Penthouse-Level Living in Falls Church

Unit 1305 at Lake James sits on the top residential floor of its building, offering elevated views and a quieter position within the community. The one-bedroom layout spans 729 square feet and is organized for efficient, low-maintenance living.

The HOA structure covers a broad range of services — common area maintenance, insurance, lawn care, pool access, snow removal, and trash — reducing the day-to-day overhead that often accompanies homeownership. Assigned parking is included with the unit.

Falls Church’s 22042 zip code places residents within easy reach of the Dunn Loring-Merrifield Metro station on the Orange and Silver lines, as well as the retail and dining corridors along Route 7 and Leesburg Pike. The surrounding area includes Mosaic District, a walkable mixed-use destination with restaurants, a farmers market, and independent retail.

At a list price of $275,000, this residence represents one of the more accessible entry points into the Northern Virginia condo market with direct Metro connectivity nearby.

The Residence
Unit 1305 occupies the penthouse floor of the Lake James building, a position that provides elevated sightlines and separation from street-level activity. The one-bedroom, one-bath layout is 729 square feet, built in 2000, and designed for straightforward, manageable living.
HOA Coverage
The monthly HOA fee covers common area maintenance, building insurance, lawn maintenance, pool access, snow removal, and trash collection. Assigned parking is also included, consolidating most recurring ownership costs into a single monthly obligation.
Location Context
Falls Church’s Nicosh Circle sits within the Seven Corners and Merrifield orbit, with the Dunn Loring-Merrifield Metro station on the Orange and Silver lines accessible by a short drive or bus connection. Mosaic District, with its concentration of dining and retail, is nearby.
Value Position
At $275,000, this penthouse-level residence is priced at the lower end of the Northern Virginia condo spectrum while offering a top-floor position, community amenities, and included parking — a combination that is increasingly difficult to find in this submarket.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Property

Key details about the residence, building, and location to help you evaluate this opportunity.
