WHERE WE LIVE: Gainesville community offers rural feel but commuting convenience
A drive through Meadows at Morris Farm in Gainesville, Va., reveals an unusual feature of this suburban community. The 660 houses vary in size and style, with single-family houses, courtyard clusters and townhouses. Houses have distinct door and shutter colors, and vinyl, brick or stone siding.Construction of the homes started in 2004 by several builders, including Craftmark, Brookfield, Richmond American and Ryan Homes.
The neighborhood offered a great place for her daughter to grow up with lots of other children near Glenkirk Elementary School, three playgrounds, a pool and walking trails. “It’s become quite a little village,” she said. It has a bit of “living history,” she said, because the 1857 Morris family farmhouse stands at the highest point of the neighborhood.
There are pockets of parks and natural spaces throughout the community and more than 40 acres of conservation area and open space along the south side of the community. This land is bordered by the Broad Run Creek. Although under the jurisdiction of Prince William County, the land is considered part of Morris Farm’s common area, Alexy said.
