[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, this house in Falls Church, not in Falls Church City, but in the county, sold a few days ago for under $400,000.  It's a very chill neighborhood near the Loehman's Plaza and the new Mosaic District.  Easy access to 50, 66, 495 and the orange line.

And this one is nearby and now on the market:

This one sold in December for a $444,000.  It is a flip, though, which I am not a fan of, but to each their own, for sure!  :)

The nearby Willow Point condos are nice, and they all have their own entrances to the outside, not hallways, but they are listed as condos.  The Chrisland Cove condos/townhouses are also nice.

I think these are in the West Lawn elementary school, which I see as being a five out of ten on that rating in the listing.  But I know a sub teacher who works all over the district and she really likes that particular school, fwiw.

Good luck!  Let us know what you found.   [/quote]

OP here. Many thanks for this! Question: I've been noticing that people are careful to distinguish between FC city and Falls Church. What's the difference?[/quote]
Falls Church City (FCC) is a small neighborhood in the 22046 zip code near West Falls Church Metro.  It is oddly formed into its own township and has its own, small but very highly rated school system (two elementaries, one middle, one high).  Housing stock is cute and expensive. There is a walkable part of it that's cute and has lots of neat stores, some restaurants, toy store, coffee shop etc. Real estate listings in that part of Virginia will start with FA.

Falls Church is spread around several zip codes - 22043 (the fabled Pimmit Hills), 22042 (somewhat less fabled neighborhoods) etc.  The latter zip code is less desirable because schools are less attractive.  On the plus side, it's close to the city and you get to FB straight down route 50.  Real estate listings in that part of Virginia will start with FX.

Falls Church is a lot cheaper *generally* than Falls Church City.[/quote]
