I recently went here and a few things have changed. Police drive to the end of Phoenix Drive to check out if anyone is there not infrequently and there are now multiple no trespassing signs on the fence at the end of the street. Also some of the entrances to the buildings are boarded up with plywood but you can still get in all of them, though you need to climb in a window to get into the barn/barn-like structure. It's still a really cool place but just keep in mind that you are trespassing and might get caught but you probably won't get arrested for it as long as all you're doing is looking, I wasn't arrested.
I got scared off by the policeman, who was actually pretty chill about it by the way, but I still wanted to return so I tried to find who owns it to get their permission to go back. So after a couple hours of research I found out using a combination of google maps and the fairfax county government website's real estate assessments and taxes that the houses are technically on Marseilles Drive and are owned by FCW Limited Liability Company. So there's no way they're gonna give anyone permission to go there.
