Estimate Title Costs →Update Oct 13, 2026: A major new affordable housing development just got the green light in Tysons, and it could be a game-changer for first-time homebuyers in Northern Virginia.
Lincoln Avenue Communities has submitted a rezoning application to build two all-affordable high-rises near the Greensboro Metro station—totaling 525 new residential units. The project is a partnership with the Fairfax County Redevelopment and Housing Authority (FCRHA).
Here's what this means for buyers:
Why This Matters for Title Insurance
If you're shopping for a home in the Tysons area, here's what to know:
1. New Construction Means New Title Considerations
When buying brand-new construction, your title insurance needs may differ from resale homes. See our guide on the role of title companies in new construction transactions. You'll want to confirm:
- The builder has clear title to the land
- Any liens from construction financing are properly released
- Zoning and permits are fully in order (especially important for these rezoned parcels)
2. Affordable Housing = Income Restrictions
These aren't typical market-rate condos. Buyers will need to meet income eligibility requirements—usually capped at a percentage of Area Median Income (AMI). Plan accordingly with your lender.
3. Metro Proximity Adds Value (and Complexity)
Being walking distance from the Greensboro Metro station is a major selling point. But transit-adjacent properties sometimes have special considerations (see our Arlington settlement services guide for similar metro-adjacent dynamics). But transit-adjacent properties sometimes have:
- Condominium regime documents to review
- Special assessments for metro-area amenities
- Parking easements to consider
What Happens Next
The rezoning application is currently under review. If approved, construction could begin in 2027, with move-in ready units possibly available by 2029.
