Insiders Guide-Kingstowne (VA) Big Enough to Be a City but It's Not - 04/11/09 03:02 PM
Recently I've noticed that some agents have created a "new city" in Fairfax County by the name of Kingstowne. For buyers who are seaching for a new home this can be a bit confusing.Kingstowne is not a city of its own even though it certainly is larger than some cities in our area. In fact Kingstowne is a planned community with a postal address of Alexandria but it is located in Fairfax County. With over 5200 residences it is one of the biggest planned communities in Fairfax County but it doesn't have it's own mayor or governing authority. It does have a very … (0 comments)
