Waterfront Homes for Sale in Northern Virginia
Buying a Home by Natasha Lingle
Waterfront homes in Northern Virginia are a rare find — and when they do hit the market, they don’t last long. Whether it’s a luxury estate on the Potomac River in McLean, a lakefront retreat in Reston, or a charming home along the Occoquan, these properties offer something truly special: views, privacy, and a lifestyle centered around the water.
From Lake Barcroft to Lake Thoreau, many of the region’s lakefront homes are tucked into planned communities with access to paddleboarding, kayaking, and small boats. Others, like those along the Potomac, may offer private docks or direct water access — but also come with conservation or zoning restrictions buyers should be aware of.
If you’re shopping for a waterfront home, don’t forget to factor in flood insurance, shoreline maintenance, and any HOA rules that may affect how you can use the property. On the selling side, marketing a waterfront listing means going beyond square footage — think drone footage, lifestyle photos, and emphasizing the unique features that make the property feel like a private escape.
Inventory is tight, and competition is high — but for many buyers, the water is worth it. Please browse Northern Virginia Waterfront homes for sale below.
