SPRINGFIELD VA REAL ESTATE TOUR OF HOMES AND SUBDIVISIONS

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Executives

16 Springfield subdivisions were selected to demonstrate the wide variety of homes that are available to meet the needs of a broad section of the population. One of the main attractions of Springfield is that it projects a genuine sense of a well established, mature community that is not apparent in more recently developed areas.  Since Springfield is not an incorporated town or city, its' services are provided by the Fairfax County form of government.

 When you click on the subdivision links you will see photos, prices and other pertinent information regarding the particular subdivision. 

 

CARDINAL FOREST    CARDINAL FOREST CONDOMINIUMS    CHARLESTOWN    DAVENTRY    GREENTREE VILLAGE    KINGS PARK    LAKE FOREST 

MIDDLE VALLEY    NEWINGTON FOREST    ORANGE HUNT ESTATES    RHYGATE    SARATOGA    SOUTH RUN FOREST    WEST SPRINGFIELD VILLAGE

WESTWATER POINT    WINTER FOREST   

 

 COMMUTING
Springfield is at the junction of three of the most heavily travelled commuter routes in Northern Virginia, I-95, I-395 and I-495.  EASE OF COMMUTING is one of the many factors that contributes to the popularity of Springfield.  In our 31 years as Realtors my husband and I have witnessed firsthand the tremendous amount of improvement that has been made and continues to be made.  For example, construction will begin pretty soon on HOT LANES on both I-495, I-95 and I-395.

 

 

 SCHOOLS
Fairfax County is known to have one of the finest public school systems in the country.  It is the 13th largest with a $2.2 billion budget, 85.7% pf which is spent on instructional programs. VIEW STATISTICS.

Many realtors either do not list schools for a particular address or they list an incorrect school in their listing.  I always check SCHOOL LOCATOR

Four of the high schools are SPRINGFIELD SCHOOLS.   You can find more detailed and unbiased information about the entire system can be found at  FAIRFAX COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS

 

  

 

SHOPPING 
Availability of neighborhood shopping facilities is an important consideration when deciding on a home purchase.  There is no question that Springfield has an abundance of shopping centers usually giving homeowners several options convenient to their home.  SEE SHOPPING CENTER LOCATIONS. The national and local chains are well represented as well as local retailers such as FISCHER'S HARDWARE.  We even have a WHOLE FOODS MARKET in The Old Keene Mill Center at Old Keene Mill and Rolling Roads.

 

 

 

 


PARKS
Similar to our schools, Fairfax County has an excellent park system that strives to protect the environment and, at the same time, provide a county-wide system to maximize the ability of we citizens to enjoy our favorite recreational activities.  Four of the major parks serve the SPRINGFIELD AREA 

For county-wide information I recommend you also visit FAIRFAX COUNTY PARKS for a complete list of parks by type, individual park websites and park locators showing lakes, golf courses, rec centers, bike and walking trails, nature trails, boat rentals, equestrian centers, etc.

 

 

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES 
One of the very popular annual activities in Springfield is SPRINGFIELD DAYS.  Another active community service organization is the ROTARY CLUB OF WEST SPRINGFIELD 

SPRINGFIELD AIRPORT  Yes, there was a SPRINGFIELD AIRPORT 

IN CONCLUSION
Over the past 31 years my husband and I have served many buyers and sellers in Springfield.  I doubt there are many real estate brokers with more experience and in-depth knowledge of the community.  CONTACT ME at 703-562-1532  or email me if we can assist you with Springfield real estate.
