About Us
Linden at Fair Ridge is a 128-unit, garden-style condominium community located in Fairfax, Virginia. Built in 1986, the 16 buildings sit among mature foliage and offer spacious 1- and 2-bedroom units with unique floor plans. From 2009-2016, Linden underwent a massive building renovation project using top-of-the-line products and bringing new vibrancy to the community. Come visit our recapitalized and beautiful community today!
Our Neighborhood
Three homeowners associations are located in the Fair Ridge area: Linden at Fair Ridge, Fair Ridge Community, and Fairmont Condominium Associations. Residents of all three homeowners associations are also members of the Fair Ridge Recreation Association (FRRA), which maintains the following recreational facilities:
-
Outdoor Swimming Pool: Open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.
-
Club House: Available for rental to all FRRA members in good standing. Rental fee is $75 for Friday - Sunday and holidays, and $50 for Monday - Thursday. Rental arrangements can be made by contacting Cardinal Management Group (703.591.1818).
-
Playgrounds: Two main playgrounds are located in the Fair Ridge community. One is on Fair Ridge Drive, next to the pool and is pictured above. This playground is owned and maintained by the FRRA. A second playground is located behind Sleepy Lake Court and is maintained by the Fair Ridge Community Association, a separate entity.
-
Tennis Courts: Tennis courts maintained by the FRRA are located at the south end of Fair Ridge Drive near Monument Drive. Fair Ridge residents may obtain a key to the tennis courts from Cardinal Management Group (703.591.1818) for a $1 key charge. There are also public tennis and basketball courts in the Fair Ridge County Park just off Meadow Field Drive.
Located in Fairfax County, the Fair Ridge community affords residents access to one of the best school systems in the country. It is also convenient to the main campus of George Mason University and several campuses of Northern Virginia Community College. Virginia Tech and University of Virginia also have campuses in nearby Falls Church.
With easy access to Route 50 and Interstate 66, Fair Ridge is convenient to downtown Washington, D.C. The community is also served by both the Metro and Fairfax Connector bus systems for quick trips to the Vienna Metro Station. Washington Dulles International Airport is just 12 miles away and Ronald Reagan National Airport about 20.
Both shopping and entertainment are located nearby in Fairfax Towne Center (walking distance), Fair Oaks Mall, Fairfax Corner and Fair Lakes Shopping Center. These centers have grocery and department stores, movie theaters, restaurants, specialty shops and more.

New Policy Resolution on Competitive Bidding to Get Best Value
Linden recently adopted a new policy resolution (20-01) concerning requirements to obtain multiple proposals for major work. This is intended to institutionalize the best practice of getting separate proposals from at least three separate vendors for any work that will cost $1,000 or more (except for emergency situations).
You can download a copy of Policy Resolution 20-01 by clicking here. You can also request a hard copy from Management by emailing k.sherman@cardinalmanagementgroup.com (Note, the Association will be charged with this option).
