The Tanglewood subdivision is located in Fairfax County Virginia, just outside the Town of Vienna. TCA comprises neighborhoods adjacent to Tanglewood Park on Abbotsford Drive, Bruton Place, Carmichael Drive, Corsica Street, Madrigal Way, Minuet Court, Rhapsody Drive, Riviera Drive, and Tanglevale Street.

Thanks to former resident Allen Jensen, below are PDF versions of the original survey plats of the Tanglewood subdivision from Fairfax County Site Records, including easements and rights of way.
Tanglewood Community Association was formed in 1976.
The builder was Woodlawn Enterprises, with the principal owner/developer Clyde Anderson, and with financial backing from Milton Petersen. The field superintendent was Bob Batal (who later established his own enterprise, Batal Builders). Mr. Anderson’s daughter lived in one of the models, although I do not know when she purchased it. She sold it in 2010.
The models were listed for sale at $43,500 for the split, $44,500 for the four bedroom colonial and $45,500-46,500 for the five bedroom models. There was also a premium charged for any lot that backed up to the park. (I think $1,500.) There were extra charges for garage over carport and double garage as well as double carport.
Woodlawn Enterprises controlled the HOA until all the houses were sold. The dues were $10 a year.
On June 1, 1976 with the completion of the project, Woodlawn turned over the HOA to the homeowners. They gave the Association a starter check of $265. Tom Walsh became the first president of TCA. (His wife Margo still lives at 2331 Riviera.) The dues remained at $10 per annum.
In 1985 the dues were increased to a whopping $15.
In 1990 the dues were increased to $20.
In 1994 the dues were increased to $24.
In 1995 the dues were increased to $40, where they remained until 2002 when they were doubled to $80 per year.
Margaret Brough of 2300 Tanglevale is the current longest continuing member, she bought in Dec. 1970.
