Parkfairfax is a garden-style condominium community located in the West End of Alexandria, Virginia, just a few miles south of Arlington. The community was originally built in the 1940s as rental housing for defense workers during World War II, and it was converted to a condominium community in the 1970s.
Parkfairfax consists of over 1,600 units in 132 brick buildings, spread out over a 132-acre wooded area. The units range in size from one to three bedrooms, and many feature original hardwood floors, crown molding, and other historic details. The community also offers townhome-style units with two levels and private patios.
The community features a range of amenities, including several outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, basketball courts, playgrounds, and hiking trails. There is also a community center that hosts events and activities throughout the year.
The location of Parkfairfax is another one of its major selling points. The community is just a few miles south of Arlington and within easy reach of major commuter routes, including I-395 and the George Washington Memorial Parkway. It is also just a short drive or bus ride away from Old Town Alexandria, where residents can enjoy historic attractions, waterfront parks, and numerous restaurants and shops.
