If you are looking for a "forest" to live in and you still want to be able to commute to work at Fort Belvoir, the Pentagon or any installation in the Military District of Washington then you might want to check out the "forests" in Springfield.
Okay that might have been a bit cheesy but the developers who built the numerous neighborhoods with "Forest" in their name did leave plenty of trees. Over the years they have continued to grow and provide each neighborhood a leafy canopy and beautiful displays of colors in our changing seasons.
Is it Cardinal Forest, Newington Forest or Rolling Forest that catches your attention? Or perhaps you would prefer Danbury Forest, Leewood Forest or Monticello Forest? I'm sure you can see where this is going. In fact you can find at least 16 communities with "forest" in their name and there is a chance that I've missed one or two. What I haven't missed is watching most of these neighborhoods mature over the years and having owned a home in every zip code in Springfield, I've lived in my share of them too.
From the smallest community of Park Forest with only 13 townhouses to the largest condominium community of Cardinal Forest with over 1000 units you can find communities of just about any size that you like. If you are looking for amenities you will find most neighborhoods have pools and tennis courts available.
As a Fairfax County resident you can also enjoy South Run Recreation Center, Burke Lake Park, Lake Accotink, Hidden Pond and dozens of community parks scatterd throughout the area. Commuting options abound with the metro, VRE, commuter lots, bus lines and slug routes scattered throughout the area. 
If you are thinking you might be interested in living in a "forest" this year give me a call. We can meet to talk over your options and see if this year is the right time for you to buy a new home. And if living in a "forest" isn't for you, don't worry Springfield has plenty of "woods" and other great neighborhoods as well.
