Who:  The HOA consists of 191 homes and homeowners in the Winston Knolls II (Rolling Valley Section 8D) subdivision.  All homeowners in this subdivision are by law members of the HOA.

Why:  When the subdivision was constructed in 1975-76, the developer established an agreement with Fairfax County in accordance with Virginia Code to set aside portions of the property as “open space” that is owned in-common by the homeowners and cannot be developed or sold.  This “open space”, also known as “common lands,”  consists of three parcels totaling just over 8 acres of wooded land (see map below).  The HOA exists to maintain and manage these common lands and carry liability insurance for them on behalf of the homeowners.
