Fairfax County, Franconia, garden-style, Lee District, Manchester Lakes, Near Franconia Springfield Metro, Springfield, SurreySurrey of Manchester LakesSurrey is one of the condominium communities that make up Manchester Lakes and it happens to be one of my favorite spots in Northern Virginia. Because Surrey is in Manchester Lakes these condos have access to community features like the club room and the pool, but the condo fees at Surrey are remarkably low. Surrey is very well-tended but they are designed to keep fees low. Surrey provides garden-style condos without need for elevators or carpeting in common areas or even electricity or temperature control in the common areas. Every condo at Surrey has a porch or a patio and every condo at Surrey has a real fireplace. The floorplans have the feel of the "all-American rambler". That is to say, the unit is all on one level with large open kitchen-dining-living area at one side of the unit and at the end of the hall a pair of bedrooms with each with a bathroom. Surrey does not have a "double-master" lay-out. There is one master-bedroom here. The neighborhood is very pleasant with easy access to Kingstowne and Springfield. Of course, the Franconia-Springfield Metro is right around the corner and some residents walk to the metro as part of their commute.

Fairfax County, Franconia, Lee DistrictHistory of Franconia
"'Frankhonia Farm' was situated on 191 acres purchased in 1859 by Alexandria merchant
and businessman William Fowle from John Broders of Oak Grove Farm. His son, Robert
Rollins Fowle, sold 18 acres to the Alexandria & Fredericksburg Railway Company
in 1871 for a station which was named after the farm. The station served as Garfield
Post Office from 1881 to 1890 and again from 1898 to 1907. Initially situated south
of Franconia Road near present day Fleet Drive, the station was relocated after a
fire in 1903 to the north side of Franconia Road. Regular service at Franconia Station
was discontinued circa 1953." Sponsored by Condo 1 Alexandria / Will Nesbitt Realty LLC Serving real estate needs of Northern VA · in Alexandria · in Arlington · in Fairfax County · | ||
