What's on the market today in Waverly Woods West?

What is Waverly Woods West 55+ in Marriottsville, MD?

Waverly Woods West is a 462-home 55+ community off Marriottsville Road at Barnsley Way, close to I-70. NVR Homes built it between about 2012 and 2017, and the homes come in three styles: Waverly Mews elevator condos, townhome-style villas and detached single-family homes.

Every owner belongs to both homeowner associations, and the pools are run together. The Mews condos add a condo association on top of that for building insurance and exterior upkeep. That layering matters when you compare fees between a condo, a villa and a detached home, which I cover below. Source: Waverly Woods West community website.

Waverly Woods Golf Club, a public 18-hole course, is nearby at I-70 and Marriottsville Road.

How much do homes cost at Waverly Woods West?

Recent sales ran about $370,000 for a Mews condo, about $650,000 for a villa and $875,000 to $1.1 million for a detached home. The gap is mostly size and lot, because the detached homes are far larger.

Prices move, so treat these as a snapshot and ask me for the latest sold homes before you set a budget. Source: MLS data as of October 28, 2026.

What are the monthly fees at Waverly Woods West?

Fees run about $212 to $238 a month for villas and detached homes, and about $400 to $530 combined for a Mews condo, which pays two fees. Condo owners and homeowners don't pay the same amount, so don't compare one number across the whole community.

Here's what the fees go toward.

At closing there's also a one-time capital contribution to the association, about $500 for a home, and a Mews condo adds a building contribution that brings it to roughly $1,150 to $1,250.

I'd verify what the fees will be for the specific home before you make an offer. Each association has a community manager we can contact to get the exact numbers. Ask for the resale package and the contact info for the associations, plus the latest budget and reserve study. The reserve study tells you whether a big special assessment could be coming. In Maryland, a condo buyer gets a 7-day window to cancel after receiving the condo documents, and an HOA buyer gets 5 days to review resale documents, so you have time to read them.

How does Waverly Woods West compare to other 55+ communities nearby?

Village Crest and Snowden Overlook are attached homes and condos. Waverly Woods West adds detached single-family homes, along with the villas and elevator condos, so it's the one where you can keep a yard without leaving 55+ living.

Three questions sort it out quickly:

• Do you want a detached home, or are you ready for the lower upkeep of a villa or condo?
• Do you want a gate? Snowden Overlook is gated, and Waverly Woods West is not.
• Do you want to be near I-70 and Marriottsville Road, or closer to Columbia and Ellicott City?

If you're also looking at Ellicott City and Columbia, compare it with Village Crest, Snowden Overlook and Bethany Glen. The Courtyards at Waverly Woods East, on the other side of Marriottsville Road in Woodstock, is a separate 55+ community, so its fees and rules don't carry over.

Should I sell my house first before buying at Waverly Woods West?

For most buyers, the sale of the current home drives the budget, so I start there. Not every move needs to be sell-first, but you should know which one you're doing before you tour.

Not sure what your current home is worth? You can check your home value here before you start touring.

Waverly Woods West usually has just a handful of homes on the market, so good ones go under contract quickly. That favors buyers who already know their number and have their own house priced and ready to sell. A short call with me before you start touring saves you from falling for a home you can't close on.

What do people ask about Waverly Woods West?

Is Waverly Woods West really 55+? Yes, it's age restricted to 55+. Like most 55+ communities, it has an occupancy rule, and the exact wording can differ from one community to another depending on what the county approved when it signed off on the development. I help clients confirm the exact rule in the governing documents before they write an offer, because it affects who can live in the home full time.

The county's 55+ list and some websites call it The Courtyards at Waverly Woods, and the MLS and the HOA call it Waverly Woods West.
