Named for an 18th century Church of England parish, Falls Church is a unique blend of history and convenience. The small city is very much a small town, with local businesses and high-rise condos lining the two shopping corridors (Broad Street and Washington Street). Numerous historical homes and sites are sprinkled through the town, and residents enjoy the quiet, tree-lined streets and close proximity to DC, Arlington, and Tysons Corner.

Those who prefer the privacy of grand homes and secluded estates often choose to call Great Falls and McLean home. Both towns border the Potomac River and are known for their mature trees, horse stables, gated driveways, and winding roads. With easy access to Washington, DC, everyone from diplomats to members of Congress to business leaders live here.

The Town of Vienna in Fairfax County is in the middle of thriving Northern Virginia and is located 15 miles from the nation’s capital, Washington, DC.

The undeniable charm of Old Town, as the locals call it, is evident as soon as you arrive. Tidy and historic row houses, carriage houses, and Colonial homes line the streets. In the center of town, you’ll find both tourists and residents shopping and dining at the many local establishments along King Street - or relaxing in the parks along the Potomac River waterfront.

Just west of Fairfax County and Dulles International Airport is Ashburn, a large development in Loudoun County.
