Fairfax County Schools
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is one of the largest and most highly rated public school systems in the country, serving over 180,000 students across nearly 200 schools. Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology — available by competitive admission to students across the county — is consistently ranked among the top public high schools in the United States.
Other top-rated FCPS high schools include Langley, McLean, Oakton, Madison, Robinson, Woodson, and South Lakes. Each pyramid feeds different elementary and middle schools, and school assignment is one of the biggest factors driving home prices and buyer demand across the county. When you reach out, we’ll send the school assignment for any specific address you’re considering.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fairfax County Real Estate
Which Fairfax County towns have the best schools?
All of Fairfax County is served by Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS), but the Langley, McLean, Oakton, and Madison pyramids consistently rank highest in the county. Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology — accessible to students from across Fairfax County by competitive admission — is regularly ranked the #1 public high school in the United States. School assignment is one of the strongest drivers of home prices in the county.
Which Fairfax County neighborhoods are best for federal employees commuting to DC?
For Metro commuters, Vienna (Orange Line), Dunn Loring, and Reston Town Center (Silver Line) offer one-seat rides into the city. Franconia-Springfield (Yellow/Blue) is the southern entry point. VRE riders gravitate to Burke Centre. For drivers, McLean and Falls Church-adjacent neighborhoods of Fairfax County offer fast Beltway and GW Parkway access to downtown DC, the Pentagon, and federal facilities along Route 7.
Is Fairfax County a good place to invest in real estate?
Fairfax County’s combination of strong school demand, stable federal and contractor employment, and the Silver Line / Dulles Tech Corridor expansion has supported a long-term upward trend in property values. The Bailey Team works with residential investors, 1031 exchange buyers, commercial real estate investors, and assisted living facility operators across Fairfax County and the broader DMV. Contact us to discuss your specific investment thesis.
What’s the difference between Fairfax County and Fairfax City?
Fairfax City is an independent city of about 24,000 residents that sits within (but is politically separate from) Fairfax County. The two have different local governments, separate school systems (Fairfax City Public Schools vs. Fairfax County Public Schools), and different tax rates. Most search traffic for “Fairfax VA” is about the county — a dedicated Fairfax City page is on the way.
How does Fairfax County compare to Loudoun, Prince William, and Arlington?
Fairfax County is the largest jurisdiction in Northern Virginia by population and one of the most established. Loudoun (to the west) has more new construction, wine country, and the Silver Line extension. Prince William (to the south) generally offers more accessible price points and growing master-planned communities. Arlington (to the east, separating Fairfax County from DC) is denser and more urban with a stronger condo and townhome market. We work across all four — happy to compare specific neighborhoods if you’re weighing options.
Do you handle commercial real estate and assisted living facilities in Fairfax County?
Yes. The Bailey Team handles commercial real estate (office, retail, flex/industrial, investment sales), business brokerage, and assisted living facility transactions across Fairfax County and the broader DMV. We’re the official My ALF Consultant representative for VA, DC, MD, and WV. Visit our Commercial page and Assisted Living Facilities page for more, or call (571) 240-4495.
