Located just six miles from the nation’s capital and inside the beltway, the City of Falls Church, known as “The Little City,” is a prime spot for homebuyers who want a small-town vibe with a nationally ranked school system and a suburban lifestyle. The surrounding areas (including unincorporated parts of Falls Church that fall within the jurisdiction of Fairfax County) are also prized for their top-notch schools and easy access to Washington, D.C. and other major employment and shopping districts. The following rankings, based on 2025 home sales, were drawn from Arlington Magazine’s most recent real estate guide listing average sale prices and other real estate metrics in more than 350 area neighborhoods.
