A D.C. suburb known for its parks
Filled with streams and preserved green space, Lincolnia brims with parkland just 10 miles southwest of Washington, D.C. Locals can walk through flower fields at Green Spring Gardens, attend concerts at Mason District Park and hike the forested Holmes Run Park Trail. It’s this natural setting and a convenient location that have attracted the Fairfax County suburb’s nearly 23,000 residents. “You can hardly tell that you’re about 30 minutes from the city because it's like a little pocket of nature,” says Kristen Mason Coreas, a team lead at Keller Williams United Falls Church who has sold several homes in the area. “But it’s not secluded. There’s still plenty of places to shop and a few commuter routes available.” Commuters have easy access to Interstate 395 and Interstate 495, locally called the Capital Beltway.
Subdivisions make up Lincolnia
“This is a subdivision-based community,” says Mason Coreas. “People will say which subdivision they live in more often than saying they live in Lincolnia.” Ranch-style homes from the 1950s and townhouses and midrise condo complexes built in the ‘80s surround a nine-hole public golf course in the Pinecrest community. Neighborhoods like Heywood Glen and Lincolnia Park have similar styles. The median price of a townhouse is around $634,000, while the median price of a single-family home is about $800,000. Both are higher than the national median. Condos typically cost between $200,000 and $450,000. Some subdivisions have community pools and other resident-only amenities that require HOA fees.
Crime statistics specific to Lincolnia are not readily available, but according to FBI data, Fairfax County has lower violent and property crime rates than national and state figures.
Large single family homes are popular in the Lincolnia neighborhood.

Hiking on Holmes Run Park Trail and plant sales at Green Spring Garden
Lincolnia is home to 14 parks, several of which have forested hiking trails. The 3-mile-long Holmes Run Park Trail connects several community spaces, like the William Ramsay Recreation Center, which has a fitness room and basketball court, and the Dora Kelley Nature Park, where the Jerome “Buddie” Ford Nature Center hosts children’s summer camps. Holmes Run typically connects with other paths to reach Old Town Alexandria, but flooding has closed portions of the trail, and repairs won’t be complete until 2027.
At Lincolnia’s core, Green Spring Gardens has walking paths surrounded by native plants, perennials and woodland. The 31-acre park puts on a Big Plant Sale every May and a concert on the lawn in June. Mason Coreas says it’s also a popular photography spot. “All the local high school kids take prom photos at Green Spring, and I pretty much see a wedding party taking pictures there every time I visit.” Mason District Park is another green space with lively events. The Annandale Farmers Market is here between May and October, while Spotlight by Starlight puts on several culturally themed concerts throughout the summer.

Easy access to Interstate 395 and the nation's capital Beltway
The Van Dorn Metro station, less than 3 miles south, follows the Blue Line, typically reaching downtown D.C. in under an hour. Fairfax County Transit bus stops offer rides to the station and the Pentagon, less than 7 miles northeast. But even with these public transportation options, Mason Coreas says most people here drive to get to get around. “It’s so close to D.C. that taking your own car is quicker than finding a parking spot at a Metro station or waiting for a bus.” D.C. is a 10-mile drive northeast on Interstate 395, and depending on traffic, the trip can take between 20 and 45 minutes. The Capital Beltway, 4 miles west, is a highway that circles all of D.C.
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is less than 9 miles northeast, and Dulles International Airport is about 23 miles northwest. The closest hospital is the Inova Fairfax Medical Campus, 6 miles away.
Highly rated Fairfax County Public Schools
Lincolnia is zoned for the Fairfax County Public Schools district, which earns an A grade from Niche. The district educates around 180,000 students and has a 14-to-1 student-teacher ratio. The Northern Virginia Community College Annandale Campus is less than 4 miles east, and George Mason University is 10 miles west.
Lincolnia’s old one-room schoolhouse is now a senior center
Lincolnia was founded by formerly enslaved people after the Civil War, and it remained a predominantly Black community for nearly a century. Today, the area's segregation-era one-room schoolhouse serves as the Lincolnia Senior Center, which offers crafting clubs, table-tennis leagues and ballroom dancing classes.
Shopping and dining on Little River Turnpike
Strip malls with grocery stores, locally owned restaurants and chain retailers sit along state Route 236, known as Little River Turnpike. More shopping centers are available 3 miles west in Annandale, and Springfield Town Center, less than 6 miles south, has over 120 stores. Pubs and restaurants near the Potomac River fill Federal-style buildings in Old Town Alexandria, 6 miles east.
Residents of Lincolnia are close to the Landmark Shopping Center.

The first thing you will likely notice about Bren Mar Park is its location. And once you see that, it will be a hard place to divert your attention away from. If nothing else—and there is a lot else— “You’re close to literally everything,” says Realtor Scott Ford of Bella Casa Partners at KW United Alexandria-Kingstowne, who closely follows developments west of Alexandria. “You have immediate access to 395, the Beltway, 13 miles from downtown DC and even less to the Pentagon." <br><br>Situated in the vector that forms where Interstate 95 diverges to become 395 and 495, Bren Mar Park is a ribbon of homes built between mature trees, bordered to the east by a small creek that runs south through town. Its location, let alone its scenery, makes it one of the best-positioned neighborhoods to reap the benefits of major developments west of downtown Alexandria. Over the past few years, the neighborhood has seen a windfall of new builds including condos, town houses and apartment complexes, which surround a suburban tangle of cul-de-sacs hiding midcentury raised ranch-styles and split-levels on small, sloped yards. And those town houses and condos sell fast. While the median for single-family homes is around $620,000, some sell in the low millions. Meanwhile, the median for town homes is around $785,000, but many sell for above $800,000. <br><br>Though just outside of Alexandria, Bren Mar Park is under the jurisdiction of Fairfax County Public Schools, some of the Commonwealth's best. Many students begin their education at Bren Mar Park Elementary, which offers students a no-cost online tutoring program. From there, they move on to Holmes Middle School, the 2nd most diverse public school in Virginia according to Niche. Eventually, when they reach Edison High School, any student can apply for the county’s Academy program, which provides career development courses, such as fine arts, computer and medical sciences, or even marketing. <br><br>Aside from having excellent schools, much of what drives the area’s desirability is an ongoing redevelopment of the former Landmark Mall through the WestEnd Alexandria project. This project began in 2020 and will introduce a mixed-use community gathering area with retail and greenspaces built around a state-of-the-art hospital for Inova Health that will be fully operational by 2028. “The WestEnd has always been seen as an afterthought to Alexandria,” Ford says. “This makes the properties in that area more desirable, including resale.” However, the effects of this project will not be contained to the former mall. As Ford explains, there are many other benefits soon to come, such as improved transit access and an incoming tide of commerce along Van Dorn Street just east of Bren Mar Park. <br><br>But if you’re too eager to wait a few years, there’s lots to do in the neighborhood already. To the southwest is a collection of low-industrial buildings, some of which are occupied with retail spaces for artisan business owners, such as furniture builders and violin luthiers. There are also several restaurants here, such as JJ’s Deli, whose steak, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich is a morning routine for many locals. To the east of town, some residents head over to Aslin Brewing Company for an evening of beer and skee-ball. “They win a lot of awards, they’re not just some mom-and-pop microbrewery,” Ford says. <br><br>If you’re seeking a more peaceful outing, locals head to Bren Mar Park to stroll along its hiking trails while listening to the soothing sounds of a rushing creek. Young children can fool around on the park’s jungle gym or play a game of flag football in its open field while parents supervise from afar under the rentable picnic pavilion. The park is also home to a swimming pool and tennis courts that can be used upon applying for membership. But some locals also enjoy getting out of their usual surroundings to visit one of the many parks on the other side of 395 in Lincolnia, such as Green Spring Gardens. <br><br>“I’m excited about this area because I live here and it offers so many things already,” Ford says. “By 2030, it will be a very exciting place to live.”
