Welcome to 438 N. Park Drive in Cathcart Springs!
This warm and inviting 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home offers the best of all worlds. Nestled in a tranquil, green setting, it provides a peaceful retreat while being just steps from every modern amenity. The neighborhood boasts a fantastic Walk Score of 85, thanks to its close proximity to Ballston Metro and the vibrant Ballston Quarter, where you’ll find an array of restaurants, shops, and entertainment options, including a state-of-the-art movie theater.
With easy access to the brand-new Harris Teeter, Target, CVS, gyms, and the newly rebuilt Lubber Run Community Center featuring workout facilities and pickleball courts, all your essentials are nearby. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the surrounding parks, nature trails, and a serene community pond alive with frogs, fish, and other wildlife.
For those with vehicles, this home includes two parking spaces (1 reserved & 1 additional) and access to zoned street parking—but with so many conveniences close by, driving is optional.
The self-managed HOA fosters a true sense of community, with active committees focused on welcoming, grounds, architecture, and social events. Neighbors stay connected through a vibrant listserv, and the mix of ages—from families with young children to working professionals and retirees—adds to the neighborhood’s charm.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to live in an idyllic, community-focused neighborhood while being close to everything Ballston has to offer. Come see why Cathcart Springs is truly the best of all worlds
