Part Hope Park - A Neighborhood in Fairfax County, VA

It is not certain how it got its name, but Park Hope Part encompasses an area in Fairfax County around the very large intersection of Braddock Road and the Fairfax Parkway, about half way between Centreville and Fairfax City. George Mason University is a short distance to the east.

The area has seen a large number of bank foreclosures and short sales. This is in part due to the external obsolescence caused by the noise from the two highways.

Virginia Square

Virginia Square, a high-rise condominium in North Arlington, takes its name from the area that sits just between Ballston and Clarendon: "Virginia Square." Built by The Dittmar Group in 1999, it offers three elevators, an exercise room, an exterior pool, a fiesta/meeting room, extra storage, and underground parking.

The Virginia Square market area encompasses many shops and restaurants, the Virginia Square Metro, convenience to Routes 66 and 50, the Arlington Library, and George Mason's Law and Graduate School campuses.
