Fairlington Commons Condos For Sale
Located at 3367 South Wakefield Street, Arlington, VA 22206
Similar to other garden courtyard developments in Arlington, Virginia, Fairlington Commons is a complex of brick Colonial buildings that were once apartments, and have since converted to condominiums. Located at 3367 S. Stafford Street, this assortment of two and three-story structures are mostly townhouses, with some smaller one-bedroom flats. Surrounded by mature trees and shrubs, the buildings also have connecting walkways and individual courtyards and other grassy areas.
Fairlington Commons is part of the larger Fairlington Villages community that was originally created during the lead-up to World War II. The area was once a massive plantation built in the 1700s by John Carlyle—a friend of George Washington’s. But in the late 1930s, President Franklin Roosevelt’s new Defense Homes Corporation purchased the land in order to build affordable housing for wartime workers and others flooding into the rapidly expanding Washington metropolitan area. The actual construction took place between 1942 and 1945, and at one time, it was the largest complex of apartments in the entire country. Fairlington is often associated with its next-door neighbor Shirlington.
