A tiny waterfront town surrounded by Marine Corps Base Quantico, with Amtrak and VRE service and a very short list of homes.
The Town of Quantico is a very small town, with 578 people at the 2020 Census and only 0.07 square miles. It is surrounded by Marine Corps Base Quantico, whose tenants include HMX-1, the FBI Academy and Lab and Officer Candidates School.
There are no major highways through town, and all road traffic enters through the base. A valid ID is required.
Amtrak and VRE both stop at Quantico station.
Quantico Creek and the Potomac River bound the town.
The town sits inside Marine Corps Base Quantico.
The town’s Municipal Office is on 5th Avenue, and the town runs its own water. The National Museum of the Marine Corps is a short drive away in Triangle.
The word Quantico comes from Pamacocack, the name of a Doeg tribe village meaning “by the long stream.” Around 1690 a mill was built at the mouth of Quantico Creek. During the Revolutionary War, Quantico was the main naval base for Virginia’s fleet. The area was formerly known as Potomac and Evansport. The town’s main street is shown here in a January 1925 photograph.
Figures for Town of Quantico and Prince William County. Quantico is very small, and I could not find enough reliable data to quote a median price for the town. County figures are shown for context.
Very limited. Quantico is a small town surrounded by the base, so new construction is generally nearby rather than within the town, in places like Triangle and Dumfries.
Sources are listed at the bottom of this page. Ask me for current prices and what is on the market right now.
Quantico has very limited housing inventory, so buyers commonly look in the surrounding communities as well.
Here are the providers I could confirm for Quantico: water, sewer, power, gas, internet and trash. Where there is more than one option, I list them all.
