Bull Run is one of Centreville's most established residential neighborhoods — a mature, tree-canopied community of single-family homes on quarter-acre-plus lots, with walking access to the Bull Run Library, Centreville Regional Library, and a network of older Centreville cul-de-sacs that have been holding multi-generational families for decades. The Bailey Team is family-owned since 1970, in Northern Virginia since 1988, and Centreville is home.

Your Neighbor, Your Broker
The Bailey Team lives in Centreville and works Bull Run regularly. The character of this neighborhood — mature trees, established lots, original-owner inventory turning over to next-generation buyers — is something most agents farming Centreville miss because they don't actually walk these streets. We do.
About Bull Run
Bull Run is a predominantly single-family detached community built largely in the 1970s and 1980s, with later infill construction along the perimeter. Lot sizes typically run quarter- to half-acre — larger than the newer Centreville master-planned communities — with mature tree canopy that's filled in over the decades.
The architectural style runs colonial, split-level, and ranch, reflecting the era of original construction. Many homes have been updated through one or two renovation cycles; the inventory includes both original-condition homes ready for the next buyer's vision and fully renovated turn-key properties.
Schools (Centreville HS Pyramid)
Bull Run is in the Centreville High School pyramid:
- Bull Run Elementary School — anchor elementary school within the neighborhood
- Liberty Middle School or Stone Middle School depending on boundary
- Centreville High School — comprehensive high school with strong academics, athletics, and arts
School boundaries can shift; we always confirm current FCPS assignments for any specific home before contract.

Why Bull Run
Mature character no new construction can replicate
Bull Run's mature trees, established lots, and decades-deep community fabric are exactly what new construction can't deliver. For buyers who want character and a sense of permanence, Bull Run is one of Centreville's best options.
Larger lots than newer Centreville communities
Quarter- to half-acre lots versus the smaller townhome-adjacent lots in newer Centreville masterplans. More yard, more separation between homes, more privacy.
Walking access to Bull Run Library and parks
The Bull Run Regional Library, Centreville Regional Library, and a network of green space and walking paths are integrated into the neighborhood — something Centreville residents have grown to value.
Renovation upside
For buyers with vision and renovation budget, Bull Run's original-condition inventory offers some of the strongest renovation upside in Centreville. The bones are good; the finishes are dated. The arbitrage between bought-and-renovated price and finished value is real.
