Welcome to Dale City, Virginia

Known as the “friendliest city around,” Dale City is a great place to call home. Located only 30 miles south of Washington, D.C. and in Prince William County, Dale City thrives due to its wonderful community and small-town charm. In the 1950s, Dale City had one neighborhood, but today the city is a great suburb with tons of options for housing, and close to our nation’s capital with lots to offer!

Dale City is literally a town built around its neighborhoods. Real-estate developer Cecil “Dale” Hlyton and his company started to develop affordable housing in Dale City, with each neighborhood ending in the word “dale.” The town streets are also in alphabetical order, for example; Ashdale, Birchdale, Cloverdale and Darbydale all appearing one after another when traveling through the city blocks East to West. The Hylton Group is still around today, creating homes with their same unique moniker of, what else, but “dale.”

Dale City is known for its affordable housing compared to the rest of the region. Still, the housing market boasts beautiful homes including single family units, townhouses, and condominiums. The rural, relaxed atmosphere of Dale City is perfect for commuters who love the big city, but would like a smaller place to call home. Unload all the stress the minute you enter the front door of your Dale City home that has a quiet and relaxed feel. Commuting is easy in the area, providing easy access to Metro stations and major highways.
