| Falls Church City Schools - 12/4/2011
The (small) size and high quality of the Falls Church City public school system makes it ideal for families who juggle overseas assignments with stateside living in the Washington, DC area. Your children will be able to sustain friendships despite their occasional absences for several years at a time, and will not get lost in the kind of large public school system found in most of the DC suburbs. In addition, the challenging curriculum and high caliber of teaching found in the Falls Church City public schools are comparable to a quality private school education.[read more...]

| Stay home if you like clean air--you won't find an - 8/26/2010
I've lived in 3 different states and 30 different locations, and this by FAR the WORST air I've ever had to deal with!!! It's such a beautiful town, but don't be fooled--this little smog hole/pollen hole is only tolerable during winter months. [read more...]

| Expensive - 6/2/2008
The area surrounding Falls Church, like most in the greater DC MSA is very diverse. There is a city of Falls Church and a greater "Falls Church" area that are very different with respects to everything, but especially the cost of housing. The city has some of the best schools in Virginia and the price of housing is reflected accordingly. In the outlying areas the schools are not nearly as good and the same house is far less expensive. If interested in this area it is a good idea to look at individual school districts before making a decision, finding an area with good schools are especially important but just keep in mind you are going to pay for it.[read more...]

| Falls Church, VA - 9/7/2005
Pretty crowded and expensive, but if you dont mind long commutes, and a lot of money for not a lot of house, then its not bad. There are lots of things to do, and DC is only a short trip on the Orange Line of the Metro away. School are excellent, and diverse. Overall, its really a great place to be, just minutes from everything you can immagine. And there is no relation to the western parts of Virginia, for all of you who think Virginia is for southerners. We are just as much a part of the north as New York![read more...]
