[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you want community in/around Fairfax, I'd like to suggest some neighborhoods in 22032: Kings Park West, Country Club View, and Middleridge.  We are in Middleridge but I would happily live in those other neighborhoods.  You can find some lots that are .35 - CCV has some that are up to . 5 acre.  Civic Associations, but no HOAs, in all three of these neighborhoods. (We see that as a plus.)

The houses aren't brand new but many have been renovated, including some with additions.  No 3 car garages.  :wink:

So it really just comes down to whether you are ok with an older home and in exchange get a fabulous neighborhood.  Our neighborhood has tons of community events (easter egg hunt, halloween parade, pet parade, community yard sales, home & garden tours, feed the firefighters) and I am sure CCV and KPW have similar events as well.  People are out on walks all the time and stop to chat if you are out.  Block parties and impromptu neighborhood gatherings abound.  Lots of kids out playing and going from house to house. Neighbors genuinely care about each other and keep an eye on the elderly, families with new babies or sick love ones, etc.

We have thought about moving to a "nicer" house but value what we have here so staying put.  Another area to explore is Burke Centre (22015) - again, the house are nothing spectacular but you are buying into a family-friendly neighborhood.

Good luck![/quote]

I agree with this poster. A lot of the homes in Fairfax and Burke that feed into the Robinson or Woodson HS districts are very family friendly. There are some neighborhoods towards Clifton or Fairfax Station that are still neighborhoods but have larger lots too. [/quote]
