The community is pet-friendly, allowing up to two pets with no weight restriction. One parking decal is included, with a second available for an additional annual fee of $300. Ideally located with easy access to I-395, I-95, Route 1, public transportation, and the Van Dorn Street Metro Station, this home provides an easy commute to Washington, DC and surrounding Northern Virginia destinations.
