Dunbarton is an intimately sized active adult community for homeowners who have reached the 55-year milestone. Located in Bristow, VA, in historic Prince William County, 45 minutes away from Washington, DC. This serene, gated community is situated on land first settled by the Linton family from Scotland, who gave it to the Benedictine Sisters, and later sold for residential development. These 141 acres, where the Sisters once picked berries and fished, now encompass 479 homes.

Construction on the Dunbarton community began in 2001. It features homes of various sizes and styles, welcoming residents in a quiet neighborhood atmosphere. These homes were specifically designed for the active adult homeowner with spacious first floor master suites with spa-like baths, casual outdoor living spaces and ample storage areas. They are set within mature landscaping and have charming curb appeal. Common areas, which include streets, facilities and amenities, are owned and maintained by the Community Association. HOA dues are reasonable and include basic cable and internet, trash pickup, and street and common area maintenance.
The community offers a wonderful set of amenities to encourage a physically fit and socially active lifestyle centered around our lovely 21,000 square foot clubhouse. Its features include a fitness center, indoor swimming pool and spa, billiards and card room, a relaxed gathering room and a grand ballroom perfect for holiday parties, dances, social gatherings, theatrical plays, seminars and more. Outdoors there are tennis and pickle ball courts, a putting green and a walking trail beside Broad Run.
