About Lake Ridge, Woodbridge VA

Lake Ridge is one of the ten largest subdivisions in the United States.
- 38,000 residents
- 7,000 + residences
- 4,400 acres
- 1,200 acres of it are treed common ground
- located on the 2,100 acre Occoquan Reservoir

Newcomers to any local area or subdivision are all familiar with the nationally recognized difficulty of commuting in the National Capital Area and invariably ask REALTORS®, "What is commuting like in Lake Ridge?". Although it is a subdivision Lake Ridge has all the attributes of a small city. There is an abundance of commuting facilities within the subdivision or at the entrance.

  • Express bus service to the Pentagon and Washington, DC is available within Lake Ridge and at the entrance to Lake Ridge in the VDOT Commuter Lot
  • Carpools usually meet at the VDOT Commuter Lot at the entrance to Lake Ridge - see Omnimatch for more specific details
  • Slugging (some erroneously call it hitching a ride which it is) is a result of the need to use HOV lanes on the I-95 as much as possible. Commuters form a line at a designated Slug Line Stop in Lake Ridge - the VDOT Commuter at the Lake Ridge entrance. For example, a driver will pull up headed for the Pentagon, but needs one more passenger to qualify for HOV-3. The first person in line going to the Pentagon will join the others in the car and away they go. It's free commuting for the slugger and gives the driver availability to HOV lanes on I-95 - win win!!
  • Train The Virginia Railway Express Woodbridge Station with rail service to Springfield, Crystal City and Union Station in Washington, DC is approximately a 20 minute drive from Lake Ridge in the morning rush hour.
  • At Springfield you can switch to Metrorail that gives you access to the entire National Capital Area subway system.
  • Local buses run regulary throughout the Greater Woodbridge area as well as other areas of Prince William County. Lake Ridge is one of the communities served by Omnilink
  • MCB Quantico is less than 30 minutes by car
  • Fort Belvoir is approximately 30 minutes by car

Karen, Wow!  Lake Ridge could be a city!  Great post.  Also a great idea to have the QR Code on your post.  I think I'll be following your lead on that one.
