West Springfield-What Do You Want In Your New Home?

By
Real Estate Agent with Integrity Real Estate Group

In the 1960's one magazine you were likely to see in the mailbox was McCall's.   And if you were a builder in Springfield Virginia you paid attention to what women wanted in their new home.  In the case of Carr Builders their new West Springfield homes had 38 features that women asked for in a new home.

 

West Springfield Ad From 1960's Carr Homes

As this ad from West Springfield points out the new features including a rear staircase from the garage to the kitchen, large dining room and finished recreation room.  The Chatam model also featured 3 fireplaces and all brick construction.  Fast forward to today and the Carr built West Springfield homes are still as popular as they were in the 1960's. 

Part of the appeal is the variety of floorplans and all brick construction.  Owners in West Springfield have easy access to multiple commuting options to DC, Fort Belvoir and other work centers in Northern Virginia.  Close by are resturants and grocery shopping.  The neighborhood is located in the West Springfield High School High School pyramid.

Lets shake things up at your home today!

You're selling the whole package, not just the floor plans or the home, but the community also.  As it should be Cindy.

A lot has changed in the world of advertising, hasn't it?  Those West Springfield homes will stand the test of time though.

Roger-it's a terrific community and homes for sale today don't stay on the market very long.

Pat-that's why design centers are now the size of Lowe's instead of just in the basement of a model home.  The options buyers want in a new home are endless.

Chris Ann-these solid brick homes will be standing long after some newer homes have fallen to the ground.
