Newington Forest is a 734 acre community in southern Springfield, with over 1800 homes. The community boasts its own elementary school, a swimming pool complete with NVSL swim team-The Newington Neptunes, 6 tennis courts, 13 tot lots, a ballfield, and hiking/biking trails that wind their way in and through the community. More than 50% of the 734 acres is set aside specifically for common area.
Newington Forest is just minutes from I-95 and the Fairfax County Parkway (7100). Public transportation can't be beat either. There Lorton VRE (http://www.vre.org/service/lort.htm) is right around the corner, as is the Franconia/Springfield Station of the Metro's Blue Line (http://www.wmata.com/metrorail/Stations/station.cfm?station=95). The Fairfax Connector picks up throughout the community and drops off at the Franconia/Springfield Metro (http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/connector/pdf/Rt_305web.pdf). Plus, there's even a good deal of "slugging" that happens here (http://www.slug-lines.com/).
Children attend Newington Forest Elementary and, unless boundary lines change, they will attend South County Secondary, the new school that opened its doors in September of 2005. (www.fcps.org)
The neighborhood is minutes away from a number of exciting new amenities including the Laurel Hill Golf Club, and coming soon the Lorton Arts Foundation (http://www.lortonarts.org/). The Lorton Arts Foundation is having its Grand Opening September 19th-27th.
