Welcome to Falls Church, VA

Falls Church is an established, older community situated just west of Washington, D.C. The Falls Church, the city's namesake, was founded in 1734 and once included George Mason and George Washington in its congregation.

Although it is conveniently located near two major interstates and two Metro stations, Falls Church prides itself on its small-town atmosphere and strong sense of community. Residents enjoy spending ample time outdoors. The city has eleven parks, even though it covers just over two square miles. Locals also enjoy participating in activities at the historic Cherry Hill Farmhouse.

Located only six miles from Washington, Falls Church is a wonderful place to buy real estate or a home for sale. This historic urban village has seen its property values rise much faster than the national average in recent years.

Excellent Fairfax County public schools and rising property values attract new residents every year. Falls Church also has a crime index much lower than the national average. Many Falls Church homes are just minutes from the Metro, a major plus for home values. Some people can even walk or ride bikes to the Metro in Falls Church.
