Stratford Place --- a condominium village in Kingstowne
Stratford Place is one of the villages of Kingstowne where you'll find condominium homes at a good price in a great neighborhood. The three-story garden-style condominiums are served by stairways. (No elevators keeps the condo fees lower.) The stairways are under roof but open to the elements. The hallways are nicely carpeted.
The buildings have a modernized colonial-style architecture with staggered roof-lines and dormers. The mix of brick and siding give the community a suburban welcome-home feel. Though difficulty to see in these pictures, the entrances are under large archways housing the open stairways.
There is no shortage of parking. With access to both reserved and visitor parking residents shouldn't have any problems here. All units have nice large balconies with views to the trees and rolling hills of Kingstowne. The treetop level balconies have plenty of room for a picnic or just a place to sit.
Outside on the balcony and inside the unit, compared to many condominium homes in Northern Virginia, the units at Stratford Place feel large and spacious. All condominiums here have fireplaces.
The living room is separated from the kitchen by a counter and run of cabinets, giving the place an open floor plan. Stratford Place is just old enough that many of the kitchens offer new appliances.
If you like the pool, you won't have to leave your village for a dip. The pool is right here in Stratford Place.
