Backing up to the 850 acre Burke Lake Park homeowners in the South Run neighborhood in Fairfax County have the best of both worlds, homes with nature at the back door and yet only minutes to major commuting routes. They also enjoy a neighborhood that captures the spirit of communities from the 1950’s. Where homeowners plan and run dozens of events throughout the year. With BBQ’s and pool parties in the summer, Halloween parties for kids in the fall and holiday events in the winter the neighborhood always has something going on.
With large lots and classic style, the homes in South Run remind you of properties you might find in the pages of Southern Living. Many of the homes feature 2 story foyers, back staircases off the kitchen and sun rooms. Built in the mid 1980’s the strong home owners association has kept the area from undergoing some of the regrettable home expansion found in other area neighborhoods.
When homeowners need more space to roam they can hop on their bikes and head to the Burke Lake Park, Lake Mercer or South Run District Park. If homeowners are looking for quiet place for dinner they can head to the historic towns of Clifton or Occoquan only 15 minutes away. For families with children the neighborhood is served by Silverbrook Elementary School and the new South County Secondary School.
With easy access to the Fairfax County Parkway and Lee Chapel Road the neighborhood has easy connection to major commuting routes for the trip into DC, Fairfax City or Reston.
