About
Life in Stone Ridge
You're looking at a median household income of $187,563 and a median home price around $666,300, which reflects Loudoun County's status as the highest-income county in the nation; this isn't an affordable suburb, but it comes with the job market strength and schools that justify the price tag for many families, with unemployment sitting at just 3.1%. What keeps people here beyond the economics is the tangible sense of planned community—nearly 70% of households are married couples with kids, the median age is 35, and roughly 58% of homes have children, making this feel like a neighborhood where you actually know your neighbors and everyone's navigating similar life stages. Weekends offer genuine outdoor access to places like Manassas National Battlefield Park just 8 miles away and the Potomac Heritage Trail within 15 miles, plus Wolf Trap's performing arts venue, so you're not landlocked despite the suburban density.
