Bucknell

Bucknell, also known as the subdivisions of "Bucknell Manor" and "Bucknell Heights", is a community of duplex townhomes and Cape-Cod style single family homes in Fairfax County Virginia just outside Old Towne Alexandria. Bucknell is located off Fort Hunt Road between Rt. 1 and the George Washington Parkway and parallels the George Washington Parkway. Bucknell is close to shopping, Old Town, the Metro at Huntington and is an easy commute into DC, Alexandria or most places around the Beltway.

History

Bucknell was built in the late 1940's and 1950's during the earliest days of the growth of Fairfax County. Although the homes were built as starter homes, many of them have been expanded and some have been knocked down to make room for larger homes. Because the surrounding area was built up forty to fifty years ago, all necessary community amenities are fully developed.

The library, county recreation center and community grocery stores are within walking distance. Traffic in the area is calm, uncongested and easy-going. The nearby public and private schools are among the best-rated schools in the nation.

For many years Bucknell was frozen in time, a blue-collar, middle-America throw-back to a forgotten time in Northern Virginia. But now Bucknell is once again coming into its own. Bucknell is strategically located, highly sought after, and a wonderful place to live.
