Wonderful place to live! Perfect balance of nearby places to go out (including Old Town Fairfax and Mosaic District) and a suburban lifestyle with many trails and forests. Schools are recognized as among the best in the US and have many extracurriculars. VRE/Amtrak has two stations on either side of Burke for an easy train commute to Alexandria, Crystal City and DC for those who prefer not to drive to work. Homes here sell fast!
Burke has amazing schools. People are very nice everything is within 25 minutes of a car drive at the most. Neighborhoods are very safe. There are great parks around to enjoy yourself at. Burke is full of green vibrant trees. Burke is more on the expensive side of Virginia for homes. Burke is very safe. The diversity in Burke is amazing! You can find people of different ethnicity anywhere!
Burke is a fantastic area to raise a family. The schools from elementary through high school are all great. There is little to no traffic in Burke, great places to eat like the “mom and pop” Chesapeake Bagel Bakery, and its a community where you feel safe letting your kids play outside. Countless times we leave our bikes, scooters and other toys outside at night and they will always be there in the morning. Crime is very low in this area. The only down-fall, to me, is how much it costs to live in Burke.
