Purcellville, Virginia: Western Loudoun’s Small-Town Heart

About nine miles west of Leesburg, Purcellville is the hub of western Loudoun County — a close-knit town with a historic downtown, the western end of the W&OD Trail, and countryside, vineyards and the Blue Ridge all around it. Buyers come for space, character and strong community ties, with Route 7 connecting them to Leesburg and the Dulles corridor.
