Luxury Living: Lake Manassas

March 6, 2011March 6, 2011Melinda Choi

A quaint golf course community, Lake Manassas is a Gainesville housing community with its own shopping center. The neighborhood offers an impressive array of golf holes and a Clubhouse with delicious food. Lake Manassas has a good compromise of upper-style living retirement homes and large roomy houses for those with young children. The landscape is also very aesthetic; the Home Owner's Association guarantees flowers year round and grass that is always green. A unique feature of the neighborhood is a private road connecting it to the local shopping area. The shopping center includes several shops including Tropical Smoothie Cafe, Bubbles Hair Salon, and Wegmans Grocery. Other stores include Michael's Craft Store, Staples, and Dunkin Donuts.

McLean Virginia: Home of D.C.’s Best

March 6, 2011April 19, 2015Melinda Choi

Found in Northern Virginia, the community of McLean has recently found itself becoming more and more relevant. Housing markets and businesses have begun to emerge in the area, quickly industrializing the region and harvesting its full potential. Located on the outskirts of the District, McLean is a modest compromise between the hustle and bustle of city life and the rural areas of Virginia. Several notable residents call McLean their home; Newt Gingrich (former Speaker of the House of Representatives), Colin Powell (former Secretary of State), and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia have all taken advantage of the area’s prime location. Several corporate officers also live in McLean which also has headquartered companies such as USA Today, Mars, and Freddie Mac. Homes for Sale in Mclean

Carlyle Living

March 5, 2011April 19, 2015Winter H.

United States Patent and Trademark Office — The USPTO's glass cuts a striking line in Alexandria's skyline.

Finding a new place to live in Alexandria might not be as hard as you think. If you are looking for something new and fresh then the Carlyle district might be a great option. This area is located next to Old Town Alexandria but doesn’t take away from the flavor and charm of city living. It includes condos and high rises that are complete with office buildings, restaurants and metro access. Several local businesses are located off of John Carlyle which in include Grant Thornton & the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The options for transportation couldn’t better with easy access to bus stops and the metro. This neighborhood gives access to all the things many commuters and business professionals find important. The dining options are endless and you don’t have to go far. Many of them are a few steps away. I enjoyed walking the streets and often felt as if I was in the middle of rush hour on foot. The streets were lined with business men and women walking from one destination to the other. The great thing about living here is that if you ever have company you can have comfort and knowing that there are hotels minutes away and includes a number of local sites to take them to. If you are interested in finding a new hip, modern, and classy location, you should consider Carlyle. A few locations to check out would be Carlyle Towers, Carlyle Square, and Royalton Condos.

Northern Virginia = Great Healthcare

March 4, 2011May 29, 2015Winter H.

When it comes to selecting a home, there are a number of things that families and individuals consider. Most will say that location, good schools, shopping centers, parks, and safety are all important factors when buying a home. Subsequently, many people also consider access to good healthcare. The Northern Virginia area is a great place that encompasses all of these options. Fairfax County is home to one of the best school systems in the country. There is plenty of access to great shopping and it is in a great location with Washington D.C. being less than thirty minutes away, minus the traffic of course. Another bonus is that it houses some of the best medical care available. Inova Fairfax Hospital is ranked among the best hospitals in the country and is a default trauma center for most surrounding medical centers. They have the ability to handle the most complicated cases and have the updated facilities to treat their patients with cutting edge technology and the best medical treatment. After experiencing my own personal crisis and being hospitalized for over a month, I was transported by ambulance to Fairfax. Although I not previously considered this fact when moving to the area, I was most certainly thankful that I had the option of receiving the caliber of treatment I received during my stay. Great Healthcare most certainly would be at the top of my list if I ever planned on moving to another area, but I don’t.

Their is a playground in the community for the children.

Wessynton: Contemporary homes in a historical setting

March 3, 2011January 5, 2016Ruth Harper

Nine miles south of Old Town is Wessynton, a Mount Vernon community filled with history and contemporary homes. Being located near the Mount Vernon Estate and George Washington’s Grist Mill, it seems only natural that this site would be home to plenty of history. However, this area is particularly heavy with American history and tradition.

George Washington’s Gristmill and Distillery

At one point, Quakers lived on the Wessynton site, which was originally settled by Native Americans. Eventually, George Washington’s half-brother, Lawrence, inherited the land where George Washington built the Mansion House. A South Carolinian restored the Mansion House, at the time in disrepair, shortly before the Civil War. Homes that stand in the area today were built mostly in the 1960s and they tend to have a more contemporary style than other homes in the Mount Vernon area. Architectural features include odd sizes, tall windows and a lack of ornamentation. Wessynton homes tend to enjoy partially or fully furnished basements along with garages and plenty of windows to let in natural light. Plus, community amenities include a boat ramp, common grounds, an outdoor pool, tennis courts, tot lots and playgrounds, making this community a great place for families with children.

The Villages at Rippon Landing

March 2, 2011March 22, 2013Alicia Craft

The Villages at Rippon are located in Woodbridge, Va. They're located right off of route 1, close to I-95. This Community looks very well kept and clean. The townhouses are very large and do have 1-2 car garages. I noticed there are alot of visitor parking spaces which is very convenient, as many townhouse communities have only a few. The townhouses are newly built, which is very noticeable. The neighborhood seemed quiet and pleasant overall.

Reston Waterpark

March 2, 2011March 2, 2011Winter H.

I can think of a number of things my children prefer to do when the weather starts to get warmer. However, since learning how to swim the first thing they ask is to go swimming. I wasn’t all that familiar with my options and the fortunate thing is that many of the subdivisions around here come with clubhouses and swimming pools. Unfortunately, even that can get old to kids. I took a friend up on a suggestion to try a local waterpark in Reston. We had several to choose from and decided to give Water Mine a try. Upon arrival, it was surprising that in a seemingly regular neighborhood a waterpark existed. We drove down this road that looks like we were going into the woods and up popped this waterpark. Obviously with all the screaming my kids were doing, they were definitely excited. We found a place to park and were happy that even though we forgot to pack a lunch they had a concession stand that offered all types of goodies to eat. The pricing was very reasonable and it was a beautiful day to take advantage of the all-day ticket. They had several slide options and the park was arranged in to sections suitable for certain ages. We stayed for a few hours and decided to head home. I asked my kids if they would like to come back and they were excited at just the thought of returning. Although we are still hanging on to the last remnants of Winter, it is good to know that you have options when swimsuit weather returns and you don’t have to go far to enjoy it.
