Life in Falls Church, VA

Most of Northern Virginia is part of Fairfax or Arlington Counties, but there is a tiny bit of land that stands alone, and this is Falls Church, which is only 2.2 square miles in size. No wonder they call it “the Little City.” Built-in 1762, The Falls Church still stands today and holds regular services. This is where George Washington was once a vestryman and what the city is named for.

Falls Church is a small, very independent city known for being quaint and quirky, which is what gives it its charm. The area is filled with gorgeous homes and is known for being a safe family-friendly community with plenty of modern conveniences. Even though urban development seems to be occurring at a much slower pace here than in surrounding areas, Falls Church is definitely not lacking in entertainment and amenities for residents.
