Spending time in nature can help you be more active and improve your mood. More prospective buyers are paying attention to surroundings and nearby green spaces when choosing a home, a factor that can influence your lifestyle and help you adopt healthy habits.
At Craftmark Homes, green spaces and walkability are important factors we consider when developing new communities.
The Retreat at the Westfields
The Retreat at the Westfields is a peaceful Chantilly community located near the Flatlick Stream Valley Park, a green space with trails for walking or jogging. If you’re up for a challenge, you can also follow the Cub Run Stream to get to Richard W. Jones Park or walk all the way to the Cub Run Stream Valley Park!
The Ellanor C. Lawrence Park is another favorite local spot, with its 650 acres, forests, and streams. Plus, residents are within walking distance of the Fun Land of Fairfax, the Field at Commonwealth shopping mall, and the Sully Station Shopping Center.
Clarksburg Town Center
Clarksburg Town Center is another idyllic community not far from The Village at Cabin Branch. Living in the heart of this residential neighborhood puts you within walking distance of green spaces like Kings Local Park or Ovid Hazen Wells Recreation Park.
If you’re up for an afternoon in nature, head to Little Bennett Regional Park and its 3,700 acres, including 25 miles of trail and plenty of birdwatching opportunities.
You’ll also find the Clarksburg Village Center within a few minutes’ walk of varied dining options like the Clarksburg Tavern or China Spring.
