What Chantilly Is
The Chantilly housing market spans both Fairfax County and Loudoun County in Northern Virginia, near the Dulles corridor and the Udvar-Hazy Center. Homes are mainly 1980s and 1990s brick Colonials and split-levels, with larger custom homes near the Loudoun border. Which county a house sits in affects taxes and services, so check that first.
Which neighborhoods in Chantilly do buyers compare?
Chantilly buyers usually compare Poplar Tree Estates, South Riding and Woodbine, Westfields, Chantilly Highlands, and Armfield Farm. They differ in lot size, amenities, and which county they sit in. The table below gives a quick view of each area so you can narrow your tours.

The U.S. Census Bureau reports a median value of owner-occupied homes of $663,600 for Chantilly CDP (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024). This is a five-year survey estimate, not a current asking price. A home's price depends on its neighborhood, size, condition, and recent comparable sales.
Streets in the same ZIP code can sell at very different prices. We compare your home with recent nearby sales before suggesting a number.
Is Chantilly in Fairfax County or Loudoun County?
Chantilly spans both Fairfax County and Loudoun County. The South Riding area is in Loudoun County, and most other neighborhoods covered here are in Fairfax County. The two counties set their own real estate tax rates and issue their own assessments, so confirm the county for any address you are considering.
Ask for the county tax records for any home. Differences in tax rates and assessments can change your monthly cost.
What is the commute like from Chantilly?
Chantilly residents use Route 28, Route 50, I-66, and the Silver Line. One example trip leaves at 7:10 AM, clears the Route 28 interchange, and reaches the Pentagon in 32 minutes using the I-66 express lanes. Fairfax is about 10 minutes east. Test the commute at your own hour before you buy.
Major intersections include Lee Jackson Memorial Hwy (US-50) and Sully Road (VA-287), and Westfields Blvd and Newbrook Drive. Primary ZIP codes are 20151, 20152, and 22033.

Westfield High School is at 4700 Stonecroft Blvd and Chantilly High School is at 4201 Stringfellow Rd, both in Chantilly, VA 20151. Poplar Tree Elementary is at 13440 Melville Ln. Fairfax County approved boundary changes in January 2026 for the 2026-2027 school year, so confirm the assigned school for every address.
Loudoun addresses, such as South Riding, are served by Loudoun County Public Schools instead.
How should you price when selling a home in Chantilly?
We price from recent comparable sales in the same neighborhood, then adjust for lot, condition, and updates. Buyers often ask about the roof, HVAC system, and any improvements, so gather those records before listing. Clear documentation helps avoid doubts during the inspection and appraisal.
Sellers sometimes need a rent-back after closing while they buy their next home. We review that option and your other offer terms with you.
What should buyers check before buying Chantilly real estate?
Check which county the home is in, the tax assessment, and the school assignment. Fairfax and Loudoun have different tax rates, and each county issues its own assessments. We also review inspections, disclosures, and contract terms with you before you commit to a Chantilly home.
