Miller & Smith, a premier homebuilder in Northern Virginia, announces the successful completion of its highly acclaimed 55+ community, Cascades at Embrey Mill. Situated within the master-planned Embrey Mill community, Cascades was created to provide active adults with a fulfilling lifestyle that meets their evolving needs. Featuring main-level villa homes and exclusive amenities, this neighborhood has been a sought-after destination for 55+ homebuyers.
The community’s recognition includes winning two significant honors at the 2023 Greater American Living Awards (GALA), hosted by the Virginia Building Industry Association’s Washington Metropolitan Sales & Marketing Council. Miller & Smith was awarded for Best Design & Architecture for its villa homes and Best Interior Merchandising for the Rainier model, highlighting its leadership in crafting superior homes.
“We identified a need for homes designed for those transitioning to the next phase of life. Our villa homes at Cascades offered residents the ability to enjoy main-level living while staying close to the community they love,” said Tom Hyde, Chief Operating Officer for Miller & Smith. “We also served grandparents wanting to live nearer to their grandchildren and retiring military and government personnel who sought a home in a vibrant, family-friendly area.”

Embrey Mill has become a preferred location for families, known for its thoughtful amenities and warm community atmosphere. Cascades enriched this dynamic by catering specifically to the 55+ market. The villa homes were designed with key features that allow residents to age comfortably in place, ensuring long-term satisfaction.
A standout aspect of Cascades at Embrey Mill is the 55+ clubhouse, The Embrey House, which Miller & Smith constructed as a central gathering spot for residents. This facility includes indoor and outdoor spaces specifically designed for active adults, hosting events that foster community interaction.
“The Embrey House has become the heart of the community, with frequent events bringing neighbors together,” Hyde stated. “The outdoor areas are just as vibrant, providing a welcoming space for socializing and connection.”
Hyde attributed the success of Cascades to the combination of exceptional design, quality construction, and community-centric planning. “Newland and Brookfield developed Embrey Mill into one of the top master-planned communities in Northern Virginia, especially in Stafford,” said Hyde. “Our dedication to designing homes for the 55+ demographic played a key role in the project’s success.”
