Aldie

Welcome to Aldie, VA

Tucked away in picturesque Loudoun County, there’s a serene, storied village that also happens to occupy one of Virginia’s fastest-growing ZIP codes today: Aldie. Originally built around the Aldie Mill in the 1800s, this historic district has since seen unprecedented growth and now stands as a vibrant blend of the past and present.

What You’ll Love About Aldie

• Its History: Looking to experience historic Loudoun County in all its glory? Easy — taking a stroll around the village’s well-preserved 18th and 19th-century structures is like taking a walk back in time. Along leafy roads and lush farmland, you’ll find the remains of 200-year-old brick and stone walls, along with a Civil War battlefield and a Union regimental monument. Fittingly, Aldie has several sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places, delivering the ultimate day trip for history buffs near and far. Start by discovering a part of Northern VA’s industrial heritage at the Aldie Mill Historic Park, then take a tour of the Mount Zion Old School Baptist Church, which was once the site of a prison/hospital/barracks during the Civil War. Rounding out the memorable sites to discover are the 95-acre Furr Farm, the 108-foot-long Little River Turnpike Bridge, and the Loudoun County Agricultural Institute.
• Ease of Getting Around: Although Aldie transports you back in time, the truth is that it’s firmly at the center of modern life. Just a few miles west of Middleburg, Aldie straddles US-50, which means Leesburg is no more than a 20-minute drive away. Additional access includes a short 16-mile trip to Dulles and a mere 40-mile drive into Washington, DC.
• Top-Rated Schools: In the Loudoun County Public School district, most of the schools are located near the newer communities east of the village, apart from Aldie Elementary School, which is right on Meetinghouse Lane. Other public schools in the area include: Hovatter Elementary School, Willard Middle School, Mercer Middle School, Lightridge High School, and John Champe High School.
• Open Space: Given its bucolic character, it seems only natural that green spaces abound in Aldie. First, there’s the sprawling 155-acre Gilbert’s Corner Regional Park at the foot of the Bull Run Mountains, the intimate Aldie Park right along the Little River, the historic Aldie Mill, and the storied Zion Park (to name just a few).
• A Vast Expanse of Neighborhoods: Thanks to the surge of development that Aldie’s seen over the past two decades, a growing collection of master-planned communities has taken hold. Many of these — such as Stone Ridge, Lenah Mill, and Willowsford — boast amenities like community centers and clubhouses, pools, parks, trails…and in the case of Hartland, even a winery!
