        <Name>Spring 2008 Update on Tysons Corner Condos</Name>
        <Summary>Tysons Corner Condos on the Market in April 2008</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;h2 style="MARGIN-TOP: 2px"&gt;With or without an extension of the D.C. metro through Tysons Corner, there's no doubt that this valuable corner of real estate in Northern Virginia is a growth hotspot.&amp;nbsp; Tysons Corner is billed as the downtown of Fairfax County and between the massive shopping malls, abundance of office space, and myriad fine restaurants, it certainly lives up to its reputation. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="Tysons Corner" height="135" alt="Tysons Corner" hspace="8" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/8/5/4/7/ar120741818174589.jpg" width="154" align="right" /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you are &lt;a href="http://www.brianblock.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;relocating to Northern Virginia&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and work for an accounting firm, consulting firm, technology company, law firm, hotel, or in retail, chances are high that your new position will be in the Tysons Corner area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Single family homes around Tysons Corner which is on the border of McLean and Vienna can be quite expensive considering that McLean sports some of priciest abodes in Northern Virginia.&amp;nbsp; If your looking for low maintenance and more budget friendly options, you may consider a Tysons Corner condo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Learn more about Tysons Corner condos and the Tysons Corner area by reading&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://activerain.com/blogsview/304333/Tysons-Corner-Condominiums-How"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;Tysons Corner Condominiums: How Much Do They Cost?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;

is &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;walking distance to more shopping and restaurants than you can shake a stick at.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp; This gated condo community will also be walking distance to the future metro stop (if and when the bureaucrats stop their bickering and get it built).&amp;nbsp; Low condo fees and the premium location make the Fountains an attractive pick.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Currently there are 6 units available:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
