Tysons Corner, a vibrant area in Fairfax County, Virginia, offers numerous opportunities for living, working, and recreation. However, the cost of living can be a significant concern for many. To address this, the Workforce Dwelling Unit (WDU) Rental Program has been designed to help residents afford to live in Fairfax County near major employment centers and public transportation, to help avoid long, expensive commutes.

The WDU Rental Program can help you commute less and live more, at an affordable rate you deserve. The Plan encourages all Tysons projects with a residential component to provide a percentage of their units as Affordable and/or Workforce Dwelling Units (ADUs/WDUs).

The Tysons Plan also recommends that new nonresidential development contribute $3.00 per square foot to a housing trust fund dedicated to providing affordable and workforce housing opportunities in Tysons.

Let's delve into some of the apartment communities participating in the WDU program, with a focus on Lumen and Haden.

Apartment runs into issues, but maintenance does their best. It's a bit on the pricey side, but unfortunately it's seems that all apartments are just raising their prices despite no real improvements to the apartments or building itself.

The apartments are high-quality and the amenities are abundant. And I don't know the team behind the showers, but the water pressure + space is something I look forward to every day. Additionally,
