June 16, 2020 — Washington, D.C. Just months after opening, District Towns at Parkside is officially sold out.
The new urban townhomes offered by the Knutson Companies were in high demand as the latest addition to the
growing Parkside community in Northeast D.C. The final settlements are almost complete, and residents are
moving into these impressive garage townhomes, just a short walk across a new pedestrian bridge from Minnesota
Avenue Metro Station.
Blending urban convenience and community values, District Towns is the latest step in the transformation of one
of D.C.’s fastest-growing areas. A friendly, vibrant community, Parkside has everything you need within walking
distance and is close to so much more.
The Parkside community includes expansive green spaces surrounding the community including access to the
Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, just a few blocks away. There are also three schools for pre-k through grade 12, medical
services at Parkside Health Center, as well as 50,000 square feet of planned shopping, dining and entertainment.

recreation, restaurants, retail and transit. District Towns represented the Virginia-based homebuilder’s first
venture in the D.C. market, but The Knutson Companies will soon introduce plans for new townhomes in another
blossoming D.C. community.
At District Towns, a percentage of the available townhomes were set aside as part of the city’s affordable housing
program.
Every homebuyer can expect Knutson’s award-winning architectural designs and personalized interior design
experience, plus quality and care from a locally owned builder. It’s the reason that the Knutson Companies have
earned a high satisfaction rating from their homeowners.

“We are truly honored to be among those selected as Loudoun’s Favorites,” Knutson said. “We live and work in Loudoun County, and it’s a pleasure every day to get to serve our community and provide our homebuyers with a truly special place to live.”

July 22, 2019 — Leesburg, VA. Speaking as part of a panel of local real estate leaders discussing the state of housing in Loudoun County, Knutson Companies President Donald Knutson said he is seeing a greater demand among Millennials looking for their first home in the county.
In the nation’s wealthiest county, opportunities for what some would describe as “affordable housing” can be few and far between. Knutson noted that the interest is there among home shoppers.
“It’s a rush selling a house to first-time buyers, they love it,” Knutson said at the July 15 event. “We’re selling to lots of them, they are definitely attracted, but you’ve got to have the place and you’ve got to have the price. Without the second one, it isn’t happening.”
The panel noted that a new comprehensive plan, passed by the county in June, could help pave the way by allowing more dense housing developments to be built near major transit and commercial corridors.
“The key component to actually getting this type of housing is having zoning that lets you do it,” Knutson said. “There are many builders that would love to do it because there is huge demand, but they have to get the densities and deliver the product more effectively.”
Chair Phyllis Randall of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisor was a featured speaker at the event. Other members of the panel included Peterson Cos. President of Development Taylor Chess, Lerner Senior Vice President Jim Policaro and Rappaport Senior Director Susan Bourgeois.
