Familiar with Fairfax Station?

We're planning a move back to Fairfax County, and I think we've settled on Fairfax Station. Has anyone lived there, and/or do you know a realtor that specializes in that area?

Thanks!

 

Fairfax Station now encompasses a huge part of the county (new/recent developments all wanted that mailing address versus Burke, Springfield, Lorton, etc.). What part are you looking : West of 123? South of the FFX County Parkway?

 

Tobey Converse- he knows the area very very well. His number is 703-470-7094 , I listed the wrong # in the PM I sent you. Tell him I sent you!

 

I actually lived in Fairfax Station and I mean the actual Fairfax Station way before it got cut in half by the fairfax county parkway. I lived in Burke and in Crosspointe the whole area is wonderful and very children friendly. I also was building a house for myself that the basement is now buried under the fairfax county interchange with 123 along with several other basements homes we were building. That was another government snafu where the Fairfaix county gave us building permits, then one day while the homes were under construction a guy from VDOT drives by and says you can't build those homes here that is in the middle of our future interchange. We got paid extremely well to bury those basements forever and of course legally a little future fairfax history lesson for you all and I wonder what they will think when a hundred years from now they dig up that interchange and find those basements ha ha ha ha ha ha

Great place to live and for children to grow up in.
ANd not near the school problems we have out here, sorry I had to throw that in but it is true

If you work in Rosslyn or D.C. or points south, you will have an easier commute. If you work in the Ashburn to Reston tech corridor on 267, you will have a longer commute. If you work in Tyson's to Falls Church it will be about the same. I am very familar with that area if you get more specific.

 

We looked at Fairfax Station as well, before deciding on Broadlands. I work in Ballston (Arlington), and one of my colleagues moved to Crosspointe - she has a longer commute than I do! Takes me 45 minutes to get to work (leaving at around 6:45 am) - takes my colleague about 50 minutes! Perhaps she's not taking the most optimal route, but after doing a couple of practice runs myself when we were looking down there, I'm not convinced that its closer to Arlington than we are.

 

Thanks, all! (Sunny, I'll contact him! I so appreciate your PM!)

I work at the Fairfax County Government Center, and my husband works downtown (although he frequently works from home, travels, and has meetings throughout the DC metro area). Our goal is to be as close to 22035 as possible, with a wooded lot on .3 acres in a great neighborhood. The house itself is secondary.
