A blend of suburban calm and urban accessibility
The Seasons is situated in Lincolnia Hills, a neighborhood that offers a unique blend of suburban tranquility and urban convenience. This area, with its post-Civil War roots and mid-20th century development, retains a sense of established community while benefiting from its proximity to Alexandria's amenities and Washington D.C.'s attractions.
The surrounding streets are lined with mature trees, creating a canopy that provides shade and enhances the neighborhood's aesthetic appeal. This leafy setting offers a peaceful backdrop for walks and bike rides, making it easy for residents to enjoy outdoor activities close to home.
For daily necessities, the Plaza at Landmark shopping center is conveniently located nearby. Here, residents can find a Giant Food grocery store for their shopping needs, along with a variety of dining options. The Barnside Diner, a local favorite, serves up classic American fare 24/7, perfect for late-night cravings or early morning breakfasts.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to several parks. Dora Kelley Nature Park, just a mile away, offers 50 acres of natural beauty with hiking trails and diverse ecosystems. The park is home to the Jerome "Buddie" Ford Nature Center, providing educational programs and exhibits on local flora and fauna. For those seeking additional recreational options, Lincolnia Park and Glen Hills Park are also within walking distance, offering playgrounds, sports fields, and more trails.
The area's rich history is reflected in its mix of architectural styles, from post-war ramblers to more recent developments. This diversity contributes to the neighborhood's character and appeal to a wide range of residents.
While the immediate area around The Seasons has a suburban feel, the vibrancy of urban life is easily accessible. The ongoing redevelopment of Landmark Mall promises to bring new shopping, dining, and entertainment options even closer to home in the near future.
For families with school-age children, William Ramsay Elementary School is within walking distance. Older students attend Francis C. Hammond Middle School and Alexandria City High School, both a short drive away.
The neighborhood's location provides easy access to major employment centers. The Pentagon is just a short commute away, as are the burgeoning business districts of Crystal City and the new Amazon headquarters.
Multiple transit options for seamless city connections
The Seasons offers residents a variety of transportation options, making it easy to navigate both the immediate area and the broader Washington D.C. metro region. For those who rely on public transit, the Linconia Rd & Quantrell Ave bus stop is less than a five-minute walk from the complex. This stop serves the Van Dorn Metro – Yoakum Pkwy – Beauregard St – Pentagon Metro line, providing a direct connection to key areas of Alexandria and Arlington.
For rail commuters, the Van Dorn Street Metro station is about a 10-minute drive away. This Blue Line station offers quick access to downtown D.C., Pentagon City, and other major destinations throughout the metro area. The Backlick Road VRE station, approximately 5 miles from The Seasons, provides another option for those commuting to D.C. or heading south towards Manassas.
The neighborhood's location also benefits drivers, with easy access to major roadways. Interstate 395 is nearby, facilitating quick trips to Washington D.C., Arlington, and other parts of Northern Virginia. This strategic position allows for relatively easy commutes to employment centers throughout the region.

The nearby shopping centers and parks are within comfortable walking distance for most residents. However, for exploring further afield or running larger errands, having a car or using public transportation is beneficial.
Cycling enthusiasts will find the area somewhat accommodating, with some bike-friendly routes available. However, the infrastructure for cyclists is still developing, and many residents may find driving or public transit more convenient for longer trips.
The variety of transportation options available from The Seasons allows residents to tailor their commutes and travel plans to their individual needs, whether they prefer the convenience of driving, the eco-friendliness of public transit, or the health benefits of walking or cycling for shorter trips.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
