Haymarket, Virginia · 20169 Prince William County

The townhouse column is shaped by builder sales. Of the 82 new townhouses that show one day or less on the market, 46 sold more than 15% above the base list price, a median of 118% of list, because buyers added options and upgrades; they are not bidding wars. They lift the average townhouse sale to 108.4% of the asking price and explain most of the sales over asking. One single-family house sat 425 days before it sold.

Gross yield is before the mortgage, tax, HOA, insurance and upkeep. The higher the ratio, the cheaper renting is for what the home costs. A Haymarket house at 20.7 is a better deal to rent than a house in Gainesville (18.2) or Bristow (17.9), so renting first is reasonable for anyone who may move within a few years; buying pays off if you plan to stay.

Dominion Valley Country Club. A Toll Brothers golf community planned for about 3,000 houses and townhouses, outside the town limits. Inside it, Regency at Dominion Valley is a gated community for buyers 55 and over, with 533 single-family homes, 199 attached homes and 226 condominiums.

Piedmont and the Villages of Piedmont. Planned neighborhoods with Haymarket addresses; the Villages of Piedmont lie southwest of the town. Both are outside the town limits, so they pay county tax only.

The Town of Haymarket. The old town sits on Washington Street (Route 55) between Route 15 and Route 29, with red-brick sidewalks and the Haymarket Museum in the old town hall and school. Greenhill Crossing straddles the town line: part of Greenhill Crossing Drive is inside the town, and the rest of the community is in the county.

New construction. Half the 2026 townhouse sales were builder closings, at a median of $786,128. Ask for the base price, the cost of each option you want, what is included, and the warranty, and compare it with the $689,000 resale median.

What to check. Whether the tax record says Town of Haymarket; the HOA resale package with dues and any golf or club fees; whether a 55+ community's age rules fit your plans; and how far the house is from the I-66 ramp at the hour you would leave.

PWCS draws its own attendance lines, and a Haymarket street can feed Battlefield or Gainesville. Check any address with the PWCS school locator, and ask Ahmed to confirm it before you offer.

Masjids and halal markets

The 66 Express Lanes are free for carpools of three with an E-ZPass Flex; everyone else pays a toll that moves with traffic. OmniRide's Haymarket express route runs from the Haymarket lot to Rosslyn and Ballston, and OmniRide express buses from Gainesville and Manassas reach the Pentagon and downtown DC; check the current schedule before you count on it.⁵ The VRE Manassas Line starts at Broad Run station in Bristow. Ahmed will do the 8 am drive with you before you offer.

Outdoors and sights. The Bull Run Mountain Conservancy has hiking trails about 15 minutes from town, and Manassas National Battlefield Park, where the First and Second Battles of Bull Run were fought, is about 15 minutes the other way. Silver Lake Park, the Winery at La Grange and the Farm Brewery at Broad Run are close by, and the Haymarket Museum tells the town's story.

Food and groceries. Washington Street has El Vaquero West and Red House Tavern, Watts Road has a Nepali kitchen and a halal grill, and Gainesville has halal meat at Gainesville Halal Market and International Market. Sudley Road in Manassas has two more halal butchers.

Taxes, most Haymarket addresses.⁴ Unincorporated Prince William County, including Dominion Valley and Piedmont: $0.865 per $100 of assessed value for 2026, down from $0.906 in 2025, plus the countywide fire and rescue levy of $0.070, about $0.935 in all. That is about $9,280 a year on a $992,500 house (the median price times the rate), before HOA dues. The county's car tax is $3.50 per $100.

Taxes, inside the Town of Haymarket. Add the town's $0.098 per $100, about $970 a year on the same house, for roughly $10,250 in all. Only the streets inside the town limits pay it.

The area is ZIP code 20169 as the Census Bureau maps it (37.42 square miles). We rate places, never people, so there is no school, safety or “who lives here” score. Map counts are what the sources have mapped and can miss a place. Scored October 22, 2026; updated every six months.

None of these picks showed as closed on Yelp when checked. Rankings weigh current Yelp ratings by review count; the halal note comes from Zabihah, Yelp or the restaurant itself, and "ask about halal" means it could not be confirmed. Halal butchers are in the Masjids and halal markets section above. Know one that belongs here? Tell Ahmed.
