Clifton

Clifton real estate offers old-fashioned, small-town charm in a suburban Washington, D.C. setting. The town, called the “Brigadoon of Virginia,”sits in the southwest corner of Fairfax County; nearby Chapel Road Park still has remnants of the town’s railroad past. The oldest building on Clifton real estate dates back to 1771 and many century-old Colonial and Victorian homes still line Main Street. Even Hollywood has found inspiration in this quaint suburb’s natural beauty: the movie “Sleepless in Seattle” was written here and scenes from the movie “Broadcast News” were filmed on Clifton real estate.

Clifton real estate owners enjoy a leisurely atmosphere in this designated National Historic District. Many outdoor enthusiasts appreciate the wide open spaces that characterize Clifton real estate. In 2003, the completion of the Clifton Heights development attracted new homeowners to the area and helped increase the value of Clifton real estate. And yet Clifton real estate remains some of the most affordable in the capital city area. Many companies have their headquarters in here, with several high-tech firms calling Clifton real estate home. Indeed, new residents to Northern Virginia regularly choose to buy (rather then rent) Clifton real estate, with its easy access to downtown D.C. This great location, combined with the town’s excellent Fairfax County public schools, makes Clifton real estate ideal for both families and commuters alike.
