Local History

Kingstowne had previously been the site of the Leehigh Cement Company’s gravel operation. The land was rezoned in 1984 as a mixed-use development. Local home builders Miller & Smith undertook the project, which was at the time, the second largest rezoning project in Fairfax County’s history.

Local Community

The very active Kingstowne Residential Owners Corporation (KROC) provides a vibrant social life for residents. It offers group fitness, karate, massage, personal training and tennis lessons as well as a club for just about any interest – from photography to Spanish, from chess to line dancing. The KROC hosts many special events such as paint n’ sips, comedy shows, and a Halloween haunted house. Kingstowne Kindness is an KROC-sponsored group for residents seeking to do local charitable and volunteer work. The Kingstowne Farmers Market is open on Fridays from May through October.
