Though most home-buyers looking to purchase in Springfield VA today won't know the model names of the homes they are viewing but for those of us who grew up in Springfield they are etched on our minds.
The Virginian Rambler was the starter home of choice for many families. The home was prevalent in the Crestwood and North Springfield neighborhoods built by Carr in the mid-1950's.
Over the years owners added on to the 1200 SF homes including turning the carport into a garage or family room and replacing the entry closet with a 1/2 bath.
When they were first introduced in Springfield the homes cost just over $16,000. Today you can still find these all brick homes for sale with prices in the mid to $300,000 range.
