Area Information

Welcome to Northern Virginia, the area where we sell real estate. Fairfax County is one of the wealthier counties in America and it’s home to McLean and Great Falls.

McLean is only a fifteen minute commute to Washington, D.C. on the scenic George Washington Parkway, which is adjacent to the Potomac River. Offering sophisticated living at its best, McLean has gourmet restaurants and grocery stores, and super bookstores. McLean is adjacent to Tysons and Tysons Galleria, the area’s premier shopping centers. Here you will find Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and many more stores to fill every need. We also have a Ritz Carlton, Hilton and Sheraton at Tyson’s Corner. The schools are superb, the community is thriving and the culture is diverse. That’s McLean!

 

Just north of McLean is Great Falls, close-in horse country. Many of the homes are on two to five acres, horse trails are abundant and the living is easy. The Great Falls Village, “the shopping area” offers a glimpse of a bygone era. You’ll soon recognize a lot of the neighbors in the grocery store. Great Falls is also home of River Bend Golf and Country Club, one of the area’s premier golf courses. It’s also the location of Great Falls National Park, one of the crown jewels in our National Park System.
