Embrey Mill

North Stafford · Stafford County, Virginia

Embrey Mill is a planned North Stafford community near I-95, with detached homes and townhomes arranged among neighborhood parks, nature trails and shared gathering places. Its outdoor spaces range from active playgrounds and dog parks to quieter parks and a resident garden. Cascades is a distinct 55+ section within the larger community, rather than a designation for all of Embrey Mill.

Embrey Mill and North Stafford

Embrey Mill’s neighborhoods are organized around parks, trails and gathering places, including Embrey House and Knight Meeting House. Individual parks have different uses: some have active play spaces, while others provide quieter places to sit or walk. The community garden is beside Dogwood Dog Park.

The surrounding North Stafford area adds other recreation options, including the Jeff Rouse Swim & Sport Center and Embrey Mill Park on Mine Road. These are separate from the residential community’s facilities. Historic Aquia Church is another nearby Stafford landmark, outside Embrey Mill.

Pool-only membership at the Rouse Center

The Rouse Center offers pool-only memberships with access to its three pools, lap lanes and aquatic fitness classes. Its website has current membership options and separate pool schedules. Membership is arranged directly with the center.
