Fairfax Station is a unique area of Fairfax County. Located about 8 miles south of the city of Fairfax along route 123 Fairfax Station presents a country setting near an urban environment. Much of Fairfax Station is part of the Occoquan River water shed and as such most of the homes sites are limited to a minimum of five acres. Because many homes have lots of this size or larger there is a certain country feel to the entire area. There are many paddocks loacated in the area and many parks along the Occoquan river are located just minutes from Fairfax Station.

The area is served by the Virginia Railway Express, which makes the commute into Washington, DC easy and convenient and the Fairfax County parkway gives easy access to major shopping areas and the Dulles Tech corridor.

Homes in the Fairfax Station area range from approximately $800,000 to large estates worth several million dollars.
