Fairfax County
North Hill
Fairfax County officials are working with CHPPENN — partnership between the Virginia-based Community Housing Partners and Philadelphia-based developer Pennrose — to develop 33 acres along Richmond Highway.
The housing project, called North Hill, will include 216 affordable multifamily apartments, 63 units of affordable independent living for older adults — plus, there will be 175 market-rate townhomes and a 12-acre park.

Fairfax County officials explained:
"Decades ago, the Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FCRHA) purchased the former Woodley-Nightingale Mobile Home Park, on Richmond Highway in the Mount Vernon District, with the intent to bring high-quality, affordable homes to the area. The work began with the development of the Woodley Hills Estates mobile home community on the south side of Dart Drive.
"Now, after years of discussions, planning and community engagement, work is set to begin, through a public-private partnership, to complete the transformation of the remaining 33 acres into a mixed-income, affordable and market rate housing community comprised of multifamily and senior rental apartments and for-sale townhomes, and a new park."
Project updates, meeting announcements, presentations and more will be available via the project website at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/housing/community-development/north-hill.
