Franconia is a neighborhood in southwest Alexandria just a few miles from Washington, DC. Franconia’s proximity to the Interstate 495 and 85 junction puts this city in an ideal location. The Franconia-Springfield Station, served by the WMATA (also known as the Metro), allows for easy commutes as well. Apartments, houses, condos, and townhouses make up the diverse rental market of Franconia and are priced similarly to rentals in the DC metro area.
The eastern border of Franconia partially encompasses the sprawling Huntley Meadows Park while other scenic parks dot the inside of the neighborhood. Franconia also contains a few restaurants and shopping centers, but a step west of the neighborhood will lead renters to a large cluster of shopping malls off Interstate 94, including Springfield Town Center and the Concord Shopping Center.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Property Ratings at Manchester Lakes
I moved into this property in April 2017, and it has been a nightmare from day one! The HVAC system on the entire fourth floor of my building has not worked since I moved in, and neither has the HVAC system in my apartment. After two months of complaining about the AC not working they gave me [one] window unit AC that sits in my livingroom window to this day 6-18-2017. There are also other tenats all through out the apartment complex that have AC units hanging out of their windows due to inoperable HVAC systems in their apartments. The hallways in the building often reek of trash from the trash room not being emptied on a regular basis and the hallway carpets are full of water stains from leaks, and stains from traffic and spills. I thought this community would be a great place to meet other retired people to go to events and socialize, but most of these tenants are unhappy with the property upkeep and they are anxiously waiting to move out. I would suggest anyone considering moving to this complex go through all of the buildings and look at the up keep, drive around and look at all of the AC units hanging out of windows, and most importantly ask the present tenants their opinion of the place. I bet you won't find one happy tenant. RENTER BEWARE!
