The Bottom Line
Heritage Hunt wins on amenity scale, golf, and social programming. Liberty Grove wins on location character — Old Town Manassas proximity is genuinely unique in the PWC 55+ market. Your choice depends almost entirely on whether golf and a large resort community or a small community near a walkable historic town matters more to you.
