Townhouse, Colonial – VIENNA, VA

If you are looking for affordable housing near the Vienna Metro, take a look at the Covington community located between Lee Highway and Arlington Boulevard near Nutley Street.  Townhomes there were originally built  starting in the early 1970′s to the early 1980′s.  The Covington community features 3 level,  2, 3, and 4 bedroom, and 2 to 3 bath contemporary and colonial style residences with siding  and sometimes brick exteriors.  There are approximately 478 total units  that average 1000 to 1400 square feet of living space.

Most residences at Covington feature assigned parking, but some have 1 or 2 car garages. The Covington community is within walking distance to the Vienna Metro Station and the Pan Am Shopping Center.  As of this date,  and according to the MLS, there are 2 properties for sale in Covington:

3033 Ellenwood Drive, $310,000 and 2911 Piney Grove Court, $359,700.  Another home, 2904 Everleigh Way is under contract with a list price of $340,000.  In 2011, 17 homes were sold in Covington.    There’s a pretty active HOA that organizes events like the upcoming Annual Covington Cleanup Day  to be held on Saturday, April 14, at 10:00 AM.   Check out this and other information at https://sites.google.com/site/covingtonhoa/.

If you are living in Covington, I’d be happy to help you sell your home and if you’re looking to buy, I can send you automatic emails that will let you know when new properties come on the market.

Here are the homes that sold in 2011.

If these homes are anything like those they are selling in Washington, DC, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.  I’ve visited EYA’s community at Chancellor’s Row a few times and I found the models and layouts well thought out and convenient for younger singles and couples.  .  .  . there are a lot of stairs!

Of course, the Mosaic District (as it is called) will have restaurants, boutique retail stores, a theater and more for all the new residents and those of us who live nearby.  If you are interested in seeing these new townhomes, why not give me a call?  Remember that the sales representatives are working for the builder.  You need your own representation.  It costs you nothing and it could save you a bundle!  leila@mris.com or 703 679-8741.
