FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS: WHY BUYING A HOUSE IS BITTERSWEET

Twenty years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Kelley rented their two-bedroom apartment at Wexford Manor where they raised their family of four. Now a dream is coming true as they prepare to move into their first purchased house in Prince William County. "It feels good to know that everyone in my family will have their own bedroom," Mrs. Kelley said. Yet the move is bittersweet because her family will no longer enjoy Wexford Manor's community spirit.

"The community resources offered to residents are really valuable, Mrs. Kelley said of the adult and children's programs.  The Community Resource Center staff was always helpful whenever we had a question." The Kelley children participated in the after-school program each year, where they received homework assistance and tutoring in reading, writing, science, and math. "The attention my children received in the after-school program was very helpful to us as parents," she added, noting her busy work schedule.  "I had peace of mind knowing that my children's homework assignments were completed and checked for spelling."

"We will miss the convenient location of Wexford Manor, too," Mrs. Kelley concluded, referring to its easy access to Routes 50 and I-495, and its proximity to public playgrounds, shopping centers, and a variety of independent restaurants  in Falls Church.
