3103 Hemlock Point Court — Triangle, VA
MilitaryByOwner Listing MBO1438408
For Sale: $639,900
Triangle is as close as you can get to the front gate. It’s the perfect place to call home if you’re reporting to the main side of Quantico for work and want a short commute but don’t want to live on base.
This four-bedroom, four-bathroom home is nestled into a wooded lot in a cul-de-sac. Not only will you get privacy with this home, but you’ll also have a view of the water.
Be swept away by the stunning lead glass front door. Then step inside to see how this property marries masculinity and elegance. With beautiful hardwood floors and graceful features like the curved staircase, the French doors offer lots of natural light.
The home is set up with classic living and dining rooms and a beautiful two-story stone fireplace.
The kitchen features rich cabinetry, cook top island, granite countertops, and built-in microwave and oven.
Enjoy not one, but two downstairs master suites— one is complete with a separate shower and tub. Upstairs you’ll find the two additional bedrooms.

2) Easy Access to Back Gate in Stafford
8 Snapdragon Drive — Stafford, VA
MilitaryByOwner Listing #MBO1447575
For Sale $849,975
Stafford is as close as you can get to the back gate of the other side of Quantico (the rural area home to TBS, the FBI, and the DEA). It offers a small town feel, with convenient access to favorites like Target, Walmart, and Panera. It’s most definitely a military town and fosters a sense of comfort and community.
Live large in this five-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home. Situated on three acres at the end of a long, wooded drive, this property will be your own oasis.
Walk right into a two-story foyer, where you’ll see the formal dining room and living room on either side with the cozy family room straight ahead. With features like extensive colonial trims, hardwood flooring, and custom arched entryways, this home is breathtaking. The great room has a marbled fireplace and custom coffered ceiling, making this space the perfect place for family gatherings.
The gourmet kitchen features granite counters and backsplash, a large island, designer cabinets with glass doors, pendant lights, butler's pantry with granite counters, and upgraded cabinets. Plus, it has a built-in secretary.
The bedrooms are located up the wrought-iron staircase on the second floor. The master suite is complete with hardwood floors, a huge walk-in closet, and a separate shower and tub.
Downstairs are all the family's favorites: the recreation room, exercise room, and a fifth bedroom. But the best part might be the gorgeous, large patio where outdoor living is a joy!
3) Stafford Home Perfect for a Growing Family

4197 Windflower Court — Woodbridge, VA
MilitaryByOwner Listing MBO1445799
For Sale: $524,900
Closer to D.C., a home in Woodbridge is busier than Triangle or Stafford. Though it makes for a longer commute, yours will be against traffic. It’s a quick hop down the highway to the main side of base, but a longer trek to the other side if you’re reporting to work there.
This four-bedroom, three-bathroom home is located in Woodbridge close to parks, schools, and all kinds of shopping. With a beautiful stone exterior, this property is jaw-dropping at first sight. It’s situated on a 1/3-acre fenced-in lot—perfect for pets and kids to run out their energy.

The master suite is complete with a separate shower and tub, and new vanity. The best part about this home? The new Trex deck with a motorized retractable awning that overlooks the private backyard! And, it’s newly updated with lovely bathroom vanities, light fixtures, and fresh paint throughout the home.
