Oakton, VA Homes For Sale

How did the town of Oakton come by its name? From the towering Oak trees that are so prevalent throughout its ten square miles. Oak-ton, get it? But despite the abundance of tall leafy things, this community is really known for its lovely homes for sale—in the form of awe-inspiring mansions. And if you think this is just a typical real estate come-on, simply start scrolling through the listings—you'll find page after page of humongous million-dollar pads.

Are the high-end homes for sale in Oakton really all that impressive? It depends on your notion of what’s good and what is simply big. But if you like brand-new construction, soaring two-story ceilings, swimming pools and kitchens the size of cafeterias, then one of these custom monsters may be for you.

There’s some history in Oakton—the Vale Schoolhouse, built in 1884 still stands and is now home to the Vale Club; an active women’s social organization. But while there are a few old properties here and there, they don’t account for a significant part of the real estate market. Widespread residential development didn’t begin until the 1950s and it has increased steadily since then. To learn more Oakton, VA homes for sale, give us a call today!

More About the Oakton Real Estate Market

Detached single-family homes for sale out around $600,000, represented by larger Ramblers and Split-levels. This emphasizes a certain point that should be made about the market here—this isn’t a place that is known for bargain basement finds. Prices increase steadily, through the upper six figure range and quickly entering the land of seven figures. And while you’ll find some lovely Capes, Tudors and custom Craftsman homes, the largest portion of properties are custom Colonials.

What about condos for sale in Oakton—do they exist? Yes, they do indeed. About one-third of all properties are considered multifamily dwelling. There are a few entry-level one bedroom units, starting around $200,000, usually found in townhouse complexes. The actual townhouses soon take over—spacious residences that climb into the high six figure range.

Home to over 34,000 residents, Oakton lies mostly north of Route 66 with neighboring Vienna just to the east. This affluent community regularly ranks high on national media sites, such as CNN/Money. Locals enjoy the Oak Marr Golf and Recreation Center with its great course and Olympic-sized swimming pool. Other courses in the area include Penderbrook and the Army-Navy Country Club.
