Kings Park-Another Generation Sees The Value Of This Springfield Neighborhood

Cindy Jones-Northern Virginia Real Estate & Military Relocation Services: Real Estate Agent in Woodbridge, VA

Kings Park HomesIt isn't hard to figure out what the developer of Kings Park was planning when they laid out the plan for the community and the homes. With one look at the street names Thames, Victoria, Trafalgar and Cromwell among others you might think you have made a trip back to England. Then when you add the names of the five original models; King, Queen, Princess, Duke and Duchess, you realize absolutely there is a royal connection!

My family bought our very first home in Kings Park in 1981. Over the last few weekends I had a wonderful couple out looking for their first home and they have focused in on Kings Park. The same things that were attracted my family to the neighborhood, mature trees, green space, parks, community pool and easy commuting are the same things this couple sees as well.

Since the neighborhood was first built over 40 years ago it has been popular with anyone looking for easy access to the Pentagon, Fort Belvoir or access to DC. Children attend schools in the Lake Braddock School Pyramid and both Northern Virginia Community College and George Mason University are close by. Public bus transportation, a VRE station and slug lines are easy to get to from anywhere in the neighborhood. Homeowners can walk to the Kings Park Shopping Center and even the Kings Park Library branch of the Fairfax County Library System.

When you want to take a break you walk or ride your bike through two different "back" entrances to Lake Accotink or for anyone who likes the challenge of dirt biking the nearby trails through Wakefield Park are considered some of the best in the area. Wakefield Park is also the location for the Audrey Moore Recreation Center where you will find an indoor pool and popular fitness center. During the summer Lake Accotink Park hosts free Friday night summertime concerts which are an absolute hit with everyone. Music ranges through swing, jazz, pop and rock. If you haven't seen your neighbors for a few days chances are you will find them there with a picnic basket and folding chairs

If you are interested in learning more about Kings Park give Cindy Jones and CJ Realty Group a call 703-346-2213. Let me show you why multiple generations have found Kings Park a great place to call home.

Caution, The Littlest Commuters Are Going Back To School

Art Kruschka - Fairfax Prince William Stafford County VA Real Estate Service: Real Estate Agent in Woodbridge, VA
Tuesday, September 7, 2010 marks the opening of the new school year here in Fairfax County. While many of the school commuters are seasoned veterans there is a group of "newbies" every year. However, they all deserve your respect and consideration. The school zone speed limit lights have been on this week to remind us of the upcoming beginning of the school year.
  • The law requires you to stop behind a school bus when their red lights flash.
  • School crossing guards will be out in full force every morning and afternoon at critical intersections. They are there for one reason only - it is to protect our youngest citizens as they walk to and from school. Obey their commands.
  • Be advised Prince William County police officers do monitor traffic regularly at school zones on a rotating basis.

Springfield VA-Still a Wonderful Place to Call Home in Northern Virginia

Cindy Jones-Northern Virginia Real Estate & Military Relocation Services: Real Estate Agent in Woodbridge, VA

Original Yates Village Photo Long before Homer Simpson made the TV town of Springfield famous, before the Springfield Interchange was created or Slug lines came to town their was a small ‘country” highway stop fifteen miles outside of DC that would come to be known as Springfield Virginia.

In 1946 the developer Edwin Carr realized that their was a huge piece of undeveloped land, close enough to DC to be appealing to government workers who worked in town and that would provide space for larger homes than were currently available in Arlington or Alexandria. My parents were one of those families who decided that Springfield provided a chance for them to buy their first home. In 1955 they bought a brand new split level home in the Yates Village neighborhood of Springfield.

When we moved in to our new home there wasn’t much around us. The only grocery store in the neighborhood was a small store called Bon Foods, there was a drug store with a soda fountain and Fischers Hardware had been open a couple of years.

My parents thought about a bigger house in one of the new West Springfield neighborhoods but in the end they stayed in their original home for 45 years. When I bougt my first house in Kings Park my mother said “who would want to live all they way out there?” Of course "out there" was less than 5 miles away. Over the years my family moved around Springfield and lived in Greentree Village, Springfield Oaks, and Charlestown to name a few. My kids laugh about the fact that we have lived in every zip code in Springfield and multiple generations of our family attended Fairfax County Schools.
