Newington Forest Community Association

About Us

 

Newington Forest - Your Community
Newington Forest stretches along nearly two miles of the South Run of Pohick Creek. Construction began in 1977 as 734 acres of heavily forested land were carved into 1808 units; 1017 townhouses and 791 single family homes. A detailed map of the community can be found HERE.


More than 50% of the land is set aside for common areas. Newington Forest has a 25 meter swimming pool, a community center, six tennis courts, 13 tot lots, three basketball courts, one ball field, five miles of hiker-biker trails, and last but not least, our own elementary school!
 

Newington Forest Community Association
The Newington Forest Community Association (NFCA) is like a small city run almost entirely by volunteers. Every owner and resident is a member of the NFCA.


The Association and all residents are governed by the Covenants and By-Laws contained in the Newington Forest Community Association Governing Documents "Green Book". You should have received a copy at closing; however, additional copies are available at the community center for reference.

 

The Association is run by a seven member Board of Directors. The Association maintains the common grounds and streets in our community, enforces the Covenants and By-Laws; maintains and operates recreational facilities; provides services such as trash and snow removal; and preserves and protects the property values of our community. The members of the Board are elected to one year terms at the annual meeting each February. The names and phone numbers of the current Board members and committee chairman are listed in each issue of the Newsletter distributed every other month.

 

The community manager handles many of the daily operations of the community. The office hours are 9 AM - 1 PM Monday through Friday. You may also call the office, 451-8563 and leave a message on the recorder. The Association Office is located at 8201 Southrun Rd., Springfield, VA. 22153.

Architectural Review Committee

The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30pm in the Community Center.

The primary responsibility of the Architectural Review Committee is to advise the Board of Directors, in a reasonable and productive manner, on issues affecting the exterior lot alterations and maintenance.  In accomplishing this goal, the Board of Directors shall assign the Architectural Review  Committee with tasks from time to time that may include but not be limited to:

  1. Preliminary review and approval of applications for certain exterior modifications. 
  2. Coordinating routine community inspections to ensure that lots are maintained in good condition and detect any unapproved lot alteration.
  3. Initiating enforcement action against those owners whose lots are not maintained in conformance with the design and maintenance criteria adopted by the Board of Directors.
