Calling all Baby Boomers and Empty Nester's in Alexandria, Virginia this Blog is for you!
As a buyer specialist I was so very excited to see the sign go up for this project! The community will be located just north The Wegmans at the Hilltop Shopping Center on Telegraph Road.
Hilltop Shopping center anchored by Wegmans has become a vibrant part of the community. From the benches just outside of Burtons Bar and Grill give you a great view of what once was Hilltop Golf! The new adult community will be just north of Hilltop Shopping center on the left before you get to Jeff Todd's Way. Many baby boomers enjoy getting out for dinner and this will be an ideal location to be able to shop, dine and even visit your local doctor or your hair dresser!
Here is more about the Hilltop Shopping Center it has everything one would need and more! Have you tried Wegmans Pub it is wonderful and they even offer a Sunday Brunch! I never thought I would say I was excited to go have dinner at the grocery store but Wegmans is not your typical grocery store. I enjoy heading over and having lunch once in awhile. They have everything from fresh made subs, pizza, sushi and plenty of hot and cold bars to choose from.
The scoop on the new 55+ community it will be known as The Crest of Alexandria
The new 55+ plus senior living community will be built on a portion of land once owned by Hilltop Golf and had been known as Piney Run. For more history on the land click here. The community will feature Active Adult living and will have the 55+ designation but will not be a gated community. From what I have read it will feature 32 single family patio homes. 103 town homes featuring elevators and two car garages and 124 condo style apartments. It will encompass 43+ acres and will have plenty of dedicated green space outdoor gardens and gathering spaces.
This type of community is so needed in the area that I have no doubt sales will be brisk. I have customers I work daily who are baby boomers looking to find a home that will satisfy their need for active urban style living but with the ease of no stairs. If you are thinking this may be a good option for you please reach out to me and let's look at your full situation. We can put a plan together to get you in a position to choose one of these as soon as they are introduced. This community is going to sell out quickly I have no doubt.
The site plan below is from the The Crest community web site page
Van Metre will build the single family abd town homes. Craftmark will join Van Metre and will also offer town homes at The Crest of Alexandria. Christopher Companies will build the apartment style condos in the community. These builders have long standing excellent reputations in Northern Virginia and you can be assured this will be the type of community you have hoped for. This community is coming at the right time for this area.
I drove by there today and saw the evidence of activity in the form of tree save areas being marked. This indicates clearing is going to get under way in the near future. I look forward to reporting the progress as I see it and please feel free to reach out to me should you have questions.

January 11th 2017 Update -when I originally wrote this post the community sign and clearing had just started that was August 2016. There has not been much progress on the site other than clearing at this time. Once we see the improvements on the land for water and sewer lines we will then see curb and gutter. That is when you can expect pre-sales to begin with builder product line and pricing. It will be interesting to see what they introduce for sale first. Subscribe to my blog here and I will keep you updated on the progress.
