Located near Potomac Mills mall, K. Hovnanian’s Four Seasons at Historic
Virginia has been recognized nationally as a leader in Active Adult
communities. With its tree-lined boulevards, low maintenance homes and a
21,000 square foot clubhouse, this growing community offers 800

Surrounded by rolling green hills and majestic views of Fauquier
County’s Blue Ridge mountains, K. Hovnanian’s Four Seasons at Vint Hill
offers 100 luxurious, low maintenance, single-family homes on wooded
home sites and is part of the master-planned Vint Hill community.
Minutes from historic Warrenton and within an hour of Washington, DC,
the community strikes a harmonious balance between country gentility and
city convenience. But, some of the best attractions are in the
community, especially within the homes themselves. The Sanibel model was
a Silver Winner in the Active Adult Model Home Merchandising (2,101 to
2,800 square feet) category.

Active Adult communities are designed for persons aged 55 or better,
either in pre-retirement or retirement, who seek a residential setting
that provides low — or no-maintenance homes, a wide variety of sports
and recreation amenities, and a location that keeps them close to
shopping, entertainment, travel options and friends and family. K.
Hovnanian’s Four Seasons captures all these elements and continues to
build nationally award- winning communities.
