Review

"Amazing community and schools!"

We have had the most amazing experience living in Kings Park West. The elementary school, Laurel Ridge, and the high school, Robinson have been top notch! There are sidewalks, walking trails, parks, and royal lake is a hidden gem. Three community pools within the neighborhood make summer time fun and offer the swim team experience for kids. There are families who have lived in the neighborhood for decades, active duty, and retired military families. The express bus to the Pentagon picks up throughout the neighborhood and is an easy 40 min commute (often paid for with a military stipend). The VRE is close by for those heading into the city as well. Quantico is a reverse commute of 45 min and Ft Belvoir is 19 miles away. The homes are affordable (as compared to others in this zip code) for purchase or rent within BAH. We hope to return to the neighborhood after retirement!

Pros Cons
  1. Fantastic neighbors
  1. People drive a bit too fast on Commonwealth

Price: $400-$650k

"A great escape from the hustle with friendly neighbors!"

Located just a short distance from the beltway, this community of just over 1,800 homes features serpentine, tree-lined streets, sought after neighborhood schools, fun community pools and remarkable neighborhood spirit. Just minutes from the VRE plus Metrobus stops in neighborhood with destination Pentagon.

Nestled in the middle of this friendly community is Royal Lake with ball fields, playgrounds, & trail...Fishing allowed!

Its a place where neighbors help neighbors:)

Pros Cons
  1. Solidly built homes, appealing designs
