Kings Park is a vibrant suburb of Springfield, close to Lake Accotink
Kings Park appeals to buyers seeking postwar suburban homes nestled around the vibrant parks and streams along the Accotink Creek Watershed. “It’s a very pedestrian neighborhood, people are always out and about, and it’s very friendly,” says Susan Metcalf, a longtime Kings Park resident and Realtor with McEnearney Commercial. “At Kings Park Park, we have our Fourth of July festival, and the Kings Park Band also plays there.” The community is a quick drive away from popular Northern Virginia shopping hubs in Springfield or dining destinations in Annandale, and commuters can reach Washington, D.C. in half an hour on Interstate 395.
