Fireplaces of Founder’s Walk
Fireplace centerpiece at Founder's Hill
Founder’s Walk is located just outside the Beltway near Van Dorn Metro. Although it has an Alexandria postal address it is in Fairfax County. The units at Founder’s Walk are relatively large compared to similarly priced units in the Alexandria area. These garden-style condos are recently built and have the types of upgrades that folks have come to expect, such as a fireplace in the unit or hardwood floors in the dining area. As you can see these condos have plenty of windows and light. The neighborhood is pleasant and quiet, despite being very close to the Capital Beltway. There is no charge for parking.

Intro to Eton Square
Garden-style condos at Eton Square
Eton Square condominiums are part of Kingstowne in Franconia / Alexandria VA. Eton Square has an Alexandria postal address, but is located in Fairfax County Virginia. Eton Square is conveniently located near the shops of Kingstowne Towne Centre at Kingstowne Boulevard. Eton Square straddles Kingstowne Village Parkway with a north and south “campus” located on either side of this broad avenue / artery of Kingstowne.
Eton Square has garden-style condos, which means that there are fewer than 4 floors in each building and there is no elevator. The stairs here are open to the elements. Open stairs and no elevators mean reduced condo fees as compared to other locations in Northern Virginia. The exteriors are a pleasing mix of brick and siding with interesting architectural details like round-windows, open archways and many dormers. Like many garden-style condos in the Kingstowne vicinity, the condos at Eton Square are spacious.
Of note is the top floor at Eton Square. Top floor condos here have a two-level design with a dramatic loft-style overlook to the living room. To check prices, see a map and more pictures of units that are actually for sale, click Eton Square condos.
