Falls Church Reviews
Rating 4.35 out of 5 152 reviews
I will admit, Falls Church is a nice place to live in. All the stores you need are right down the road, many safe places, and we are neighbors to cities that have many businesses within them. However, I will say that at certain times and places, Falls Church can be a dangerous area. There are many roads that have crosswalks but not light for cars. Many accidents happen in the area as well. Not to mention that the lighting is terrible. If you walk at night, you are going to want to walk with a light vest on or with another person.
I arrived in the City of Falls Church forty years ago when cornfields and horse farms led into the City. My husband’s family has had a business here for almost fifty years.
We have the best award winning public school system in the Universe and a community of caring intellectuals! It’s a very historic and
political town with a strong sense of compassion and kindness.
Most people confuse our independent City of Falls Church- two safe square miles- with Falls Church Fairfax County, so very different! That’s what makes us a special and unique place to live.
Roots and relationships, wonderful and whimsical, brilliant and beautiful! If you want to be anonymous, don’t move here!

I grew up in Falls Church Virginia and I have nothing but pleasant things to say. My grandmother lived in Falls Church and my mother being a single mother, moved us all to my grandma's house and we were raised very well. We got to go to Tyson's Corner Mall and there was a corner store up the street from our neighborhood where we got to spend time with out elders and even get some candy out of the store.
