Re - Grand Opening this weekend March 15-16th at The Residences at Liberty Center condos in Arlington, VA. Liberty Center is reopening their doors after putting their sales on hiatus in order to settle the previous units under contract (most likely to keep any previous buyers from backing out of a deal if prices were reduced). Hopefully they’ll come out with competitive prices to give the Phoenix and Hawthorne a run for their money! The convenience of the Ballston Metro Station and Ballston Common Mall is just within a short walking distance.  The interior of the building and the finishes in the units are very nice, but the prices are nothing special.  You’re paying for the location and convenience of living in Arlington.

The units are your typical Arlington prices:

• 1 bedroom 695 sq. ft.
  • $360,900-$423,900

• 1 bedroom + den 775 sq. ft.
  • $425,900-$473,900

• 1 bedroom + den 879 sq. ft.
  • $$463,900-$505,900

• 2 bedroom 2 bath 1,183 sq. ft.
  • $584,900-$632,900

•  2 bedroom 2 bath 1,147 sq. ft.
  • $578,900-$720,900

• 2 bedroom 2 bath + den 1,254 sq. ft.
  • $614,900-$682,900

• 2 bedroom 2 bath + den 1,022 sq. ft.
  • $492,900-$588,900

Condo fee ranges from $349-$591 and includes water, 24 hour front desk service, fitness center, roof top terrace and pool, party room, and media center.
Condo features include: Spacious, light-filled living areas, Floor-to-ceiling windows, Hardwood floors, Gourmet kitchens composed of granite, maple and stainless steel, Elegant baths with 12″ x 12″ ceramic tile and granite vanities, Separate glass-enclosed showers, Soaking tubs in select condos, and Pre-wired for Verizon FiOS Internet and TV.

A unique high rise condo in Fairfax, VA known as the Elan at East Market. The luxury of this condo is unlike anything you’ve seen in the area. Filled with mostly garden-style- 4 story condominiums in Fairfax, this Northern Virginia high rise condo is in a league of its own. You have convenient access to Rt. 66, Rt. 28, Rt 29, Rt. 50 and Fairfax County Parkway. The Elan is located right in the heart of the hottest area of Fairfax VA- smack dab in between Fair Oaks Mall, Fairfax Corner, Fairfax Towne Center, Fair Lakes and many fine restaurants like PF Changs, Rio Grande, Coastal Flats, Ruth Chris, Cheesecake Factory and many more are right around the corner.

With the convenience of an on-site gym, state-of-the-art business center, underground garage parking, two-level cascading pool and designer party room, you have everything you need. Prices start in the mid $200k’s for 1 bedroom condos with 675 - 736 sqft.  Prices for the 2 bedroom condos start in the lower 400’s with 1078 - 1201 sqft. Though the Elan is definitely a unique, urban-type condominium in an area of Northern Virginia that isn’t accustomed to this type of product, it shouldn’t come with the Arlington price tag. The 1 BR’s are priced ok, but the 2 BR’s are overpriced by about 50k in my opinion. They would be a good buy selling around the $350k price range. I’m betting on the developer coming to their senses soon and dropping the price to fair market Fairfax value. Otherwise they will find themselves in a bind if they keep the current price tag.

An underground garage parking space is included in the price. Units feature: 9-10 ft ceilings, crown moulding in living/dining room, gas fireplaces available, balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows, track lighting, GE appliances, granite counters, maple cabinetry, ceramic tile in kitchen and foyer, and separate whirlpool tub and shower in master bath. Some of the loft units have higher ceilings with exposed duct work for the city-living urban appeal.

If you would like to visit the Elan condos in Fairfax, Virginia, be sure to contact us at 1-888-998-9455 or at info@homezill.com to receive a 2% cash back home buyer rebate at the Elan or any other new Fairfax VA homes.

RE/MAX International is the nation’s number one real estate franchise, and the number ten franchise overall, according to Entrepreneur Magazine’s 29th Annual “Franchise 500 Survey.” RE/MAX has held the honor of the top real estate franchiser for eight of the past ten years. The survey, which appears in this month’s edition of Entrepreneur Magazine ranks RE/MAX among the top ten in four different franchise categories. The Denver-based real estate franchiser was ranked #1 in the low-cost franchise category, #7 among global franchises, #10 in the fastest-growing franchise category, and 10th among ALL franchises. Its closest competitor in the real estate industry was ranked in the 43rd position.

“We are not surprised by our high ranking, given the quality of our affiliated broker/owners and sales associates,” said Margaret Kelly, CEO of RE/MAX International. “They lead the industry in experience and productivity and we’re proud to offer them a comprehensive array of support services.”

The Entrepreneur Franchise 500 Survey is the most comprehensive franchise ranking in the world. The initial survey was conducted in 1980, and it was the first ranking of franchises in the industry. Over the years, the ranking procedure has been refined to provide the most accurate formula for identifying today’s top franchises.
