Lake Forest (aka Lakewood Hills) is an extremely convenient Springfield location just off the Fairfax County Parkway between Hooes Road and Huntsman Boulevard.
Since no Lake Forest homes have sold as yet this year a comparison with 2008 results cannot be made. However, if the 2 homes on the market sell with the same ratios as the 2008 sales the 9% list price decline over 2008 will be better than the current average Fairfax County net sales price 12% decline in 2009 when compared to 2008
