A destination in itself, The Boro Tysons continues to attract new residents and retailers, while excitement grows over this massive development in Tysons Corner. The ambitious first phase of The Boro brought in residential units, office space and retail space. Eventually, the mega development calls for the inclusion of thousands of apartments and condos, several office towers, hotels, parks, a public library and retailers. In fact, there’s plenty to entice visitors, workers and future residents to the area.

To begin with, The Boro already boasts some impressive opportunities for real estate. The Verse Tysons is a modern high-rise with luxury condos. Options include a one-bedroom or a much more spacious two-bedroom condo with

Two collections of new residential options are coming to McLean. The new Union Park development will likely open later this spring, featuring your choice of brownstones or lofts in an ideal setting.

Just a short walk from the McLean Station Metro, Union Park is also a reasonable distance from several major roadways in the area, as well as parks, shopping and more. The new homes sit just minutes away from attractions such as Tysons Galleria and The Boro.

They also sit close to area schools, and within walking distance of an area elementary school. A number of luxury features and finishes complement Union Park’s low maintenance lifestyle.

This master-planned community from Toll Brothers offers home designs including townhome-style condos. The

A new luxury condo tower is set to open this fall in The Boro. Verse brings with it 140 new luxury residences, many of which are already sold out.

Options include one-, two- and even three-bedroom floor plans, with prices starting around $500,000. Some of the largest units of Verse are, in turn, priced upwards of $1 million.

You’ll find a full range of architectural styles in the DC area, from pre-World War II to contemporary, new construction designs. If you’re in the market for mid-century modern, though, you’ll still find plenty of options if you know where to look.

Often these homes are distinguished by large windows and sliding glass doors, sleek lines and an open design. A great place to begin your search is in Southwest Waterfront neighborhood of Washington, DC. There are also, of course, several neighborhoods in the greater DC area that provide even more options for buyers.

In particular, some buyers find just the right homes exist in such locations as Forest Hills, Bethesda and McLean. The wooded lots often work nicely for mid-century designs, which use

A collection of new and modern condos heads to Tysons this fall with the introduction of The Bexley. Under construction right now, the luxury condos are going up in Tysons East, offering up an added layer of convenience for future residences.

A collection of new ultra-luxurious condos is headed to Tysons, where The Monarch is currently under construction. Priced starting from the $600,000s, other units of The Monarch command prices in the multi-million-dollar range, encircled by a park-like setting.

This gives future residents the option of everything from a one- to a three-bedroom unit, plus even a luxurious penthouse unit. With four-to-six residences per floor and around 100 units in all, The Monarch also allows for low-density living in McLean.

The 20-story property features some direct-access elevators opening up into private living rooms and some generous outdoor living space. The one-bedroom units command around 880 square feet of living space plus a balcony.

Available units are going fast at Verse, where already more than 60-percent of available condos have been sold. The new condo building doesn’t open until later this fall, but it’s already considered one of the best-selling new luxury condo developments in the area.

The 25-story building marks the first phase of The Boro District, the very first walkable community to come to Tysons Corner. Phase one promises to bring along the addition of new condos, apartments, retail space, office space and a one-acre park.

In all, the 16-acre Boro District aims to become a destination with the city, with retail, commercial and residential space combining to form one of the area’s most desirable locations. Future plans include the addition of outdoor concerts,

As one of the nation’s fastest growing suburban communities, McLean is known for its beautiful homes and its upscale options. Only about 10-miles outside of DC, the location makes it easy to travel to the neighboring communities of Reston, Falls Church and Arlington.

Overall, though, people are drawn to McClean for its prestigious setting, with upscale homes, quiet streets and a high quality of life. All of this, however, remains an easy commute away from everything else in the DC area.

Years ago, McLean served an important role in history. While not officially established until the turn-of-the-century, the town played a part in the War of 1812. One of its most historic sites is Hickory Hill, an old estate dating back to the late 1800s. Even

A new residential tower just broke ground in Tysons. Monarch is currently under construction, bringing with it more than 90 new condo units, set within a 20-story building on Jones Branch Drive.

The future condos are expected to range from around 880 square feet of living space to around 3,400 square feet of space. Priced starting in the $600,000s, you will also likely find some units topping $3 million. Options start at a one-bedroom unit, with some three-bedroom and penthouse units available.

This allows for around a dozen different floor plans, with only two to six units per floor of the building. All of the private condos will feature the inclusion of outdoor balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing for plentiful natural light to

Stretching a full 2,100 acres and more than three square miles, Tysons is home to more than 19,000 people and millions of square feet of office and retail space. This fast-growing community is also looking ahead to the future with a transformation plan that calls for some specific development in eight distinct districts.

Each of the eight districts will offer up its own selection of residences, shopping and commercial space, plus allow room for recreation. While each will be unique in its own right, the idea is for the districts to connect with each other continuously.

Most of the future development is expected to go in the districts of Tysons West, Tysons Central 7, Tysons Central 123 and Tysons East. Each district corresponds with a station on
