Notorious for its chaotic traffic circle, Seven Corners is known as a cheaper alternative to other northern Virginia communities like Arlington and Alexandria. This community of condos, townhouses and single-family homes sits at the crossroads of several major highways, making for easy commuter access, even if traffic can be bad.
Seven Corners is small, spanning less than three-fourths of a square mile. Everything is close to everything else here, so neighbors only have to drive 5 minutes to get to the community's retail stores and restaurants. Big box stores sit on either side of Arlington Boulevard, including the Home Depot, Ross Dress for Less, Target and BJ’s. Locals can shop for groceries at Safeway or Giant Food and pick up Asian kitchen essentials at Good Fortune Supermarket. Good Fortune is in the Eden Center shopping mall, which features Vietnamese restaurants like Mi Lacay Eden, a boba tea café and Crabby Noodles Pho & Seafood. Locals can work out at the nearby Planet Fitness, get their outdoor gear at Sun & Ski Sports and grab a quick meal at chains like Dunkin and Five Guys.
Seven Corners offers its residents a variety of housing options, from rental apartments to condos to single-family homes on suburban streets. On its grassy residential roads, renovated 1950s colonials, new craftsman-style houses and mid-20th-century ramblers sit next to each other on enclosed, quiet streets with front lawns and about a quarter acre of land. Condos and townhouses sit within subdivisions with associations for things like outdoor maintenance. Home prices range from $200,000 for a condo unit built in 1950 to nearly $2 million for a brand-new craftsman house.
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.
Kids in Seven Corners can attend Fairfax County Public Schools, a district with about 180,000 students and an A rating from Niche. Schools include Glen Forest Elementary School, Glasgow Middle School and Justice High School. Glen Forest and Justice have B-minus ratings from Niche and Glasgow is rated B. The high school has an international baccalaureate program for high achieving students.
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.
