between the three, decide on the high school and the commute first; the price follows.

Is it better to rent or buy in Broadlands?
A median house sells for 21.7 times its yearly rent and a townhouse for 17.9 times, gross yields of 4.6% and 5.6%.

Both ratios are a little below Ashburn's, 22.0 and 18.7.
