This is the 2nd project that is in the works for Cascades. The Villas at Cascades will be a residential housing community adjacent to the Marketplace and the plans include 173 two-over-two townhomes. The overall design and amenities are very similar to the new the condo community (Sterling Meadow) that is being built where the Regal Cinema was in Countryside.
There are very valid concerns about schools and traffic. I wrote a piece on this here: Sterling Meadow. However, I do want to mention that I am in support of the Sterling Meadow community plan. Selfishly, I am excited about new life coming to the Countryside shopping center in terms of restaurants and retail. The entire shopping center needs a facelift and better options. But, knowing that the these two other communities are in the works, I think we are going to be in condo overload.
The inventory of homes across the country is very low and very much so here in Loudoun County. We need single family homes, town houses and condos to meet the demand. But, if all we can build are condo communities our existing infrastructure won’t be able to handle it.
