    "Neighborhood is quiet, plenty of schools around, close to Hospital in Fairfax and close to multiple urgent cares, multiple shopping centers nearby and right in the middle of everything if you wanted to go to Fair oaks mall or Tyson’s mall or Springfield mall. Not much crime happens in this area which is good, occasionally you will see homeless people around or many times people begging for money on the street but most of them aren’t even homeless. "
