From countryside to central shopping in Kingstowne
Now an active census-designated place with a massive retail center at its core, Kingstowne once housed little more than open fields. “Kingstowne was a farm, and a developer bought the land and divided it up,” says Brian Blackburn of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty. “Kingstowne is a larger planned community, about 2,200 acres,” Blackburn explains. “They built in their own retail and are unique in the zip code because most homes were built in the 50s and 60s. These are new construction comparatively.” Rather than becoming a single homeowner association, the neighborhood broke into smaller sections, each providing unique styles and amenities. Less than 16 miles from Washington and 7 miles from Fort Belvoir, the neighborhood is now home to over 16,500 people during the 2020 census.

Members of the Kingstowne Residential Owners Corporation benefit from amenities like playgrounds, outdoor swimming pools, pickleball courts and fitness centers. The association organizes annual holiday events, including a haunted house and Easter egg hunt. Those who live outside the HOA can bike along the trails at Beulah Park or drive 2 miles to Chessie’s Big Backyard, a vast playground with places to climb and trails to explore. There are two golf courses just outside of the community to the north and south. Many subdivisions include private amenities, like pools and tennis courts.

Shopping at Kingstowne Towne Center
“Right around the Kingstowne area, they’ve always had the benefit of walking paths,” Blackburn says. One destination along the paved path is the Kingstowne Towne Center, which provides the neighborhood with three grocery stores, businesses and restaurants. In addition to shopping, the outdoor mall serves as a spot where residents like to hang out and see a movie or hit the gym. In the warm weather, Kingstowne hosts a farmers market there. For more options, the Springfield Mall is just a few miles away.

The Van Dorn Street station
Although easily accessible on foot, the shopping center includes an extensive parking lot and on-site bus stop. Several bus stops in Kingstowne quickly connect to nearby metro stations. “You can get to Old Town very easily, and for West End Alexandria, just shoot up Van Dorn Street,” Blackburn says. The Van Dorn Street Metro station also provides the most straightforward route into Washington, making the neighborhood convenient for those working in the capital, as many residents are contractors for the federal government. Those traveling by car can take Interstate 395 south into Arlington and Washington, but it is a toll road.
