The Neighborhood
Why Live in Fairlington
Fairlington wasn’t just built near Northern Virginia’s military hubs—it was built for them. Constructed between 1942 and 1944 to house military officers and defense leaders staffing the newly built Pentagon, Fairlington stands as World War II’s largest defense housing project. Today, Fairlington offers military members solid brick townhome-style residences, lush green courtyards, and an effortless commute to major bases across Arlington and Alexandria.
Military Commute
Fairlington is close to I-395 and the Mark Center, with access to JBM-HH and the Pentagon. For trips farther south to Fort Belvoir, compare routes based on your destination and reporting time.
