October is a great time of year to check out the changing leaves. It’s also home to the Hilly Chantilly 5K race. This year’s race is on October 2nd. If you want to live on the 5K route, now is a great time to be looking for a home in the area.
Chantilly is a great neighborhood as it is centrally located and most of the homes are owner occupied. There is a great park in the neighborhood, Chantilly Park, which features 7 acres of playground, volleyball court, picnic shelter, walking trails, and multi-purpose field. The streets of Chantilly are great for taking a bike ride or a family walk. Lots of old growth trees and mature landscaping make Chantilly feel like home.
