Quantico Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Virginia

Quantico Real Estate Information: Quantico, Virginia in Prince William County is best known as the home of the Marine Corps Base Quantico, “The Crossroads of the Marine Corps” and one of the largest Marine bases in the world. Located in a picturesque setting about thirty miles from Washington, DC, the rich military history of Quantico is something that all residents are proud of. MBC Quantico is a major Marine Corps training base, covering nearly 100 square miles. The Corps' Combat Development Command is based here, which develops strategies for Marine combat, and makes up most of the community of over 12,000 military and civilian personnel, including families. Quantico Station is the name given to the base housing where a total of about 7,000 people live. The importance of Quantico will be increasing over the coming years as Department of Defense’s Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) plan is implemented. It’s not often that military families have an opportunity to buy low and sell high during a PCS (Permanent Change in Station). Prince William County is currently a buyers market. This market, combined with the price increase expectation as demand for housing increases because many important strategic and training commands are relocated or co-located to MCB Quantico, will drive the demand for sales of new and existing homes. There has never been a better opportunity to buy low and build equity. Real estate options consist of single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, and custom land for building. Located on the shores of the Potomac River in scenic Prince William County, the Marine Base is not the only thing that draws people to this part of Northern Virginia. The schools are very well regarded as part of Prince William County Public Schools, where the education of each student is individualized, developmentally appropriate and enhanced by national, global, and multicultural perspectives. Residents love the proximity to all the history and excitement of Washington DC but many prefer to spend time in the great outdoor and with all there is to do, no one can blame them.
