Crosspointe

Only 20 miles southwest of D.C. sits Crosspointe, a community-rich suburb. “There’s a large Fall Festival every year and a community yard sale that gets a ton of participation,” says Keller Williams realtor Ron Kowalski. “The HOA is great, and they put time back into the community and it shows, there’s always people at the public pools, especially for swim team events.” With large homes on vast lots and an excellent school district, it’s no surprise that Crosspointe is a destination for those looking to settle in northern Virginia.

Homes in Crosspointe begin near $750,000 for a four-bedroom build from 1986 and range up to $1.25 million for five-bedroom brick Colonial models. “The homes in Crossponite are beautiful,” states Kowalski. The large windows of the homes look out onto the vast front lawns. Street parking is not an issue, as many of the homes feature driveways and multi-car garages. The homes are spread out in an unplanned map that gives each street a unique feel, and the large cul-de-sacs provide privacy and quiet. Mature oak trees line the flat wide sidewalks and provide shade for morning walks with the dog. Many residents have tried their hand at gardening in the front yards, while spacious backyards are great for entertaining.

Children in Crosspointe attend Fairfax County Public Schools, beginning at Silverbrook Elementary, which holds an A rating on Niche. “Silverbrook has consistently been a sought-after school for people buying homes,” says Kowalski. The recently renovated school, “got a major facelift and it looks fantastic.” From there students go on to South County Middle School, and eventually South County High, both with A ratings on Niche. South County Middle offers a variety of after-school programs from the Science Olympiad to Technology Student Association. Residents are proud supporters of the South County Stallions basketball team which has won two state championships since 2018.

Crosspointe residents love to stay active by hiking the miles of trails throughout the neighborhood. A focal point of the trails is Heron Pond where the community will gather for monthly fishing outings. More regular anglers can be seen out at the pond daily. There is no better place to cool off from the summer sun than at the Glen Eagles Pool. Located right near the Crosspointe Community Center the pool has lap lanes and recreation area available, as well as tennis courts. The community holds events such as the Crosspointe Harvest Festival each fall with games, food trucks and entertainment.

For a dinner spot that is sure to satisfy, Crosspointe residents head to Fuse Box for a spark to the tastebuds. Fuse Box combines the tenets of multiple Asian cuisines to produce a new twist on favorites such as General Tso’s chicken and barbecue spareribs. With a full bar and great dessert options, you won’t leave with an empty stomach. For Italian, look no further than Squisito Pizza and Pasta. Customers build their own hand-tossed pizzas or enjoy classics like penne broccoli or tortellini primavera. Regulars know to save room for the tiramisu to top off the perfect meal.

Residents love the convenience and quality at Crosspointe Market. This family-owned business has a large selection of craft beer and wine, as well as a full deli that offers sandwiches and salads. Locals pop in to grab coffee or a freshly baked pastry in the morning, and can stop by for necessities like toiletries and cleaning products after work. For more variety, Crosspointe has two Giant Food chains in the neighborhood complete with a pharmacy and delivery options. For full retail options, Potomac Mills is a full shopping mall located just six miles south of Crosspointe.
