Summary: More than 1,000 new homes are planned across four Prince William County communities in Gainesville, Woodbridge, Manassas and Nokesville. According to a July 22, 2026 announcement from Hines.com, the projects will include single-family homes, townhomes, stacked townhomes, duplexes and affordable dwelling units, with the first finished lots expected as early as late 2026.
The short verdict: These projects will create more choices for Northern Virginia buyers, but the bigger story is where the region’s next wave of growth is heading. AI, data centers and digital infrastructure continue to create jobs and investment, and housing demand is following that growth deeper into Prince William County.
More than 1,000 homes sounds like a massive number, but these homes will be spread across four communities and delivered over several years. This is not going to flood the market overnight.
What it will do is give buyers more options in some of the most active parts of Prince William County while bringing new attention to areas already experiencing major residential and commercial growth.
I have worked throughout Prince William County for years, and Gainesville, Woodbridge, Manassas and Nokesville each attract different types of buyers. These projects will include everything from detached single-family homes to lower-maintenance townhomes and duplexes.
Here is what is planned, when each community could move forward and what buyers and homeowners should know.

More Than 1,000 Homes Across Four Communities
According to Hines.com, the four developments are expected to deliver a combined 1,018 homes across Prince William County.
The projects include:
- Grayson Overlook: 210 single-family homes in Gainesville
- King’s Grove: 239 homes in Woodbridge
- Hoadly Square: 279 homes in Manassas
- Village at Broad Run: 290 homes in Nokesville
The communities will include detached homes, traditional townhomes, stacked townhomes, duplexes and affordable dwelling units.
Hines will advance the planning, engineering and horizontal development work, including internal roads, stormwater management, open space and community amenities. Finished lots will then be delivered to participating homebuilders.
Quick Comparison: New Homes Planned in Prince William County
| Community | Location | Homes | Housing Types | First Lots Expected |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grayson Overlook | Gainesville | 210 | Single-family detached homes | Late 2026 |
| King’s Grove | Woodbridge | 239 | Stacked townhomes, townhomes and affordable dwelling units | Late 2027 |
| Hoadly Square | Manassas | 279 | Townhomes, duplexes and affordable dwelling units | Late 2027 |
| Village at Broad Run | Nokesville | 290 | Single-family homes, townhomes, duplexes and affordable dwelling units | Fall 2028 |
Grayson Overlook in Gainesville
Grayson Overlook is planned as an 80-acre community with 210 single-family detached homes.
The project is being advanced in partnership with Trez Capital, and the finished lots have been presold to NVR, the parent company of Ryan Homes and NVHomes.
The first lots are expected to be delivered in late 2026, making Grayson Overlook the earliest of the four projects expected to move forward.
This is one buyers interested in Gainesville real estate should begin watching now.
Gainesville continues to attract buyers who want newer homes, more space and access to Interstate 66, Route 29, shopping, restaurants and employment centers throughout Northern Virginia.
The biggest unanswered question is pricing. No home prices have been announced, and final pricing will depend on floor plans, lot premiums, upgrades, interest rates and market conditions when sales begin.

King’s Grove in Woodbridge
King’s Grove is planned for 239 homes, including stacked townhomes, traditional townhomes and affordable dwelling units.
The project is being advanced with JR Real Estate Group, with finished lots presold to Beazer Homes and NVR.
Planned amenities include:
- A community clubhouse
- A playground
- A pavilion
- Multi-use courts
- A walking trail
The first lots are expected to be delivered in late 2027.
King’s Grove could appeal to first-time buyers, commuters and buyers looking for lower-maintenance new construction.
Woodbridge real estate remains popular because of its access to Interstate 95, Route 1, the Prince William Parkway and major employment centers throughout Northern Virginia and Washington, D.C.
Hoadly Square in Manassas
Hoadly Square is planned for 279 homes, including townhomes, duplexes and affordable dwelling units.
Finished lots have been presold to NVR and Drees Homes.
The community is expected to include:
- Linear parks
- A dog park
- A community garden
- A central community park
- A clubhouse
- Walking trails
The first lots are expected in late 2027.
This may become one of the more interesting options for buyers looking for a balance of location, amenities and potentially more attainable housing types.
The Manassas real estate market continues to attract buyers because of its access to Route 234, Interstate 66 and the Prince William Parkway.
Village at Broad Run in Nokesville
Village at Broad Run is planned as a 110-acre community with 290 homes.
The development will include single-family detached homes, townhomes, duplexes and affordable dwelling units.
Planned amenities include:
- A community clubhouse
- A swimming pool
- A playground
- A multi-use field
- A natural-surface trail
- Passive recreation areas
The first lots are expected to be delivered in fall 2028.
This project could have a major impact on Nokesville real estate.
Nokesville has traditionally been known for larger properties, rural surroundings and lower-density development. A community of nearly 300 homes represents a meaningful change for the area.
It will likely attract buyers who want new construction and neighborhood amenities, but it may also create conversations about traffic, schools, utilities and preserving the character of the surrounding community.
Why Prince William County Keeps Growing
Northern Virginia has dealt with low housing inventory for years, particularly for newer homes and properties near major commuter routes.
At the same time, the region continues to attract investment tied to artificial intelligence, technology, data centers and digital infrastructure.
Hines directly connected these communities to that employment and infrastructure growth.
That matters because data center investment does not only create technology jobs. It also supports construction, engineering, contracting, maintenance and other businesses whose employees need places to live.
Prince William County also has more available land than many neighboring jurisdictions, making it one of the most likely areas to absorb Northern Virginia’s next wave of residential growth.
What This Means for Buyers
More than 1,000 planned homes will not solve Northern Virginia’s housing shortage, but they will create more choices.
Buyers may eventually have access to detached homes, townhomes, stacked townhomes and duplexes across several different parts of Prince William County.
The best new-construction opportunities often come early. Builders typically release homesites in phases, and pricing can increase as a community becomes more established.
Premium lots, popular floor plans, main-level bedroom options and homes near amenities may also sell quickly.
Buyers should remember that the builder’s sales representative works for the builder. A local buyer’s agent can help review contracts, compare incentives, understand lot premiums and evaluate upgrade costs.
In many new-construction communities, buyers must register their agent before or during their first visit to the sales center. That is something many buyers do not realize until it is too late.
What This Means for Current Homeowners
New construction can bring more buyer attention, infrastructure investment and amenities to an area.
It can also create additional competition for existing homeowners who plan to sell.
Resale homes still have important advantages. They may offer larger lots, mature trees, finished basements, decks, fences, window treatments and established neighborhoods without the additional costs that often come with building from scratch.
The key for sellers will be positioning. An existing home does not always need to compete by trying to look brand new. It should compete by showing buyers the value of everything that is already included.
When Will the New Homes Be Available?
The current projected lot-delivery schedule is:
- Grayson Overlook: Late 2026
- King’s Grove: Late 2027
- Hoadly Square: Late 2027
- Village at Broad Run: Fall 2028
Lot delivery does not necessarily mean completed homes will be immediately available.
Builders will still need to begin vertical construction, open model homes and release homesites for sale. Depending on the community, sales could begin before the first completed homes are ready.
Buyers interested in these projects should begin tracking them well before the official grand openings.
Which Community May Be Right for You?
| Your Situation | Community to Watch |
|---|---|
| You want a new detached home near Interstate 66 | Grayson Overlook in Gainesville — 210 detached homes with the first lots expected in late 2026 |
| You commute along Interstate 95 or toward Washington, D.C. | King’s Grove in Woodbridge — planned with townhomes, stacked townhomes and community amenities |
| You want townhome or duplex options in central Prince William County | Hoadly Square in Manassas — planned with parks, trails, a clubhouse and a dog park |
| You want a neighborhood setting in western Prince William County | Village at Broad Run in Nokesville — planned with detached homes, townhomes, a pool and recreation areas |
| You want the earliest potential buying opportunity | Grayson Overlook — currently scheduled ahead of the other three projects |
The Bottom Line
More than 1,000 homes are planned across Gainesville, Woodbridge, Manassas and Nokesville.
These communities will bring more housing choices to Prince William County, but they also point to a larger trend.
Northern Virginia’s next wave of growth is moving west and south, driven by technology, AI, data centers and the jobs that come with them.
For buyers, these projects could create new opportunities over the next several years. For homeowners, they could bring more investment, more competition and more attention to the local housing market.
These communities may still be a few years away, but buyers who start tracking them early could have the best chance at preferred lots, floor plans and builder incentives.
