Miller & Smith Commemorates 60 Years of Excellence in Brambleton’s Award-Winning Active-Adult Community

Marking six decades in the homebuilding industry, Miller & Smith celebrates this milestone within Brambleton’s nationally acclaimed active-adult community in Ashburn, VA. Since 2001, the company has contributed to the neighborhood, appealing particularly to the 55+ market by offering home designs that meet diverse lifestyle needs.

Miller & Smith provides 55+ buyers with a range of four distinct home styles, including spacious elevator single-family homes, one-level living courtyard designs, and luxurious elevator brownstones. This variety caters to different preferences, enabling residents to enjoy amenities that appeal both to the entire Brambleton community and specifically to active adults. Built with a commitment to quality, Brambleton has thrived over the years, winning numerous awards, including the “Best in American Living” award in 2019 at the International Builders’ Show.

“Brambleton is a community with deep connections, attracting buyers with strong ties to both the neighborhood and to Miller & Smith,” says Eric Hansen, Sales Manager at Miller & Smith. “We often see buyers moving closer to family already living in, or current residents looking to age in place within an upgraded home. Our customers trust the Miller & Smith brand for its quality.”

Established in 1964, Miller & Smith has built a reputable name across Northern Virginia and Maryland, helping over 20,000 buyers find their homes across 130 communities. The company’s award-winning approach to homebuilding has earned more than 500 accolades for design and construction. As Hansen highlights, Birchwood’s 55+ residents are familiar with Miller & Smith’s legacy, aligning with their search for a final home.


“Our buyers appreciate the value they receive in a Miller & Smith home. They recognize our reputation, and our communities continue to grow in value,” says Hansen. “Each of our neighborhoods has its own unique style, so we ensure that no two homes are the same across different locations, which minimizes any internal competition.”

For buyers embarking on a new chapter in life, Miller & Smith understands the emotional significance of finding the right home. The company’s emphasis on relationship-building is evident, with many return customers choosing Miller & Smith when they transition to Brambleton. The enduring connection to home, community, and the buying process is what keeps Miller & Smith competitive even after 60 years in the industry.

“When someone finds their home, they should feel it deeply,” adds Hansen. “By actively listening to our clients, we can find the perfect match that suits their next stage in life. Believing in this approach is essential, and I do.
