Parkfairfax, Historic residential district in Alexandria, United States.

Parkfairfax extends across 132 acres of land, containing 1,684 townhouse-style condominium units distributed among 286 Colonial Revival buildings.

Metropolitan Life Insurance Company developed this residential complex in 1941 at President Roosevelt's request to provide housing for Pentagon workers during World War II.

The community maintains its architectural identity through Colonial Revival design elements, reflecting the mid-20th century suburban development patterns in Northern Virginia.

Residents have access to three swimming pools, eight tennis courts, two volleyball courts, exercise facilities, and a library within the community grounds.

Former United States Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford lived in this residential community during their terms as members of Congress.
