Location first, home second
Ask anyone and they will tell you the same thing: choosing the right location is so incredibly important when home shopping. Decide on the right location before you decide on the right home. All Arcadia Communities neighborhoods are located in thriving and growing towns, and are within a quick shot to large metro areas. Charles Town and Martinsburg, West Virginia, home to Arcadia Chase and Springs respectively, are both on West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle – a booming region. Arcadia Willowsford and Fieldstone are in equally as appealing locations, Ashburn and Winchester, both in Virginia. And believe us, once you find the right Arcadia Communities neighborhood for you, you’ll have no trouble finding the perfect home!

Know the neighborhood plan
All of our communities have big plans for the future. With new homes being built, new neighbors will be moving in and new friendships will bloom. This is ideal for the growing family! Not to mention, several of our communities even offer great amenities for residents to enjoy. Everything from pools to playgrounds could be right down the road from your new home!

Don’t forget to look at the big picture
With so many factors needing individual attention, it’s easy to forget to step back and look at the overall picture. The home, the location, the amenities – how do they all work together to create a place you see yourself raising your family?

And lastly, could you imagine yourself living there in 10, 15, 20 years? Arcadia Communities homes are built to last. With the favorable conditions in the housing market, this is an excellent time for first-time homebuyers to move into a home they love!
