The husband is being transferred to DC for work in a few months. We decided to rent first to get to know the location. The real estate agent we are using provided us with many townhouses in the Kingstowne area. We are going next month to view as much as we can and most likely sign a lease. Does anyone have any information regarding Kingstowne? The pictures showed access to a lot of restaurants and shopping and it looked nice but I would like to know what people from the area think. Thank you!
Also, I will have a one year old and be a stay at home so I'm hoping to find out any information regarding if it is child friendly. For instance, parks, playgrounds and safe neighborhoods for strolls?
Re: Info regarding Kingstowne, VA
My Fiance and I just moved to Kingstowne. It's a really nice area. Lots of areas to walk. The shopping center has restaurants, shops, and grocery stores.
It's a safe area for families and I love living here. I just can't wait for my LO to arrive in November!
Hi, I lived there 2 years ago. I lived at the Edgemoore apartments, I'd recommend to stay away from there. But if it has improved since 2010 and the price is reasonable, staying there for a year won't kill you, the location is great. The area is nice.
We lived in Kingstowne for 6.5 years and just bought our first house in Loudoun County (much further west). Kingstowne never felt "right" to me. But it is a nice community with a big shopping center. Stay away from the apartment communities and rent a townhouse.
ETA: also wanted to recommend my OB - they have three offices in the area, one being in Kingstowne. Drs. Kusic, Hou, Kiszkiel, Tran, Stas and Hibschmann on Walker Lane.
