Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing (APAH), the Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FCRHA), and Fairfax County officials celebrated the opening of Ilda’s Overlook Senior Residences in Fairfax, Virginia providing 80 affordable homes for seniors aged 62 and above.
Coming winter 2024, the thoughtfully designed 1 and 2-bedroom layouts feature modern kitchens and spacious closets. Apartments range in size from 600 to 1,000 square feet. Residents experience a host of community amenities, including a fitness center, multipurpose room, shuttle service, in-unit washers and dryers, free Wi-Fi, community spaces, and gardens.

Less than twenty miles west of Washington on Interstate 66, Fairfax is a small suburban community that has become quite popular with DC-area commuters seeking a quiet home environment. Families love the quaint atmosphere, excellent public schools, and friendly neighbors. Local community festivals celebrating everything from Irish heritage to the arts to chocolate are always popular with the locals, and the city’s public parks, playgrounds, and walkable downtown district give folks ample opportunities to spend time outdoors.
