Tysons Corner, VA Homes For Sale

One of the fastest-growing cities in Washington Metro is Tysons Corner, Virginia. This small city was described as a “boomer” by Washington Post journalist Joel Garreau in his notable book “Edge City: Life on the New Frontier.” As Garreau noted, this “live, work and play” community has centered around retail—those who work and play here outnumber the residents—currently around 20,000. That is changing however, as with an ambitious plan that will ultimately grow the population to 100,000. That mean a lot of new homes for sale!

Once known as Peach Grove, the community got its name when William Tyson bought a large parcel of land after the Civil War and opened a post office. Still, the little town remained rural until 1962 when Fairfax County awarded lucrative commercial contracts at the intersection of Route 7 and Route 123. The Tysons Corner Shopping Center was born—the largest of its kind in all of Virginia.

New retail destinations have opened over time as well, including Fairfax Square and Tysons Galleria. More construction is springing up all the time, including Scotts Run South which will include nine office towers, seven residential buildings and a hotel. Another new high-profile project is Arbor Row—a mixed use development with eight buildings.
