Springfield

Springfield was founded in 1847 around the Orange and Alexandria Railroad's Daingerfield Station; this is today the Backlick Road Virginia Railway Express station, located off Backlick Road. Today, Springfield offers a harmonious blend of suburban living, community engagement, and access to nearby urban amenities.

Springfield is perfect for commuters, with major highways like I-95 and I-495 (Capital Beltway) running through the area. The Franconia-Springfield Metro station provides easy access to the Washington, D.C. metro area, making getting to the city a breeze. The nearby Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport offers convenient air travel options for both domestic and international destinations.

For everyday conveniences, residents have access to a variety of shopping centers and malls, such as Springfield Town Center and Springfield Plaza. These establishments offer a wide range of retail stores, restaurants, and entertainment options to fit the needs of any household.

Springfield's outdoor recreation activities make this community shine! The most notable Springfield Park, Lake Accotink Park is a 476-acre park featuring a 55-acre lake, bike, canoe, and pedal boat rentals, fishing, a nine-hole miniature golf course, an antique carousel, snack bar, picnic areas with grills, a playground, sand volleyball court, and a basketball court. Additionally, the park has a four-mile loop natural-surface hiking/biking trail! 

Northern Virginia is known for great schools. All of the public schools in Springfield are operated by Fairfax County Public Schools. You can explore the zoned schools for each home you are considering using their helpful boundary finder tool. I recommend carefully researching area schools before making a home purchase since where you live will have a big impact on the type of education your children will receive. If you live in Springfield, here is a list of the schools that your children could be districted to:
