Houses of worship
Less than 10,000 people live in this Fairfax County community, where the houses have Falls Church addresses. It’s a “community within a community” type of place, where the smaller communities center around religious institutions. St. Katherine Greek Orthodox Church has been around for 50 years, and Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center hosts youth gatherings, parenting programs and a thrift store. Falls Church is a close-knit community where locals gather for the Falls Church Festival, an annual convergence of restaurants, crafters, businesses and civic organizations.

In the summertime, families converge at the Ocean Dunes Waterpark. Kids swim in the pool, slide down the slides and play in the splash pads. The park has a kitschy mini golf course with decorations like lighthouses and pelicans. Ocean Dunes connects to Upton Hill Regional Park, which has batting cages and several walking trails. Nearby Bluemont Park spans 50 acres and includes athletic fields, tennis, volleyball and basketball courts, a disc golf course and the Four Mile Run Trail, which runs parallel to a stream.

Taking the Metro and commuting to D.C.
Seven Corners is known around NOVA for its chaotic intersection, where Arlington Boulevard converges with Leesburg Pike, Hillwood Avenue, Sleepy Hollow Road and Wilson Boulevard. It’s a lot, but RE/MAX Allegiance Realtor Claudia Webb says none of her buyers were scared off by the intersection. It’s easy to get used to the intersection over time or figure out ways to avoid it altogether, she says. Driving to downtown Arlington from Seven Corners takes about 15 minutes, driving to D.C. can take about half an hour and riding the Metro into the city takes about 40 minutes. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is about 15 minutes away.
