Life in this town is never dull — festivals, ghost tours, Civil War sites, culinary events, family-owned shops and restaurants, and parks transform Leesburg into a vibrant destination. And while it’s deeply rooted in the past, Leesburg is also rapidly growing, adding many new construction homes at various price points.

“There are so many wonderful neighborhoods from which to choose — everything from the downtown historic homes to the upscale community of Meadowbrook Farm. Western Leesburg offers the Beacon Hill, Shenstone, and Red Cedar communities. The upscale condos by Knutson downtown are highly desirable for those who want maintenance-free living,” said Tanya Spotts, a Long & Foster agent.

The median sale value in Leesburg is $689,000, with more than 50 percent of homes selling above the list price, according to Redfin.
