Falls Church

Falls Church is a remarkably diverse area that offers something for every lifestyle, from the bustling heart of Falls Church City to quiet residential communities with unique amenities.

Falls Church City sits at the center of it all and truly lives up to its reputation as "The Little City" due to its tiny size of just 2.2 square miles. This independent municipality is separate from the surrounding Arlington and Fairfax Counties with its own nationally ranked school system. The city has undergone significant updates and development in recent years, creating a highly walkable downtown area. The downtown features a variety of bars, restaurants and local stores, including institutions like Brown's Hardware that dates back to the 1880s. The city is also home to Eden Center, a shopping and dining area filled with Vietnamese-American businesses, showcasing the area's rich cultural diversity.

Barcroft Lake Community offers something truly special - their own private lake exclusively for community residents. This established neighborhood features a wonderful mix of architectural styles and home sizes, from charming ranchers to larger family homes. The community's diversity is reflected both in its housing options and its residents, creating a welcoming atmosphere for families from many backgrounds.

East Falls Church is an attractive residential community conveniently located near the East Falls Church Metrorail station. This area offers quaint, tree-lined neighborhoods perfect for families and commuters who want easy Metro access.

West Falls Church and surrounding areas like Ellison Heights offer about 250 single-family homes—from Colonials to transitional new builds—and are easily walkable to an array of restaurants, coffee shops and grocery stores. These neighborhoods provide excellent family living with convenient access to Metro stations.

Other notable areas include Pimmit Hills, which offers mostly new construction homes that sit on large lots on quiet streets. These homes tend to be on the larger size, ranging from four to six bedrooms each, perfect for growing families.

What makes Falls Church special is this incredible variety - whether you want the urban village feel of Falls Church City, the unique amenity of lakefront living at Barcroft Lake, or the suburban charm of the surrounding residential communities, you'll find exceptional schools and convenient access throughout.
