Beautiful, and walkable shopping and dining area in Northern, VA…read more It's very clean here, clear signage for establishments, outdoor areas to sit and hang out, great variety of novelty stores and restaurants. Amazing clothing and fitness stores. This place is a shoppers paradise, and even had a free on site garage !! What more could you ask for. Great concept Mosaic District.

The Mosaic District is my absolute go-to spot in Fairfax County when I don't feel like heading into…read moreDC for good food and shopping. It's the perfect central hub -- plenty of amazing restaurants, well-curated shopping, and two super convenient parking garages. I also love that the area transforms on weekends with farmers markets and special events, sometimes even closing off a main street to make it pedestrian-only, which gives it such a fun, community feel. Some of my favorite shops here are Target, West Elm, Barnes & Noble, and Lululemon. For food, you can't go wrong with Bar Taco, Alta Strada, True Food Kitchen, or grabbing a quick bowl at Playa Bowls. The mix of casual and elevated options makes it easy to find exactly what you're in the mood for. Mosaic has everything -- it's lively, modern, and thoughtfully designed. Truly one of the best places in Northern Virginia to spend a day or evening!

There is a good restaurant in here. Elephant Jumps is phenomenal. Can't say that the Five Guys or…read morePapa John's do much for me. Admittedly I miss the once famous Grevey's, that was here who knows how many years ago. Yet the Aldi and CVS that's 24 hours, can be helpful at times. There is a Bank of America here, and Clarkson Optical is a welcome addition. The AT&T store is available for their customers. To its credit this small strip mall is convenient to a lot. Just off the beltway and 50, you'll find a parking spot. It's not going to win any excitement awards, but it's a practical spot to visit.

Since moving to the area 9 months ago, I have come here nearly everyday and have come to love this…read moreplaza! Besides the fact that there are so many places I frequent, like the gas station (they take those Giant points!), CVS, The UPS Store , Aldi, and Starbucks, I really enjoy it for 2 reasons: 1. They have a wonderful section with outdoor seating that is a perfect place to sit and hang out with your cup of coffee; and (2) There are always so many friendly people in the parking lot! It's kind of funny, but all the time people walk by smiling and saying hello and sometimes we even end up having a short conversation! It's great!! I don't know what it is about this place, but I definitely really enjoy and appreciate it! :)

As stated by others in the reviews, beware of the lower level parking lot at Avenir Pl. I was just…read moretowed 45 minutes after parking there for a hair cut. I have parked there many times before and I'm aware of the need to press the free parking button on the meter. I did press the button and I'm sure the 2 hours appeared. But there is no way to prove this. I did talk to Harris Teeter's manager and he told me they tow regardless of the meter and recommend parking on the upper level that Harris Teeter owns as they don't tow there. Also be aware that the signage on the lower level is limited and the towing enforced signage does not even include a phone number for the towing company. I had to walk up to Harris Teeter's garage to find a sign and number. My recommendation is to stay away from the lower level parking that is shared by Harris Teeter and Avenir Pl. As even honest people can find themselves paying 200 bucks through no fault of their own, it's just not worth the risk.

There's not a lot to get excited about here. This strip mall needs a facelift. When Safeway and…read morePetco are exciting, let's just say there's room to improve. Yes it serves a purpose, but a lot of stores here aren't all that super. Are there other strip malls like this? Absolutely. Taco Bell does good business. As for traffic, definitely be prepared for defensive driving. A lot of parking spot cutting seems to be a trend. Also I don't like leaving 236 from here, as the congestion and lights set up isn't helpful with moving vehicles. I wish the development could offer more. Yes there's a few restaurants and a laundromat. For me that means don't need to go here. Maybe others view it more favorably.
