A family-friendly Fairfax County community with easy commuter access
Near Fort Belvoir and a Department of Defense agency, West Springfield offers a convenient location for military members, government employees and Washington, D.C., commuters. Aside from a bustling workforce, the community, home to around 23,000 residents, also attracts families. “I moved here in the 1980s so my kids could go to Fairfax County Public Schools,” says Celesta Fahey, a Realtor with Samson Properties who has over 20 years of experience selling homes in the area. She adds that lush green spaces, like Lake Accotink Park, and easy access to the Springfield Interchange kept her around. “We always planned to move back to D.C., but after the kids left, we decided not to leave. It’s really quiet, and we’ve got beautiful parks, but there’s also incredible highway access, and it takes about 30 minutes to get to D.C. if traffic is light.”

It’s also the third-largest government building in the D.C. metro area, taking up 2.3 million square feet and employing around 8,500 people. Fort Belvoir, 10 miles in the same direction, is home to several military organizations, like the Davison Army Airfield and the Aerospace Data Facility. Fahey says locals can occasionally hear aircraft noise from the base. “We only hear something a few times a week. It’s nowhere near as loud as living under a Dulles [International Airport] flight path.” The U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center is 7 miles east, and the Pentagon is 13 miles northeast.

The Springfield Interchange, where interstates 95, 395 and 495 meet, is about 4 miles east. A 16-mile drive north on I-395 leads to downtown D.C. Depending on traffic, the drive typically takes between 30 minutes and an hour.

Lake Accotink is a former military reservoir
West Springfield experiences all four seasons, with hot, humid summers and mild winters. Lake Accotink Park on West Springfield’s northern edge was once a reservoir for Fort Belvoir. Today, it’s a waterfront green space with kayak rentals, boat launches and multi-use trails. There’s also a 9-hole mini golf course and a carousel from the 1940s. “You can take your kids and spend a whole day there. The parking lot isn’t big enough for how many people visit during the summer,” Fahey says. On the western edge of town, a 3-mile-long forested hiking trail spans Pohick Creek Stream Valley Park. The park is also home to the Hidden Pond Nature Center, where Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops meet regularly. The Springfield Golf and Country Club has an 18-hole golf course, a tennis and pickleball complex and a swimming pool.
