Ashbrook Village is one of those names that most eyes get tricked into seeing differently. Constructed in the shadows of the mega neighborhood, Ashburn Village- with its 5071 homes, world-class sports pavilion and seemingly endless amenities, it’s easy to see how at first glance Ashbrook could be glanced over. However, upon further inspection, Ashbrook Village’s mix of 310 single family and townhome-style homes are a perfect alternative for people and families who are searching for the amenities of a modern HOA on a smaller, more intimate scale.
