Old Courthouse
Suburban Neighborhood in Tysons, Virginia
Fairfax County 22182
High-end homes from the 1970s through the 2000s
Old Courthouse was developed after the mall at Tysons Corner opened its doors in 1968. Homes in the neighborhood date back to the ‘70s and ‘80s, but new-millennium builds are also available here. “It is one of the most expensive areas [in northern Virginia] as far as home pricing, just after North Arlington and Mclean,” says Dajani. Home values range from $750,000 to north of $2 million for a market of brick townhouses, Craftsmans, center-hall colonials and split-level homes. Townhouses usually run around the 800,000s and come with three bedrooms, while single-family homes are generally more than 2,000 square feet and at the higher end of the price range, often with large yards and five or more bedrooms. Many residents of Old Courthouse are original owners and have lived in the neighborhood for 20 years. “I have helped clients trade up and then back down in size so they could stay in the area,” says John McNamara, a D.C. area local for over 25 years and real estate agent with TTR Sotheby's International.Tysons Woods Park leads to the W&OD Trail
Residents can walk their dogs or take a brisk nature walk at Briarcliff Park, along George Washington Boulevard. The park mainly features a connector trail from neighborhood streets through a dense but small forested area, also a common place to spot deer or red foxes. Wildwood Park is a few blocks west of Briarcliff, with paved walking paths that go over a creek. Kids can play on the playground at Tyson Woods Park in the south end of the neighborhood, with paths that lead to the Washington & Old Dominion Trail, a major pedestrian walkway that cuts 45 miles through northern Virginia.Nearby Fairfax County public schools
The Old Courthouse area is under the jurisdiction of Fairfax County Public Schools. Students can attend Freedom Hill Elementary, which is rated a B-plus overall by Niche. There’s also Kilmer Middle School, which has an A-rating, and George C. Marshall High, rated an A-minus. Freedom Hill is within the neighborhood, so kids can have a simple walking commute. Marshall High offers the International Baccalaureate diploma program and a STEM academy where students can take specialized courses and work toward various certifications and licenses.D.C. is 14 miles from home on I-66
Old Courthouse residents are car-dependent when accessing shopping areas like Mosaic or Tysons. “It’s also a transportation hub, people here can jump onto 495 and I-66 that lead to D.C.,” Dajani notes. Locals are less than 15 miles from the nation’s capital. Folks can take Interstate 66 to hit downtown D.C. in around 30 minutes or the Capitol Beltway, also called I-495, to reach points of interest in Montgomery County, Maryland. Commuters can also reach the Greensboro and Tysons metro stations in less than 2 miles for Silver Line access through D.C., Maryland and Virginia, or the DMV for short.Tysons Corner is down the street, and Mosaic is 3 miles south
Residents can stop by Tysons Bagel Market, which serves coffee and fresh bagels with cream cheese for breakfast and Korean bulgogi beef for lunch. Tysons Corner Center Mall is the largest shopping center in the D.C. – Baltimore area and is less than a mile north of Old Courthouse. Tysons features over 300 retailers, including Macy’s and Nordstrom. Just across Leesburg Pike is Lei’d Hawaiian Poke, a fast-casual spot serving rice bowls with veggies, seaweed and raw fish. Folks from Old Courthouse often take the 3-mile drive south to the Mosaic District, anchored by a Target and a MOM’s Organic Market for groceries. The Mosaic District also has dining options like Sisters Thai and chains like Nando’s Peri Peri, Pupatella and Bartaco.
