The residents of Mount Vernon on the Potomac (MVOP) would like to welcome you to our quiet neighborhood located on Dogue Creek, an offshoot of the Potomac River. We are a community of 113 homes located within walking distance of the Mount Vernon Estate. In 1976, the neighborhood was developed on the grounds of the Seven Oaks Estate, located on one of George Washington’s original five farms. Many of the oak trees that formed the basis of the estate’s name are still standing in the neighborhood. The original home has been restored and was used in the opening scenes of the 1958 film “Houseboat” starring Cary Grant and Sophia Loren.
The most unique feature of our neighborhood is its large private marina and waterfront park. Our amenities include a tennis court, floating dock, boat ramp, canoe racks, bathhouse, and a large picnic area.
We gather for social events throughout the year, including an Easter egg hunt, a pig roast, and Christmas caroling. Many of these gatherings are held on our waterfront park area. Beautiful sunsets highlight the Friday evening happy hours.
MVOP has an active homeowners association and the Board of Directors meets monthly to discuss issues facing the community. We maintain the extensive common areas. Our architectural covenants help to maintain the integrity of the neighborhood. Please contact any member to discuss any questions or concerns.
Are you involved in selling a home in our neighborhood? We have transitioned to Gates Hudson, a management company that is now handling the Resale Packet process. This package contains the governing documents, financials, Reserve Study, Certificates of Insurance, and minutes of meetings and is required by Virginia law. Please visit http://www.homewisedocs.com and establish an account. If you need assistance, Jose Barahona will be able to help. He may be reached at resale@ghacm.com or 703-752-8300 ext 736. There is a $320 fee for the package which must be paid in advance. Once you have ordered the packet Gates Hudson will send the Treasurer an “inspection” report which is a simple one page document that he/she will complete and return to Gates Hudson. It will be part of the resale packet you receive.
