More About the Springfield, VA Real Estate Market

As for single-family homes for sale, you’ll find a wide range of possibilities, ranging from modest 1950s Ramblers to million-dollar custom homes. There was a big building boom during the 1970s and 1980s, during which a lot of four-bedroom Colonials and Split-levels were built. A more recent trend has been a movement toward new custom-Craftsman and Country Farmhouse styles.

The city’s expansion has been closely aligned with the building of the Springfield Mall in the 1970s. The structure was recently demolished and rebuilt as Springfield Town Center—an upscale shopping experience with food, entertainment, hotels and apartments. Decades in the planning, the town center vision includes an outdoor plaza, and pedestrian and bicycle routes that connect to the Franconia-Springfield Metro with its new Silver Line expansion, as well as the Virginia Railway Express station.

The community has come a long ways since its early inception as a tiny railroad town. Residents enjoy Middle Run Stream Valley Park and South Run Stream Valley Park, while grocery options include Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and Giant. Toss in plenty of local Starbucks, great restaurants and a high quality of life, and you can understand why homes for sale in Springfield have become so popular.
