If we’re talking about some of the strongest housing markets in the state of Virginia, Fairfax County will always be high on that list. For context, the county ranked among the most in-demand housing markets in the DC area last year, even rivaling Arlington. Fairfax recorded more than twice the number of closed sales, saw homes selling in less than two weeks in December, and generally offers more affordable options.
Despite the high prices, why is this the case?
Close to Washington, D.C.
Just about 20 miles from the heart of the nation’s capital, Fairfax County offers excellent connectivity via multiple Metro lines and major highways like I-66, I-495, I-95, Route 1, and the Fairfax County Parkway. It’s a highly convenient place to live for those working in D.C.
Thriving Job Market Across Sectors
Fairfax County stands out for its strong employment landscape. While it’s a hub for government workers and contractors, it also supports a growing number of tech firms, startups, and private companies. Tysons Corner alone boasts 28 million square feet of office space, making it Virginia’s largest business district and home to major players like Capital One, Booz Allen Hamilton, Northrop Grumman, and General Dynamics.
Top-Tier Public Education
Many families are drawn to Fairfax County specifically for its exceptional public schools. The district consistently ranks among the nation’s best, with standout institutions like Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. High-performing schools such as Langley, McLean, Madison, and Oakton also attract attention from families across the region.
A Balanced, Enriching Lifestyle
Beyond work and school, Fairfax County offers a rich quality of life. The area is filled with green spaces — over 420 parks covering more than 23,000 acres — including well-known spots like Burke Lake Park, Great Falls Park, and Occoquan Regional Park.
When it comes to shopping, Tysons Corner Center alone offers over 2 million square feet of retail space, hundreds of stores, and a full entertainment experience. The local dining scene is just as diverse as the community, with standout areas like Annandale and Centreville for Korean cuisine, Eden Center in Falls Church for Vietnamese fare, and a wide range of other eateries — from cozy family-owned spots to high-end restaurants.
Why Fairfax Continues to Attract
With its strong job market, top-rated schools, and exceptional quality of life, Fairfax County remains a magnet for both professionals and families — especially those seeking not just career opportunities, but long-term stability and a high standard of living in Northern Virginia.
Looking ahead to 2025, home sales in the county are expected to rise despite increasing prices. Projections show a 1.5% increase in single-family home prices, a 3.9% jump for townhomes, and a 3.5% uptick for condominiums — a clear sign that demand isn’t slowing down.
To keep up with this demand, new residential projects continue to emerge. While large-scale developments like those in Loudoun County are unlikely due to limited space, Fairfax is seeing growth in mixed-use areas. These new communities offer a more convenient way of living, with work, daily necessities, and leisure all within easy reach.
So, let’s take a closer look at your new construction options here in Fairfax County.
Alexandria
Alexandria gives you the best of both worlds—historic charm mixed with modern-day livability. While Old Town’s cobblestone streets and 18th-century row houses get most of the attention, the real appeal for homebuyers often lies in the surrounding neighborhoods. Much of what’s considered “Alexandria” is actually in Fairfax County, where you’ll find quieter, suburban communities that still give you quick access to everything the city and D.C. have to offer.
If you’re commuting into the capital, Alexandria is hard to beat. Metro stations, major highways, and well-connected commuter routes make getting around surprisingly easy. The neighborhoods here are diverse—some established and filled with character, others newer and more planned out. What they all have in common is a strong sense of community and a lifestyle that balances convenience, comfort, and connection.
Looking for new construction? You’ll find it mostly in the western parts of Alexandria, like Kingstowne and Franconia. These areas offer thoughtfully designed homes with open-concept floor plans, community green spaces, and walkable layouts. It’s ideal if you want something move-in ready, low-maintenance, and close to shopping, dining, and transit.

Whether you’re commuting to Tysons, Clarendon, or even downtown D.C., you’ll find that getting around from Annandale is quick and convenient.
Despite being inside the Beltway, the area still feels suburban, with established neighborhoods, mature trees, and a quieter atmosphere compared to its more urban neighbors.
What makes Annandale stand out is the value it offers. Compared to nearby towns like Vienna or McLean, homes here are significantly more affordable—without sacrificing space or location. Many properties come with generously sized lots, and you’ll still find that “classic Northern Virginia” feel, but at a more accessible price point. It’s a smart option if you want proximity to major job hubs without paying a premium.
