Northern Virginia’s largest “Open House” home tour will be held April 26-27

Northern Virginia’s largest free “Open House” self-guided home tour will take place the weekend of April 26-27 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. 

Explore the region’s most innovative single family homes, custom homes, townhomes, condominiums, and active adult offerings.

Those interested in universal design, green certified design, and Energy Star rated homes will also have plenty of options to explore. There will even be homes available for immediate delivery.

The Parade of Homes spans Loudoun County, Fairfax County, Prince William County, Fauquier County, Mount Vernon, Arlington and Alexandria.

Now in its 17th year, the parade features a wide array of homes—both newly built and remodeled—designed for many tastes, lifestyles and budgets. The event allows many of the area’s leading builders and remodelers the opportunity to showcase their craftsmanship, innovative design features, dynamic floor plans and the latest in interior design ideas.

A complete list of locations and communities is available at vaparade.com. Using the website, a personal tour can be automatically created and mapped with driving directions based upon individual choices and sorted by location, home type and price range.

Again, the public is invited to visit these homes free of charge. The Parade of Homes will also benefit NVBIA’s charitable organization, HomeAid Northern Virginia (http://www.homeaidnova.org), which builds and renovates shelters for homeless women and children and provides critical support to struggling families.
