If you are looking for a great place to live, then you have found the right community in Annandale. Located inside the Beltway near the West End of Alexandria, this town in Fairfax County, Virginia displays a love for nature as well as a thriving appreciation for the arts and sciences.
Parks are scattered all over the region while main offices of ENSCO, INc, Computer Sciences Corporation and Exxon Mobil are located in Annandale. Hidden Oaks Nature Center has held a variety of activities, such as the Brownie Nature Scout Festival, the Mother’s Day Walk With A Naturalist, and the Good Night Walk: Sounds of the Night, that children and adults enjoyed participating. Hopefully, these nature walks and festivals will become an annual tradition among residents and tourists.
The town also boasts two large markets, namely the Annandale Farmers Market and the Wakefield Farmers Market, that provide fresh produce, meat, herbs, spices and baked goods to Annandale residents and restaurants, which mostly serve Korean cuisine as well as popular American food.
Aside from the market centers and restaurants, Annandale also prides itself with fine recreational places, such as the Pinecrest Golf Course, the Wakefield Skate Park, and the Audrey Moore RECenter. The golf course has 10 driving cages and indoor practice area aside from the clubhouse, snack bar and pro shop. For the kids, the Wakefield Skate Park holds skateboarding and BMX camps for children and teens. Lastly, the Audrey Moore RECenter, formerly known as Wakefield RECenter, houses indoor swimming pools and offers more than 40 fitness classes each week.
