Carlyn  Square  is a bucolic oasis in the heart of bustling, historic Bailey's Crossroads in Fairfax County, Virginia — near the cultural diversity of Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, and Washington, D.C.

Built in 1971, our 37 townhouses, picnic area, and tennis-basketball hoops court are tucked away on a cul-de-sac at the far end of Spring Lane off Columbia Pike. We're just inside Fairfax County's border with Arlington, between Leesburg Pike and Carlin Springs Road — close to several bus routes. (Map)

We have an active, engaged community association administered by an elected Board of Directors and appointed subcommittees. Our square is a mix of new and long-time residents, both renters and owners. A few are original owners while others have lived here for two or three decades, which speaks to the great quality of life in our friendly and conveniently located neighborhood.

Carlyn Square Kids Learn Safety Tips from First Responders

Police and fire vehicles rolled into Carlyn Square Saturday morning, Sept. 14th,  for what some  on lookers might have thought was an emergency. The sirens didn't blare, however, and the Square was placid. The cops and firefighters arrived at the invitation of the community to teach the neighborhood's children about safety. It's possible the adults learned something, too.
