If a miniature train or carousel is not allowed where you live in Northern Virginia you can find both the train and carousel at Burke Lake Park in Springfield VA along with Disc Golf. There is miniature golf, 4.7 miles of hiking trails, boating, fishing, camping, an 18 hole golf course, playgrounds, volleyball courts, picnic shelters and a cute ice cream parlor. It is one of the most popular parks in Northern Virginia.

burke: BURKE CENTRE AND I STARTED AT THE SAME TIME - 12/18/07 01:31 AM
Developers began working on Burke Centre in 1976 - the same year my husband and I were licensed to sell real estate.  Over the years we have both matured.  In our case, Arthur and I have sold many homes to and for people in the Burke area.
During that time we have invested in several Burke properties for our own portofolio. 
Some of the major improvements we have seen impact on Burke in the past 31 years are
VRE has come to town
Fairfax County Parkway has facilitated commuting to the east and west
Shopping  As you may know the shopping options in Burke Centre were very limited … (0 comments)

burke: IS BURKE STILL A GOOD INVESTMENT? - 12/17/07 06:52 AM

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In 1978 my husband and I bought this two level town home on Burke Manor Court for $46,000.  We had only been real estate agents for 1.5 years and it was our first investment property.  We were as proud as we could possibly be.  It was just a few steps from the railroad tracks and Burke Lake Road had not been relocated yet.
This year those homes are selling for approximately $300,000.  There is no question a 650% increase over 29 years is very satisfactory.  We have long since sold this home and have invested in others over the years.
It is still a … (0 comments)

burke: Burke Fairfax County Virginia 22015 - 09/30/07 09:47 PM

While Burke is not an incorporated town or city in Fairfax County, it is a very special area of the county with its' own unique identity and history .
Like much of Northern Virginia the area now known as Burke can be traced back to land originally owned by Lord Fairfax.  In the early 18th century he made land grants to families including Henry Ward.  Ward built Burke's first house, portions of which were incorporated into the Woods community center in Burke Centre.  Hannah Ward married Silas Burke, a wealthy landowner in the Burke area.  In addition to increasing the family's holdings to more … (0 comments)

burke: Wild Turkey or Virginia Gentleman? - 09/10/07 08:03 AM
Many people think bourbon must be made in Kentucky just as Vidalia onions must be grown in Vidalia, GA.  Wrong, wrong, wrong !!!  The folks in Lynchburg, TN know that, but they are not the only ones who make bourbon outside the state of Kentucky, because bourbon is also made in Fredericksburg, VA. Virginia Gentleman Bourbon is produced by the A. Smith Bowman Distillery
 Although the distillery is located in Fredericksburg it started producing bourbon in Northern Virginia in what is now Reston, Virginia.  Adam Smith Bowman purchased a dairy farm in that section of Fairfax County in 1927,  He went into … (1 comments)

burke: "BIG YELLOW" is Coming!!!! - 08/30/07 05:57 AM
For some of you it has already happened.  However, for most of us on Tuesday September 4th BIG YELLOW will start delivering people's "heirs and assigns" to and from school.  Being careful with our driving anytime is just another opportunity for us to serve our community responsibly.  Of course, BIG YELLOW alerts us to this at the start of the new school year

burke: Twofold Virtual Tour Approach - 08/27/07 09:22 AM
Most REALTORS provide a Virtual Tour for their listings.  It has been my experience the vast majority of them are a collection of still photos uploaded to their Multiple Listing System software.  I create panoramic action shots both inside and outside the home.  The software I use allows me to have as many as 50 photos enabling me to add points of interest such as schools, libraries, parks, local shopping centers, pools, bus and subway stops, etc.
THE TWOFOLD APPROACH IS THAT
Each of my Virtual Tours has their own URL I own a domain that has a link to the … (1 comments)
