Jefferson Manor Park is located just off Telegraph Road near the US Capital Beltway.
Jefferson Manor is a community of well-built townhouses located in Fairfax County Virginia in close proximity to the Huntington Metro.

Jefferson Manor Park provides green space for the community. Jefferson Manor is served by Mount Eagle Elementary School, Twain Middle School and Edison High School.

The Washington, D.C. area has emerged from the recent recession with Northern Virginia leading the way, a George Mason University economist recently told local Realtors.
George Mason University economist Stephen Fuller said the economic recovery has been underway for about 17 months and is stronger than analysts expected.
He pointed to bright spots for the No. Virginia economy:
1) Employment: Fuller said the manufacturing segment has led the economy out of the downturn with increased hiring for 17 months in a row. Gross domestic product is higher now than when the recession started in November 2007.
2) Housing Shortage: He also predicted a future housing shortage for the region.
According to Fuller, the area likely will absorb about 700,000 more people in coming decades and needs to build about 35,000 housing units per year to keep up with demand.
While some apartment developers may err on the side of overbuilding, Fuller said more condominiums and smaller townhouses and single-family house are being built. The number of larger single-family developments is declining
But don’t uncork the champagne just yet. He also said consumer confidence remains low, despite the good economic news.
Woodmark is a community located in Woodbridge, VA, in Prince William County. Its situated right off of Old bridge Road. The townhouses look about mid-sized, maybe a little smaller. The homes are so diverse looking, with many different styles and colors. The streets are wide enough for extra parking on the side of the road. The up-keep of the community is pretty decent. Belmont Bay is also located very close to I-95, route 1, and route 123, making commuting at least a little easier.The appearance of the homes isn't very attractive on the outside but the neighborhood seems to be pretty quiet and pleasant overall.
