Which Stone Ridge this page covers
At least seven other apartment complexes carry the exact name “Stone Ridge,” in Wixom, Michigan; Mobile, Alabama; Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Wichita Falls, Texas; Berea, Ohio; and Hagerstown, Maryland, plus a separate town called Stone Ridge in Ulster County, New York. None of that is what this page covers. This page is about Stone Ridge, Virginia: a planned community in Aldie, in southeastern Loudoun County, developed by Van Metre and governed by the Stone Ridge Association homeowners’ group.
One detail worth knowing before you search further: the Census Bureau tracks Stone Ridge as its own census-designated place, separate from the broader 20105 zip code, which also covers Arcola. The CDP’s household-income figure, $187,563, differs from the wider zip’s $219,123, because the zip pulls in areas outside the community boundary. If you’re comparing statistics across sites, check which boundary each one is using before treating the numbers as comparable.
Is Stone Ridge, VA the same as the Stone Ridge apartment complexes in other states?No. They are unrelated properties that happen to share a common name. If a listing shows a state other than Virginia, or an address outside Loudoun County, it isn’t this community.
What renters are currently paying
| Metric | Value | Source, year |
|---|---|---|
| Total housing units, zip 20105 | 10,388 | Census ACS 2019–2023 5-yr estimates |
| Renter-occupied units | 1,152 | Census ACS 2019–2023 5-yr estimates |
| Owner-occupied share | About 89% | Census ACS estimates |
| Median gross rent, all rented units | $2,579/month | Census ACS 2019–2023 5-yr estimates (2023 dollars) |
| Median household income, Stone Ridge CDP specifically | $187,563 | Census ACS estimates |
With owner-occupancy running near nine in ten units, rental supply in this specific submarket comes disproportionately from individually owned condos and townhomes listed by their owners or by small property managers, not from one or two large complex operators. That has a practical effect on your search: a listing here can disappear within days, and that pace reflects the small-supply structure of the market rather than a rare deal you nearly missed.
Getting around: transit built into the community
| Facility | Spaces | Address | Service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dulles South Park and Ride | 250 | Village Center Plaza, Stone Ridge | Silver Line bus connections |
| Dulles South II (Stone Ridge II) Park and Ride | 300 | Millstream Drive, Aldie | Routes 281/681, 282/682 to DC, Rosslyn, Pentagon, Crystal City |
| Loudoun County Transit Route 382 | n/a | Connects the community to Loudoun Gateway Metrorail Station | Local circulator |
| Bicycle lockers | n/a | Both Dulles South lots | Rentable through Loudoun County Commuter Services |
Free parking at both lots removes a cost that renters commuting from denser parts of Northern Virginia often don’t budget for: a monthly garage space near a DC-area job center can run well over $100. The Village Center itself, completed in 2005 and totaling 135,267 square feet, anchored by a Harris Teeter, sits within walking distance of both lots, so grocery runs and the morning commute share the same stretch of road.
What renting inside the HOA actually involves
| Property type | Assessment driver | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Single-family (Savannah, Cedarwood) | Higher monthly assessment | Includes yard maintenance |
| Townhome | Separate private-street fee | County-classified private streets: snow removal, repairs, reserves |
| Condominium | One combined payment to the management company | Management company remits the per-unit fee to the Association |
| Any type, at settlement | One-time Contribution to Working Capital | Equal to two months’ assessment |
A tenant doesn’t sign the Stone Ridge Association agreement; the landlord does. Even so, a renter’s household is bound by the same amenity, parking, and exterior-modification rules an owner-occupant would follow. Ask your landlord for the current rules and regulations packet before signing, since move-in day is the wrong time to discover a restriction on where you can park a second car.
Which HOA rules most commonly trip up renters here?Parking (guest and second-vehicle limits) and exterior changes (satellite dishes, storage sheds, visible modifications) generate the most renter disputes, according to the Association’s own published rules; both are worth confirming with your landlord in writing before you sign.
Virginia tenant law specifics that apply here
The Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act caps a security deposit at two months’ rent and requires the landlord to return it, itemized, within 45 days of move-out. Late fees are capped at 10% of the periodic rent, with a mandatory five-day grace period before any late fee applies. Two changes matter for anyone signing a lease in Stone Ridge this year: starting July 1, 2026, the notice period for nonpayment of rent extends from 5 to 14 days before a landlord can file an unlawful detainer action, and landlords must now accept rent by check or money order in addition to electronic payment, with at least one fee-free option, per amendments signed by Governor Spanberger. A further change lands in 2027: starting July 1 of that year, landlords must give 90 days’ written notice before any rent increase, with a renewal deadline no sooner than 30 days after that notice.
How much notice must a Virginia landlord give before raising rent or not renewing a lease?A landlord must give 60 days’ notice of nonrenewal under current law. A separate 90-day notice requirement specific to rent increases takes effect July 1, 2027, under HB678.
Schools serving Stone Ridge and Aldie addresses
Stone Ridge sits within Loudoun County Public Schools, and the 20105 zip code alone hosts more than a dozen public and private schools with mailing addresses inside it, including Buffalo Trail, Arcola, Aldie, Goshen Post, and Pinebrook elementary schools, Mercer Middle School, and John Champe and Lightridge high schools. Because the community is large and spans several attendance zones, no single school covers the whole neighborhood. LCPS maintains an official boundary locator for exactly this reason; check a specific street address there rather than assuming a name attached to the zip code applies to your unit.
Which schools serve Stone Ridge, VA addresses?It depends on the exact street. LCPS’s boundary locator assigns elementary, middle, and high schools by parcel, and Stone Ridge spans more than one zone for each level.
For investors and buyers: build-out status
According to a Loudoun-focused brokerage that tracks the community, Stone Ridge has more than 2,600 homes completed against roughly 3,500 approved, meaning new inventory, and new competitive rental supply, is still arriving years after the Village Center opened in 2005. A submarket still absorbing new construction tends to see rent growth held in check relative to an already built-out one, because new units keep entering the comparison set. That single figure comes from one brokerage source and has not been cross-checked against Loudoun County planning filings.
Common mistakes when searching for or renting here
- Searching just “Stone Ridge apartments”: confirm the state and the 20105 zip code in the listing address before contacting a leasing office or owner.
- Skipping the HOA paperwork: request the current rules and regulations packet before signing, not after you’ve already moved furniture in.
- Assuming one school covers the whole community: confirm the exact address against the LCPS locator.
- Budgeting only one month for a deposit: Virginia permits up to two months, so ask a specific landlord which figure applies before you set aside savings.
- Using an outdated notice timeline: any nonpayment notice still citing a 5-day window after July 1, 2026, no longer matches Virginia law.
