Tartan Village Community Fast Facts

Tartan Village Real Estate

Tartan Village real estate consists primarily of Colonial-style townhomes arranged along quiet residential streets and cul-de-sacs. The community includes interior and end-unit properties with brick, brick-front, or siding exteriors. Mature trees and landscaped common areas help soften the higher-density townhome setting.

Floor plans range from approximately 930 square feet in some compact models to more than 2,200 square feet in larger residences. Buyers can choose from two, three, and four-bedroom configurations with two or three finished levels. Some homes include traditional basements, while others use split-level or above-grade designs to create additional living space.

The community was developed with approximately ten original home models. These include the Carlton, Carlisle, Fairfield, Gunston, Monticello, Occoquan, Pepperwood, Rockledge, Saratoga, and Seneca. The different models provide a broad range of layouts, bedroom arrangements, living areas, and outdoor configurations.

Common interior features may include separate living and dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, fireplaces, hardwood or luxury vinyl flooring, primary bedrooms with private bathrooms, finished recreation rooms, and laundry areas. Updated properties may offer open kitchens, granite or quartz countertops, modern cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, renovated bathrooms, replacement windows, and newer mechanical systems.

Because these townhomes were constructed more than four decades ago, renovation histories vary considerably. Some residences retain traditional layouts and original finishes, while others have been comprehensively updated. Buyers should evaluate each property based on its condition, upgrades, floor plan, lot position, and maintenance history.

End Units and Outdoor Space

Many Tartan Village homes include a fenced backyard, patio, deck, or landscaped outdoor area. End-unit properties may provide larger yards, additional side windows, and increased separation from neighboring homes. Several sections of the community back to trees, open space, or parkland, creating more private outdoor settings.

Outdoor maintenance responsibilities can differ between the homeowner and association. Buyers should review the resale package to determine responsibility for roofs, siding, fences, decks, landscaping, trees, and exterior improvements. Proposed changes may require approval from the community’s architectural review process.

Tartan Village Community Amenities

Tartan Village provides shared amenities designed to support neighborhood recreation and pedestrian connections. Community features may include:

• Landscaped common grounds
• Neighborhood playgrounds
• Walking paths and sidewalks
• Wooded areas and open green space
• Tennis or multipurpose courts
• Assigned resident parking
• Visitor and community street parking
• Professional community management

Amenities, hours, access requirements, and community rules can change. Buyers should confirm current facilities and policies through the Tartan Village Community Association’s resale documents.

Tartan Village HOA

Tartan Village is a covenant-controlled community governed by the Tartan Village Community Association. Association fees help support shared services such as common-area landscaping, community management, snow removal, trash or recycling services, playgrounds, paths, and other neighborhood facilities. The precise services included should be confirmed for each property.

Before buying a Tartan Village home, purchasers should review the association’s current budget, reserve information, insurance documents, architectural standards, parking rules, pet policies, leasing restrictions, meeting minutes, and any planned projects or special assessments. Buyers should also confirm whether a particular property has any outstanding violations or unapproved exterior modifications.

Tartan Village is commonly described as being in the Kingstowne area, but it has its own community association. Buyers should not assume that Tartan Village ownership automatically includes access to every amenity operated by the Kingstowne Residential Owners Corporation. The resale package should identify all applicable associations, assessments, and recreation privileges.

Parking in Tartan Village

Homes generally convey with assigned parking spaces, and some sections provide additional community or street parking. The number and location of spaces can vary by residence. End units and larger models do not necessarily include additional assigned spaces.

Buyers should verify the exact space numbers that convey, guest-parking procedures, permit requirements, commercial-vehicle restrictions, towing policies, and rules for recreational vehicles. Parking details should be documented in the contract, resale package, or association records rather than assumed from a listing description.

Buying a Tartan Village Townhome

Townhomes in Tartan Village vary in size, condition, and level of renovation. Buyers should compare total finished square footage, bedroom placement, bathroom count, basement configuration, outdoor space, parking, and location within the community. A smaller home backing to common space may suit one buyer, while another may prefer a larger three-level residence near community amenities.

A professional home inspection can help identify the condition of the roof, windows, siding, plumbing, electrical system, foundation, HVAC equipment, appliances, drainage, deck, and fence. Buyers should determine which exterior components are maintained by the homeowner and which fall under association responsibility.

The resale package is equally important. It should disclose current assessments, community rules, reserve funding, insurance coverage, pending projects, architectural violations, parking policies, and leasing restrictions. Reviewing these materials during the contractual document-review period can help buyers understand the full obligations of ownership.
