Parkfairfax Delivers Affordability Close to DC
For stressed urban workers seeking a place of solace and quiet by the end of the day, Parkfairfax offers a suburban feel with open green lawns and tall hardwoods to welcome you home yet it’s only minutes away from DC by car or bus and very affordable.

The leafy and quiet neighborhood consists of 1,684 townhouse condominiums from 1-4 bedrooms sited on 132 green hilly and wooded acres.
