What's with the sudden influx of low-lifes around Stone Road in Centreville? Is there even more section 8 housing moving into the neighborhood?

Anything south of 28 off 29 is garbage. CVille has changed a lot and you need to stay ont he north end near Fair Lakes/Stringfellow to avoid the BS.

The apartment complex across from Sunoco (west side of 29) is a tax credit property (low-income). Actually, I think there are two complexes side by side - both are rent restricted. When units aren't getting filled, management tends to relax their standards and will take anyone. Also, A lot of rental townhouses in that area are vacant and those owners are taking anyone who'll pay rent.

Except for Sully 1, Sully 2, Virginia Run, the country club, the houses past the country club, the houses behind Giant off Stone Road which aren't part of Sully 1 or 2.

I particularly critisize this statement!!! Just because it is section 8 housing doen't mean everyone that applys or lives there are "low-lifes" some people struggle and didn't have life handed to them on a silver platter.
I am 21 years old and trying to make it on my own through work, schooling, and a child on the way. With no help, and no family, only cetain options are open to me. I find it VERY disrespectful that you say something like that. Understandably there are some people that milk the government and and shouldn't be accepted into certain areas. But people like me want a solid living environment for my child and somewhere i know they would be safe. So please, next time you have a statement to make, think of everyone involved and not just the standerd stereotype, THANKS

Why do you have a child on the way?
That is a serious question - your lot is MUCH worse because of this.

Poverty is a product of free trade. From William McKinley, our last great republican president:
"Then they say 'everything would be so cheap,' if we only had free trade. Well, everything would be cheap and everybody would be cheap. I do not prize the word 'cheap.' It is not a word of hope; it is not a word of comfort; it is not a word of cheer; it is not a word of inspiration! It is the badge of poverty; it is the signal of distress; and there is not a man in the audience, not a white-haired man, who, if he will let his memory go back, will not recall, then when things were the cheapest, men were the poorest.... Cheap? Why, cheap merchandise means cheap men, and cheap men mean a cheap country; and that is not the kind of Government our fathers founded, and it is not the kind their sons mean to maintain. If you want cheap things, go where you can get them.... We want labor to be well paid."
We should have listened. Free trade brought us poverty, and poverty gives us crime. What are you going to do about it? It's time for a new FDR.

Really...if you are struggling with only you to support and no help why are you going to exasperate your situation by bring a child into the picture. Maybe you are right that everbody there are not low-lifes but damn, definitely not the brightest bulb in the pack.

You're probably thinking about London Town. There was another complex over by the library call The Knolles that was demolished a couple of years ago it was so bad. The police had their own substation there. Since then the majority of the residents moved into The Meadows which is right next door or they moved to London Town. I know in the Meadows they've had problems with overcrowding in the condos.
I agree that not EVERYONE that lives in these neighborhoods aren't all trashy or bad people. I went to school with a lot of kids that lived there. My family and I lived in The Meadows for a while while I was finishing up HS. There were some other really nice families that we've known for a long time and then there were people like the guy a couple houses down from us who was busted for having a large stash of guns and drugs in his home.

I don't know if there is Section 8 housing, but I can definitely tell you that the community has gone to the **itter. I bought in 2007 and I regret it everyday. I cannot wait to move.

Forest Glen is the new Section 8 housing unit. It's off of Sequoia and Woodmere Drive. Most of the Section 8'ers are living there.
The property has significant deferred maintenance and the management staff are equivalent to a slum landlord. They don't care about their tenants.
Homeless use the laundry facilities and sleep in the storage bins. Lots of drugs in there as well.
If you want a real scary experience, go there to live.

Conversation: I like to know what is meant here by "Secion 8 Housing" as such. There has been enormous modifications and options that are offfered via the old HUD Section 8 definition. Now there is private public partnerships, where non-profits become owner opertors of housing for seniors and other so called "low income" people.
Forest Glen is billed in the presss as a "senior housing" looks like, that is low income senior housing ?
ANyone can add knowledge and experience about such housing.
Topic 02: Key issue I see is continued loss of greenspace in Fairfax county as urbanization increase so that in another few years, there will be more greenspace left here.
It's already, only place to go for a walk is to buy something you don't need just to get out of the house and drive to Fair Oaks Mall or another nearby enclosed mall such as at Tysons Corner__ Yea, when I get to be 80 year old, I will be forced to leave Fairfax County because of this declinging greenspace and no place to go for a walk other than at the Mall to buy something you don't need.
Yea, I love the mall, but not everyday !

Most of these posts are just plain stupid and ignorant. I am a single mother, full-time nursing student, a part-time phlebotomist and I have a housing voucher. I am in no way a low life or trashy! I just need a little help until I can fully support my family. We live in a townhouse that we respect and keep clean. All of these negative stereotypes about voucher holders are just rude and uncalled for.

near stone road? bulova or that congressman who shoed her in build huge nice condos, full family size, for foreigners with green cards she's politically involved with. like $13,000,000 worth.
they are full family sized condos and the residents, i bet, have political ties and likely work for the county - could likely afford to pay and maybe do pay something (from the nice gov paychecks).
section 8 my butt. they are helping themselves to another spoon full of gov stolen funds while others live in tents.
they are facists.

A good example of the sense of entitlement created by government programs.

Tom the Realtor, I could not agree with you more! I came to this site today after a commenter on one of the Patch sites recommended it. I am sadly let down. What would be the point of posting any opinion? This site seems to be to be a primarily a gathering of hate and ignorance. I'm shocked that these commenters are my neighbors. I've lived here for 20 years, and have always found it to be, for the most part, a wonderful home. What ever happened to "love thy neighbor?" If you can't love your neighbor, please, at least, be quiet about it, or move. I can only hope that this site just happens to be where a minority of our angriest neighbors congregate, and is not, in fact, an honest representation that I have somehow managed to over-look.
