The Potomac River is parallel to the George Washington Parkway. Even during the colder seasons, wildlife can be seen in their natural habitat. For example, in the picture below are birds resting on the bank of the Potomac.
The George Washington Parkway extends towards bridges to the District of Columbia, from the historic location of George Washington's home. The Potomac River separates the other side of a different state, Maryland (where Nesbitt Realty is also licensed). The George Washington Parkway has exits perpendicular to it, including Belle Haven, Belle View, Stratford Landing, etc.
The Potomac River is home to birds
Kingstowne is a relatively new planned community. Kingstowne is near a man made body of water that is surrounded with paved sidewalks that connect to amenities.
An advantage to Kingstowne's new planned community, are the many retail establishments that serve this part of Fairfax County. For example, there is a Game Stop, a Walmart, a Ross, a Safeway, a movie theater, and many restaurants that vary in price from Uno's to Bone Fish to East Moon to Moby Dick, etc. For nearby nightlife there is Top Golf, which is a popular place for it's driving range and bar.

Voting in Virginia
Election day took place on November 4, 2014. The voting at WPHS was busy with politically active citizens. The voting was done on a sheet of paper which was then scanned by a machine.
The voting all took place in a cafeteria. To vote, identification was first presented and a ballot was given before a station was assigned. Outside of the cafeteria sample ballots were offered from both Republicans and Democrats.

Wow! I just got this from Jeremy W. This really makes me proud to work with Nesbitt Realty.
Howdy Mr. Nesbitt--
Belle View is in Alexandria
I wanted to take a moment to highlight the exceptional service I received from one of your agents, Ben Fornshell. Within a few hours of emailing Ben, we made an appointment to meet the following day in order to tour Belle Haven. After meeting up at your office, we walked along the well-kept streets while Ben shared some of his experiences with the community; calmly strolling through a neighborhood on a sunny day while viewing properties is not a typical experience when searching for a new home. After touring several, I stepped into one particular unit and realized I was home. Ben walked me through the particulars before we parted. Later that day, he met with me a second time, well after working hours, to show the unit to my skeptical wife.
She eagerly concurred and five days later, we signed the lease--beating out several other applicants largely because of how well-prepared our package was. Ben's relaxed and informative approach was a sea-change to the aggressive apartment-pushers usually lurking in real estate and is a great credit to your business and profession.
Further, his stance made it more than clear that he wasn't merely looking to push someone into a vacant unit: he was assisting a new neighbor.
Please convey my very great appreciation for his hard work and dedication. If you'd like to post this message anywhere online, please feel free; I only ask that you omit my last name for privacy.
Here are five steps to developing a great relationship with a remodeling contractor.
1. Let the contractor know if you are ready to remodel or just kicking the tires. Gary Palmer, a Charlotte, N.C.-based general contractor, says seeking multiple bids is fine, but don’t waste his or her time by letting the bidding process drag on for weeks.
2. Do your homework. Before seeking bids, develop two files. One should include information, including photos, of what you like. The other should include a list of what you don’t like.
3. Listen to the experts. A good contractor can tell you whether the project is feasible and what the pay off will be.
4. Communicate your budget. Let the contractor know up front how much money you intend to spend.
5. Be realistic and patient. Every remodeling project is messy and all of them are going to be frustrating somewhere along the way.
