The Terrapin community sits in the Franconia area of Alexandria, a well-established residential pocket in Fairfax County with straightforward access to the Capital Beltway, I-395, and the Franconia-Springfield Metro station on the Blue Line. The location connects residents to the broader Northern Virginia employment corridor and to downtown Washington with equal practicality.

This two-bedroom townhouse, built in 1996, spans 1,162 square feet across a traditional multi-level configuration. Two full baths serve the upper level, while a half bath is positioned on the main floor for everyday convenience.

About 6001 Terrapin Pl #6001

The Terrapin Place townhouse is a 1996-built, two-bedroom home spanning 1,162 square feet across a traditional multi-level configuration in Alexandria’s Franconia corridor. The layout positions two full baths on the upper level and a half bath on the main floor, a practical arrangement for everyday living. Assigned parking is included with the unit, and the HOA manages exterior maintenance, insurance, lawn care, pool access, snow removal, road maintenance, trash, and water service.

The Franconia area of Alexandria occupies the southern portion of Fairfax County, bordered by the Capital Beltway to the north and positioned along the I-95 and I-395 corridors.
