Fairfax Station, VA Homes For Sale

Known for large expensive homes in a peaceful woodsy setting, Fairfax Station is a historic community of about 12,000 residents, just south of Fairfax City, Virginia. The name comes from the Orange & Alexandria line train depot, built in 1854 and later used to transport wounded Civil War soldiers from both sides of the conflict. Red Cross founder Clara Barton and her assistants would tend the wounded at the station itself. All these years later, it is still standing and serves as a local museum. 

These days, the community is one of the more affluent in Fairfax County, with a real estate inventory comprised exclusively of single-family homes for sale. Prices start around $500,000 for large, late 1950s-era Ramblers and climb quickly from there. And although the town still has some antique houses, the majority of the well-stocked inventory are more recently built custom homes. You’ll find a lot of seven-figure listings, mostly in a variety of Colonial styles, although there are also Tudors, New Victorian and even some interesting Contemporary designs, often tucked into the trees on large lots.
