If you are driving down Rolling Road between Lake Braddock Road and the Fairfax County Parkway you will pass two communities that look very similar. There is a reason for this similarity. Both communities were built by Richmarr homes starting in the late 1960's and feature the same style brick homes.
Kings Park is the bigger of the two communities with 1100 homes to West Springfield Village's 423 homes but the models are the same, King, Queen, Prince, Duke and Duchess. Besides having the same model homes available in both neighborhoods, Richmarr also left many of the large trees on the quarter to one-third acre lots as well. As a result both neighborhoods have matured with a wonderful canopy of trees for owners.
Both neighborhoods can meet in the middle at the Cardinal Plaza for grocery shopping at Giant or Whole Foods. Kings Park residents also have the Kings Park Shopping Center with a smaller Giant Grocery Store (how is that for an oxymoron?) For neighborhood children the schools are different. Kings Park students attend schools in the Lake Braddock HS Pyramid and West Springfield Village students attend schools in the West Springfield HS Pyramid.

Both neighborhoods have been popular with military families relocating to the area due to the many options for commuting to either the Pentagon or Fort Belvoir. Grab a bus, slug or metro to the Pentagon. You can drive directly to Fort Belvoir down Rolling Road to Route 1 in less than 30 minutes from either community.
If you are thinking of buying or selling your home in either Kings Park or West Springfield Village or anywhere in the Northern Virginia area give me a call. Let's talk about whether now is the right time for you to make a move. No hassle, no pressure just straight talk about our current market.

It has been a wild week in Washington DC. First there was the
There is no doubt that I am not interested in spending much time in 
Chances are you will see a wild bunny or two in your yard in the Saratoga neighborhood in Springfield Virginia. With the pockets of woods scattered throughout the neighborhood you will also see deer and foxes too. The wildlife, nice size lots, the quick hop to Fort Belvoir, nearby shopping, recreation and ease of commuting make Saratoga a neighborhood that stays on the list of popular Springfield neighborhoods.

Quite frankly when you check out the facilities you may want to also stay yourself. With 27,000 square feet the resort is state of the art. For dogs there are 183 suites with automatic drinking fountains and top of the line beds. If you have more than one dog they can bunk together and if you really want to have luxury for your pet you can reserve a luxury suite complete with cable TV or movies.
luxury that the dogs enjoy, cats have a central TV, double decked cages for exercise and litter boxes that are hidden out of sight. With plenty of sunshine for the cats to enjoy and a view of the woods the accommodations would please even the most finicky cat.
