Fairfax Crest Opens With 279 Affordable Homes Near County Gov't Center
Lincoln Avenue Communities and Fairfax County housing officials unveiled Fairfax Crest, adding 279 affordable units to the county government campus.
Lincoln Avenue Communities (LAC) and the Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FCRHA) on Monday marked the grand opening of Fairfax Crest, a new affordable housing development situated on the grounds of the Fairfax County Government Center in Fairfax, Virginia.
