Located on Westwind Way at the corner of Magarity and Anderson street in McLean, Virginia, the Westerlies is a 200 unit condominium complex situated near Tyson's Corner Shopping Center. The Westerlies are known as a contemporary and fresh community of townhouses throughout the McLean neighborhood. The Westerlies condominiums feature a variety of floor plans including 2 to 3 bedrooms as well as 1 to 2 full bathrooms. The layout of these townhouses offer an abundance of natural lighting and in many units most of the rooms are flooded by daylight. 

At the Westerlies, all of the exterior maintenance is included in the owner's monthly condo fees which is a money and time saving bonus for buyers who may not want to deal with the upkeep of a house. Other features include quick and easy access to all major highways such as I-495, Route 7, and the Dulles Airport Toll Road; and the West Falls Church Metro is approximately a mile away. Condo units feature high windows, kitchens with granite countertops, soaking tubs in the bathrooms, private decks, and most units are 2 levels. Finally, the Westerlies property also includes an outdoor pool, a children's playground, and a basketball court. Between the size, features, and floor plans of the Westerlies condominiums, as well as the great neighborhood that surrounds them, this condo community is a highly desirable place to live in Northern Virginia

The SpectrumThe Spectrum at Falls Church is a "green condo" development in Falls Church, Virginia. An affordable and eco-friendly condo building that features a "green roof" which saves residents money on utilities such as electricity, the Spectrum is one of several condo communities in Northern Virginia that has gotten on board with the environmentally-friendly bandwagon. The Spectrum at Falls Church is located at 444 West Broad Street just off of Route 7 in Falls Church, Virginia, and is approximately a ten-minute drive to the East Falls Church Metro on the Orange Line. The Spectrum at Falls Church houses 189 condo units throughout the development and offers 15 different floor-plans for the one and two bedroom condos. The Spectrum also features two-story lofts that vary in size from 800 to 1,600 square feet. The Spectrum Condominium building had numerous environmentally-friendly features and is therefore known as what is currently understood as a "green condo". Every unit features bamboo or cork flooring, both of which are sustainable materials, and the hot water, central air, and natural gas utility components within the units offer energy saving and energy efficient elements.

The roof of the Spectrum is a "green roof" that was designed to improve air quality and filter storm water. The plants that grow on the roof are intended to provide thermal insulation, which in turn help to reduce energy consumption throughout the building and thus increase insulation for the community residents. Because the roof helps residents conserve energy, it is also notable that the roof, therefore, saves residents money.

The Spectrum community features include a large clubroom with a pool table, lounge, and fireplace, as well as a business center, conference room, catering kitchen, and a movie screening or theater room. Other amenities include a fitness center, a garden area, and a rooftop observation deck overlooking the "green roof".

In today's current market, saving money and the environment are two important but often wholly separate matters. The benefit of the Spectrum Condominiums at Falls Church is that the building provides residents the opportunity for both, setting the standard for a harmonious relationship between urban society and the natural world.  Check the Spectrum for a map of the location and a list of what's for sale at the Spectrum.

The Byron is an elegant, newly built condominium community located at 450 West Broad Street in Falls Church, Virginia. Developed by JPI and Nova Habitat, the Byron is a mid-rise building that includes 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units. The spacious and open floor plans feature hardwood floors, individual balconies, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, large gourmet kitchens that include a breakfast bar, walk-in closets and fireplaces. Other amenities include a fitness center, clubroom, a shuttle to the Metro, and a secured 2 car underground garage. The Byron is also an easy commute to Washington D.C. and the greater Metropolitan area via quick access to I-66 and I-495. The Byron houses 90 condo units that vary in size but all of which are considerably larger than other condos units in the surrounding areas.

The 1 bedroom units that include a den are approximately 1,032 square feet; the 2 bedroom units begin at 1,661 square feet with the largest unit spanning 1,825 square feet in total; and finally, the 3 bedroom/3 bathroom units are a whopping 1,998 square feet. Because the Byron does not have a swimming pool, the condo fees for the building are considerably less than those that do. The Byron is therefore both an affordable and attractive condo community particularly when one considers the size of the units, the location of the condos, and the modern host of amenities included in each. The Byron is a new building and has already received top reviews from all around the greater Northern Virginia area, making it a smart buy for 2010.

The Idylwood Towers Condominiums include two high-rise buildings with a sum total of 484 residential condo units and include 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom floor plans. The Idylwood Towers are located at 2300 and 2311 Pimmit Drive in Falls Church, Virginia, and are accessible by Metro via the Orange Line to the East Falls Church Metro Station.
 
The twenty-two acre complex includes ample parking as well as the buildings' unusually large natural grounds with extensive lawns, mature trees and landscaping. The Idylwood Towers also hosts an attractive set of amenities which serve to highlight the natural landscape and acreage. Such features include a large swimming pool, fitness centers in each building with professional quality equipment for aerobic and strength exercises, tennis courts, a basketball court, cookout areas, a children's playground, pool rooms, and rooms for community activities or private parties.

Although the Towers were completed in 1974, the exterior of the building has undergone at least one facial renovation since that time. In fact, what is actually particularly appealing about the Idylwood Towers is the buildings’ age insofar as solidity and structure. The units and building itself are concrete and brick structures that provide excellent sound insulation and fire resistance, both of which honestly pay homage to today's all too common commiserate story "they just don't make 'em like they used to". Here, the facade and age of the buildings are endearing and the community is certainly whole. No flashy stuff, just a great place to call home.

Confusion-B-Gon!For many, especially those who are new to the area, the system of jurisdictions that we have in the Commonwealth of Virginia can be confusing. This is especially confusing in Northern Virginia, where Virginia intersects with Washington DC and the State of Maryland.

Fortunately I have a fresh bottle of CONFUSION-B-GON to spray liberally as needed.

Around our nation's capital

Let me start with my single-biggest pet peeve among newcomers: the term "DC proper".

I have seen this term used regularly on a site that claims to provide local information. That information is provided by people using anonymous handles. Anonymous handles should be your first clue not to completely trust the information you find.

At any rate: there is no such thing as "DC proper". There are three main jurisdictions here: Virginia, Maryland and Washington DC.

It is very common to live in Northern Virginia or Suburban Maryland and work in DC. Virginia is as different from DC as New Jersey is from New York. With a wink and a smile I have to inform you that just because you thought your job was transferring to Washington doesn't mean that you're moving to DC proper or improper.

Virginia jurisdictions

One of the keys to understanding Virginia real estate for a property search is to understand the differences between towns, counties and cities. In Virginia, as in most other states in the US, a county and an area administer below the state-level by local / county government. Counties are often rural areas, but Fairfax County has over a million residents and has very little rural land left.

Fairfax County aside, a county may have one or more towns within it's borders. In Virginia a town, no matter how many people live in that town, is part of a county and is managed by the county. In Virginia, towns often have governments but these governments are subordinate to and part of the county where the town is found.

In addition to counties, Virginia has a fairly unique concept called a city. A city is like a county, except it is more urban than rural. For example Falls Church and Alexandria are both cities. Cities, unlike towns, are not subordinate to counties. Cities are independent and operate on a level similar to counties.

This can be particularly confusing in Fairfax County. Fairfax County is a large mostly urban county and it surrounds Fairfax, an independent city. So the City of Fairfax is surrounded by Fairfax County, but it's not a part of Fairfax County. Falls Church, Alexandria and Fairfax are all cities. Manassas and Manassas Park are both cities and both are surrounded by Prince William County.

Real estate is sorted by county

It's important to understand this system of administrative organization because land tax records are stored by the county or city. Because tax records are organized by the county or city, real estate property searches are often sorted by the administrative jurisdiction.

For a newcomer it can be a little difficult to tell the difference between Fairfax and Fairfax County, between Manassas and Manassas Park and Prince William County. Another point of confusion is Arlington. Arlington is a city in a practical sense, but Arlington is a county.

Herndon, Vienna and Clifton are all towns located in Fairfax County, which mean that these towns have local governments subordinate to the county. Springfield is much bigger than Clifton, but Springfield is not a town.

Another curious case is Crystal City. Crystal City is located in Arlington County. Interestingly, Crystal City is not a city nor is it a town!

Unincorporated settlements

Which brings us to the next point of confusion in the area. There are many unincorporated neighborhoods, villages, towns and settlements in Northern Virginia. Unincorporated just means there is no local (i.e. town) government. Rather than having a town government, an unincorporated town is managed by the county. Springfield, Annandale, Bailey's Crossroads, Mclean Tysons Corner and Reston are just a few of the many unincorporated towns in Fairfax County. In places like Springfield this can be a little confusing because without a town there is no formal border between Franconia and Springfield and thus no hard and fast distinction between the two. In addition, with the near completion of Kingstowne, Franconia-Springfield is now home to one of the largest planned communities/subdivisions in the area. Kingstowne is considered a town in and of itself by many.

Post office address

To make matters even more confusing for newcomers, there is the matter of the post office. The postal address of a property is not always an indicator of the jurisdiction of a property. For example, many addresses in Fairfax County have an Alexandria address. Service from the Alexandria post office has no bearing on the county or city of the adress in question.

Confusion-B-Gon guarantee!

Well, that's the last of this bottle of CONFUSION-B-GON. If you're still confused, no worries. Contact Will Nesbitt or Condo 1 Alexandria. Tell us what you seek and we'll find the property for you!

I recently visited Skyline Square condos. It was a misty, rainy spring day but I snapped a few pictures anyway. Even on a nearly rainy day, many of the views at Skyline Square are great.

shuttle at Skyline Square

The Skyline Square Shuttle was at the ready when we visited.

It was parked in front of the lobby / office which is located between the twin towers of Skyline Square. The fly-over walk through gives residents easy access to mail and to the office.

The lobby itself is big and spacious.

parking garage at Skyline Square

The nearby parking garage holds plenty of vehicles.

kitchen at Skyline Plaza

The kitchen in this unit had new appliances and cabinets.
