This charming 4 BD/4 BA Craftsman-style home is in your dream neighborhood — Falls Church Park in North Arlington. Nestled between the East Falls Church Metro, the W&OD Trail and the City of Falls Church, this is the urban village you’ve been looking for!

Step through to the living room with a wood-burning fireplace, separate dining room and updated kitchen.

Taking a look back, there were 706 homes listed for sale (up from last month), including 234 new listings in the past four weeks, according to Homesnap. There were 312 sales, and the median sales price was $725,000, also up from last month.


If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that flexibility and scalability are important. Office life has likely changed forever as employers have embraced the reality that employees can be just as productive in a flexed work location scenario as they are in a full-time, in-office arrangement.
