Please Properly Clean Up Your Yard Debris

Please do not blow or rake leaves or other yard debris into the streets or common areas. This debris can clog storm drain openings and lead to potential flooding.

Happy 40th Anniversary Ashburn Village

1987 - 2027

In September, the 40th Anniversary Commission held its first meeting, bringing together an enthusiastic team of resident volunteers to start planning Ashburn Village's landmark 2027 milestone.

Since our founding in 1987, Ashburn Village has grown into a vibrant place to live, learn, and play. The Commission's goal is to create meaningful experiences, foster community connection, and celebrate our shared history over the past four decades. Because our history is truly built by our residents, we want to hear from you!

Whether you are an original homeowner, a new family just settling in, or a longtime volunteer with a great story to tell, we invite you to share your memories and historic photos. Your contributions will help bring nostalgia, fun, and joy to our upcoming anniversary celebrations—and may even be featured in future issues of The Villager!

Share Your Story: Click the button below to complete our quick community submission form. Help us celebrate the history, people, and memories that make Ashburn Village the place we love to call home.

Ashburn Lake Forebay Retrofit Project

Work in Progress!

Project Information

Loudoun County is currently conducting a water quality improvement project at Ashburn Lake to ensure the lake continues to meet required environmental standards. The project may involve periodic equipment, brief access limitations, or visible work along the shoreline as improvements move forward.

Learn what the project entails here or read more on the Loudoun County Project Page.

Questions or Feedback?

Please submit any questions or comments regarding this project using the Ashburn Lake Forebay Retrofit Project Comment Form, available on the Loudoun County website.

🚧 Trail & Construction Area Reminder

As work continues on the lake and dam improvement project, the affected trail and construction areas remain closed to the public.

We have fencing, barricades, and signage in place to help keep everyone safe. We kindly ask everyone to please stay outside the fenced areas and respect the posted closures by not bypassing, moving, or climbing over any fencing or barricades.

Construction areas can have hazards that aren't always easy to see, so while the work is underway, we invite you to enjoy the trails and other open areas of Ashburn Village.

We appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation as this important project moves forward. Thank you for helping us look out for our neighbors, families, and project crews and keeping our community safe!
