Falls Church

Welcome to Falls Church, VA

Where mature red maples and white pines form a natural canopy over peaceful streets, Falls Church has a homespun charm few buyers can resist. Wondering what the appeal is all about? Here, a mix of historic homes and modern condos creates a diverse real estate foundation in a village setting. A self-operating government and school district reinforces the community’s small-town feel. And last but not least? Much of the original historic character on which the town was founded remains still today. Located about six miles from Washington, DC, this independent city occupies the northernmost portion of the Commonwealth of Virginia, but its pedestrian-friendly Downtown area and undeniable magnetism are what make it one of the most coveted places to live in NoVA today.
