Newington Community Association’s pool and ball fields
The Newington Community Association is very active and meets once a month. They monitor things like how long holiday decorations can stay up (no more than 30 days before or after the holiday) and how tall grass can be (no more than 6 inches), as well as address community concerns, including fallen trees or parking issues. In the summer, kids splash in the NCA Community Pool, while parents chill on lounge chairs and towels. The nearby Newington Community Association Ball Field is well-maintained and surrounded by woodlands and streams. This is a great place for a casual game of soccer or volleyball. Realtor Renee Mcelrath with Douglas Elliman of Metro DC, LLC says, “The community association mostly holds events in the summer or around back-to-school. They give out backpacks, school supplies, that kind of thing.”
There is a multitude of walking trails sprinkled throughout Newington.

Wandering the Pohick Stream Valley Trail and playing pick-up at Rollingwood Park
Hannah Hutton with Fairfax County Park Authority notes that all county park amenities are available to anyone regardless of residence. “Fairfax County Park Authority has 420 parks and 325 miles of trails,” she says. The Gerry Connolly Cross Country Trail, which runs roughly 40 miles through Fairfax County, is a popular spot for a run or wooded walk. A smaller portion of the trail – the Pohick Stream Valley Trail – runs through Newington for 3 miles along Pohick Stream. The trail varies in steepness; it is paved in some areas and unpaved in others. Rollingwood Park is a great place to take the kids after school, where little ones can run around on the playground while teenagers play games of pick-up on basketball courts. Nearby Middle Run Stream Valley Park and South Run Stream Valley Park, where amenities include the great outdoors, offer scenic escapes and even more trails. And to hit the links, locals can head to Fort Belvoir Golf Course.
Rollingwood Park in Newington is a place to get in some practice and be ready for the next game.

Homes in well-maintained subdivisions
Homes in Newington sit on wide streets with gentle curves. Sidewalks lead throughout subdivisions, and leafy trees dot from yards. Colonial Revival and split-level homes, primarily built in the 1970s and 1980s, are the dominant styles here. But there are also some ranch-style and New Traditional properties. “Your dollar goes a long way in terms of what you can purchase when compared to other homes in that zip code,” says Sarah Brown, founder and real estate advisor with Bidwell Properties. Single-family home prices typically range between $600,000 to $775,000. There are also a lot of townhome options, most of which look like attached colonial-style houses with different colored shutters and coats of paint. These properties typically run from $500,000 to $650,000 and can be a good option for military families who may need to move.
Larger homes are sprinkled throughout Newington.

Fairfax County Farmer’s Markets
Each spring and summer, Fairfax hosts 10 farmer’s markets that are scattered throughout the county. The closest one to Newington is about 4 miles south in Lorton. All vendors must come from within a 125-mile radius of Fairfax County and, since the market it producer-only, must sell items raised on farms or made from scratch. The community also has official and unofficial gatherings throughout the year, from block bashes to pool parties.

16 miles to Washington, D.C.
Virginia Railway Express commuter rail service is available at Lorton station, about 4 miles from the community, leading about 16 miles to Washington, D.C. on the Fredericksburg Line. To access the nation’s capital by car, locals can use U.S. Interstate 95. “This is the midpoint between D.C. and Woodbridge,” Mcelrath says. “It’s great for commuters to either area since they’re becoming more expensive.” Located 4 miles from Fort Belvoir, this is a popular area for service members, giving military families a friendly community to interact with.
