This has plenty of room, or places for pedestrians to back out if necessary quickly. The crosswalks are very well marked also. Also getting in and out of here via vehicle isn't a chore. Unfortunately while that's good, I can't say there's a lot here. A Giant grocery store, Starbucks, walk in urgent care. Also Long and Foster Realtors have a big office, if you're in the market for a house. Frankly it's boring, but so many strip malls are the same vibe.

This is a decent strip mall. First off it's definitely the prettiest in Northern Virginia, and a…read moremajor kudos to those responsible for the renovations. All who own these types of shopping centers, go for your look via their architecture as it's simple yet more refined. Parking in here can be a struggle though. That's because a lot of people are in the West Springfield area, which seems to be a hot spot for the yuppies of the region. There's a Whole Foods or "Paycheck" here, and also some yoga and massage type of establishments. On a plus note love the Planet Fitness. It's one of the best in the chain. Also the Starbucks and Walgreens are convenient for the basics. The BGR burger restaurant really doesn't do anything for me, because there are so many competitors, and it just is rather bland and like the others. You may have some issues with traffic, as Old Keene Mill and Rolling Road can be cantankerous. Yet this shopping center serves a purpose, and I'll give it three stars, an average rating.

I swear I even looked for parking restrictions before I went away! When you are new to the place and it is already pitch dark at night, I doubt I'm the only one with the problem. In fact another woman got her car towed around the same time and we shared a Uber to the towing garage... Shame. Could have been a fun night.

They do have a Baskin Robbin's and a Subway. If you like Starbucks, the one they have is alright. The problem is what's the draw? There are a few nondescript restaurants. Also there appears to be some medical offices. This mall looks dilapidated, and in need of good tenants and better looking materials. No exciting tenants of note, and I'm not sure what the future holds here.

We have been going to this 'small strip mall' for more than 30 years and enjoy the convenience,…read moreeasy parking front and back of mall, lack of congestion inside and a commune area with table and chairs, The latest redesign inside and outside is one of several over the years. It contains a Giant Food Store, as its main draw. There are other businesses that come and go and has recently opened a seniors center run by Fairfax County. There is a small separate strip mall in the same complex that has several other businesses. The negative review written by Mike R. is only one opinion, and disagree with it. It is Not a Dump!!! says me! I have never seen a cleaner 'strip mall' that has been around for over 30 years. As with the economy so goes the opening and closing of businesses. I consider it a 'Family Friendly Place' and have never felt repelled while shopping there. Thank-You - to the managers of Huntsman Square Shopping Center!!

It also has a stand alone AAA shop. This strip mall is directly across from the famous Eden Center and all too often people will park in this strip mall parking lot for Eden Center, making it very hard to find a space and there is never any monitoring or any repercussions. This often makes it hard to find parking. Other than that it's a nice little strip mall with fairly easy access in and out .

It was a sad day when Jason's Deli left here, as they were a pretty good restaurant. Now they have some others, but they aren't exciting. There is a Whole Foods here. Also they have a Noodles and Company, with a Starbucks that provides an occasional caffeine boost. Bassett Furniture has an occasional deal, and some people really love Orange Theory. Personal opinion would rather have a full gym instead. On a plus note it's close to Tyson's Corner Mall, and the parking situation is a cinch.
