We’re kicking off our 50th anniversary #decadesofdevelopment series with Wesley Housing's very first community, Strawbridge Square Apartments, located in the Lincolnia neighborhood of Fairfax County. In 1977, 20 acres of land (valued at $372,750) were purchased for $1.00 from the Vernon M. Lynch Sons Partnership. Wesley Housing then donated 10 acres to the Fairfax County Park Authority for passive recreation. In 2010, an extensive renovation was completed that included new roofs, kitchens, baths, energy efficient upgrades and an expansion to the Community Resource Center. In 2019, the community received Communities of Quality national recognition by NAHMA - The National Affordable Housing Management Association, having achieved a high standard of excellence in management, services provided to residents, experience and training of personnel, and other criteria. Strawbridge Square features 128 stacked townhouses and garden apartments in mid-rise brick buildings. The community continues to be unique for the high percentage of larger three- and four-bedroom units for families. Six of the townhouses are wheelchair accessible.
