The Reserve at May Hill, a five-acre development of single-family houses in Fairfax County, Va., offers a glimpse behind the scenes at how a new community springs up. Rose Hill Farm Drive, radiates off May Boulevard, in the Alexandria area of Fairfax County, and ends in a cul-de-sac. And there’s a finished — and furnished — model house. Many back up to a green wall, wooded land owned by Fairfax County Park Authority. One of the smaller bedrooms in the model house has an en suite bathroom.
