Gainesville, VA, Real Estate

Gainesville is a small suburb in Prince William County, Northern Virginia, and sits just outside Washington D.C. It is home to a mix of young professionals, all-ages households, and 55+ communities. The school system is considered to be very good with a well-rounded curriculum. Residents of Gainesville homes have access to many amenities that are within a 5-minute walk from most of the neighborhoods.

Gainesville History

Gainesville has a long history that dates back to the 1800s. Before it was known as Gainesville, the area had two other names. During the colonial era, it was called the Middle Grounds because it sat between Bull Run and Broad Run. Stagecoaches used it as a major changing point on the Fauquier and Alexandria Turnpike to switch out horses before they continued on their journey. As new businesses grew in the area, it became known as “New Stable.”

A post office opened in 1846 in a hotel run by Richard Graham. He also ran a general store and a large stable. In 1850, the railroad running to Strasburg was brought to the area by Thomas Brawner Gaines, who sold a right-of-way to the Manassas Gap Railroad to run the tracks through his land. The Gainesville train depot was soon built and the area became a small community in 1856. Gainesville became a major shipping point for cattle, timber and grain.

Gainesville played a role in the American Civil War, when it was occupied by both the Union and Confederate armies. The Thoroughfare Gap that ran through the mountains of Bull Run was used as a path by the soldiers to get to the first and second battles of Bull Run. In 1994, the first Gainesville townhome community, known as Crossroads, was built and marked an era of mass development for the Gainesville real estate market.

The town was nearly completely destroyed during the Civil War by a Union patrol who set fire to a majority of the homes. After the fire, Haymarket came together to rebuild, with many of the buildings from the time of reconstruction surviving.

Prince William County History

Gainesville is part of Prince William County, which has its own rich history. Once home to the Doeg Native American tribe, a group of English explorers led by John Smith ventured into the area in 1608. They came across a village that was inhabited by the Doeg and referred to it as Pemacocack. In 1700, the Doeg decided to abandon the village because of the diseases that were brought by the settlers.

In 1731, the area saw a rise in its population, and the area was named Prince William County, after Prince William, the Duke of Cumberland, and third son to King George II of England. The county originally included what today is known as:

Fairfax
Arlington
Loudoun
Fauquier

And what are now the independent cities of:

Falls Church
Alexandria
Fairfax
Manassas
Manassas Park

The population of Prince William County was composed of a mix of enslaved African Americans and white settlers by 1790. Tobacco plantations began to spring up for a while before they became crop-growing land as a result of changes in the market and soil exhaustion. For decades, the county was rural and agricultural.

During the early 20th century, the main population of Prince William County congregated in two main areas. The first was around Manassas' crossroad junction and the other gathered along the Potomac River, near Occoquan and Woodbridge. In the later part of the 1930s, the areas saw a jump in the development of suburban residential areas. As Washington D.C. began to grow and become more suburban, so did Prince William County and its culturally diverse neighborhoods and communities, including the Gainesville real estate market.

Real Estate Taxes

Northern Virginia's property taxes may vary depending on the city and county. In some instances, homeowners may be required to pay both a city and a county tax. The average national property tax amount is 1.08 percent.

The county-wide tax rates are set on an annual basis in Prince William County and are used to fund volunteer fire and rescue services, management of stormwater and waste, and a number of other public services. Taxes are also levied on newly constructed improvements that were completed after the start of the year.

The real estate taxes are paid in two annual installments, with most homeowners paying their taxes as part of their mortgage repayments.
