Halloween is a month away, but people are already starting to wonder how it’s going to play out.
Health authorities are cautioning against trick-or-treating during the pandemic. So far it has not been officially banned, but there is historical precedence for doing so.
In Stafford, Embrey Mill is known for its active, connected, and outdoors-focused way of life. Since its debut, the community has grown into one of the area’s most recognizable master-planned neighborhoods, defined by its parks, trails, gathering spaces, and strong sense of community. That lifestyle continues to evolve.
At Cascades at Embrey Mill, Brookfield Residential offers a fresh perspective on active adult living within the established community—one that feels more modern, more social, and more in step with how people want to live today. Condominiums start at $399,990 and offer main-level living—with your kitchen, living, dining, and primary suite all on one floor—plus private elevators, all in the Cascades neighborhood.
Equally important, the homes are designed for low-maintenance living, with lawn care, snow removal, and exterior upkeep all included, so homeowners can spend less time managing a home and more time enjoying their day.
More Ways to Stay Active. More Ways to Connect.
Life here isn’t about slowing down. It’s about having more ways to spend your time.
Homeowners can start the morning with a pickleball match or a walk along nearby trails, meet friends for coffee, or spend the afternoon enjoying the clubhouse and community spaces. With a full calendar of clubs, gatherings, and social events, there’s always something happening.
And because Cascades is part of the larger Embrey Mill community, that experience extends even further, with access to parks, pools, dining, and neighborhood destinations just moments from home.
Homes Designed for the Way You Live Now
At the center of it all are modern 55+ active adult condominiums with private elevators, thoughtfully designed for the way people want to live today.
Brookfield Residential’s thoughtfully designed homes offer main-level living with contemporary finishes and open layouts that support both comfort and flexibility. Private elevators, outdoor living spaces, and attached garages make everyday living easier—whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet day at home. (more…)

Beyer Blasts Trump Taxes –“The revelation that Donald Trump paid almost no personal income taxes for many years is not surprising, but it is outrageous. Far more important, however, is Trump’s use of the government for his personal benefit rather than that of the American people.” [Press Release]
Heather Keppler said in an email obtained by ARLnow that she was pressured to step down as the Arlington County Democratic Committee’s captain for the Lexington precinct because of her support of Symone Walker, a “lifelong Democrat.”
Though School Board races in Virginia are technically nonpartisan, with no party designation next to candidate names on the ballot, Arlington Democrats endorse candidates each year through a party caucus. Walker, a federal employee, initially sought the endorsement, but withdrew after another candidate filed complaints about her candidacy being a Hatch Act violation due to her federal employment.

Last week, Arlington County staff held the community kick-off for the Pentagon City Planning Study.
The purpose of this multi-phase process is to determine the area’s capacity for future growth and ultimately make suggestions for zoning and land use changes. I hope the County recognizes the incredible opportunity to welcome more people into our dynamic, transit-accessible neighborhood by putting room for people above capacity for cars.
