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.

Homes in suburban subdivisions
Most homes were built around the central shopping hub between 1990 and the early 2000s. The median price of a single-family home in Kingstowne is $980,000, over double the national median. Townhouses sell for a median price of around $700,000. Four-story, brick colonial-style homes populate the Hunters Crest neighborhood, while ranch-style homes sit on tree-shaded lots in Lincoln Heights. Rose Hill is a suburban neighborhood with a mix of older and newer homes with a median price of $725,000. Association dues between homeowner associations vary between subdivisions.

Kingstowne homeowners association hosts events
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.

Rose Hill began as a planned suburb in the 1950s when Fairfax County was still growing. Today, it keeps residents engaged with its charming lifestyle and eccentric designs. The neighborhood resulted from Washington, D.C.'s post-War World II housing boom. Developers built a patchwork of easy-to-build, quick-to-sell houses on land that had been the site of dairy farms and fruit orchards. Back then, dirt roads were still cut across primitive country land, and early homeowners had to do without telephone service. But, with all its rough edges, Rose Hill's modest homes appealed to veterans looking for a low-cost place to settle down and establish roots. A shopping center sprang up in the 1950s around the Safeway grocery store that would go on to serve generations as the neighborhood's central commercial hub. Schools and parks followed, as did more residential housing, and Rose Hill ultimately flourished and became one of Fairfax County's longer-lived neighborhoods. Carl Sell, longtime resident and a member of the active Rose Hill Civic Association, cites Rose Hill's suburban amenities as key to its appeal." The neighborhood had a Metro station nearby, an elementary school and library plus an adjacent district park with and indoor recreation facility and an 18-hole public golf course," Sell says.<br><br>Brad Wisley, a real estate agent with Century 21 New Millenium, says, "It's got ramblers that were built in the late 50s, they were very nice homes at the time they were built. The homes here are an even spread; half were built with basements, and half weren't." Buyers can expect to find these older three-bedroom ranch, rambler or split-level homes for around $600,000, or newer brick colonials for north of $1.2 million. Townhouses in gated communities also run towards the middle of the range, around $800,000. The 1950s and 1960s split-level and ranch-style houses, topped with sloping roofs and lined with wide windows, give the neighborhood a pared-down midcentury modernist look. Scattered, non-uniform lot sizes allow for individual landscaping -- including rose gardens that gave the neighborhood its name -- and exterior décor like kitschy lawn art or fishponds.<br><br>Clermont Elementary School, part of Fairfax County Public Schools, teaches prekindergarten through sixth-grade students, emphasizing service through activities like Key Club. Niche.com gives the school a grade of A. There's also Twain Middle School, with an A-minus rating and Edison High, with a B-plus. In the neighborhood's early days, the community library operated out of a store in the local shopping center. Today, the renovated John Marshall Library building pays tribute to Rose Hill's architecture with a long, curved roof and wide exterior windows that open interior views.<br><br>Loftridge Park is a 48-acre green space in Rose Hill with paved trails for hiking and biking. It's also surrounded by rows of townhouses that fall under the Loft Ridge Homeowners Association, which maintains a private tennis court in the park for its residents. Small parks and playgrounds such as Mart Twain Park, located near Mark Twain Elementary School, draw parents with young children for outdoor playtime. Cameron Run Regional Park is north of Rose Hill on Eisenhower Avenue and hosts Great Waves Waterpark in the summers, with a mini golf course and batting cage. Come in the winter to experience Ice & Lights: The Winter Village at Cameron Run for ice skating and their holiday lights display. Finally, Huntley Meadows is less than a mile south of Rose Hill, a massive watershed nature preserve with walkways over marshes, where visitors can go birdwatching or spot the occasional beaver.<br><br>For shopping needs, Rose Hill Plaza has been around as long as the homes, with a Safeway for groceries and a Gabe's for discount retail. Residents looking to dine in can check out Namaste Indian Cuisine in the Plaza, which is well-known for its flaky naan bread and creamy butter chicken entrees. Wisley mentions that Rose Hill is about a mile from Kingstowne Towne Center, with a movie theater and major retailers like Walmart and World Market. Residents can venture less than a mile east of Rose Hill for breakfast to a local mainstay, Bob and Edith's Diner in Huntington. This no-frills eatery serves breakfast foods 24 hours a day and has been family-owned and operated for over 50 years, with seven locations across northern Virginia.<br><br>For metro access, residents will need to leave Rose Hill, but the Van Dorn Street station, Huntington station and the Eisenhower Ave station are all less than a mile from the neighborhood's borders to the north or east. Rose Hill rests by Interstate 495, so residents can also drive to Alexandria in 5 miles, National Harbor in 7, or DC in 17 miles.
