Harrisonburg Neighborhood Tour: Willow West

Willow West is located in Dayton, Virginia, which is a few miles south of Harrisonburg, actually, but many residents commute the short drive to Harrisonburg for work. This neighborhood is tucked away on the northwest side of the Town of Dayton, and consists of two quiet streets — Willow Drive and Northview Street — each ending in a cul de sac.

Homes in Willow West are typically large Colonial or Cape Cod style homes, constructed with either brick or vinyl (or a mixture of the two). Most of these homes are situated on lots from about 1/3 to 1/2 acre in size, contain maturing trees, have garages, and several have front or wraparound porches. This neighborhood was established in the early 1990’s and there are still a few vacant lots left for those who would like the opportunity to build their dream home.

Some homes in Willow West have the most amazing views of the countryside and western mountains, and some even have views of Massanutten Peak!
