A planned midcentury suburb in Fairfax County
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.

Stroll at Loftridge Park or head to Cameron Run for family fun
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.
Huntley Meadows Park near Rose Hill is a birding hotspot attracting many wildlife photographers.

Ramblers, split-levels with newer colonials in stock
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.
Modern homes with sloped roofs are sprinkled within the Rose Hill neighborhood.
Modern and large colonial homes offer much more space than may others in Rose Hill.

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.

There are definitely worse areas that you could live in this country, however I would be curious to explore and leave it some day. I would say that this area is probably somewhere good to settle down if you ever need to. Most homes are about forty years old, yet there are new homes in development.

I mean the houses are very nice (especially the new ones for $600,000-$800,000). If you do not own a town-home, you will have some land for kids to run about. I've heard from a few friends that there were some houses installing helipads... Depending on the person, they may buy a house from $350K-$1000K based on their needs. Rent is ridiculous for those who have a slightly lower income... like at least $800/month for students and $1,300/month for singles. If you want to sleep tight, Fairfax County/ Alexandria is your best bet. Utilities are decent, but if you are an engineer, being creative isn't much of a big deal. If you need lots of help, it will take a while to save up.
