What Buyers Should Know
Woodbridge is an unincorporated Prince William CDP on the eastern edge — County Board governs, not a town council. Many garden condos and townhomes have mandatory associations, so get the resale certificate early. Public water and sewer through Service Authority is standard inside the CDP — no well or septic to chase. RPA review applies for Occoquan River and Neabsco Creek — piers and bulkheads need tidal wetlands sign-off.

What Sellers Should Know
