East Falls Church is Arlington’s western corner, a mostly residential area of about 550 acres around East Falls Church Metrorail station, on the line with the independent city of Falls Church. The County Board adopted the East Falls Church Area Plan on April 16, 2011, to guide transit-oriented development near the station in a way that retains the neighborhood’s residential character. The area is also part of the wider Langston Boulevard study area, whose plan keeps East Falls Church as its own district.

Where it is

This guide uses the boundary of the Arlington-East Falls Church civic association on the county’s map, since the county has no planning-area polygon for East Falls Church. North Sycamore Street and North Roosevelt Street form parts of its edges, and I-66, Washington Boulevard, Williamsburg Boulevard, Langston Boulevard, North Westmoreland Street and Fairfax Drive run through it. Its western side borders the city of Falls Church, a separate jurisdiction with its own taxes and schools; see our comparison of Arlington, Falls Church, Alexandria and Washington.
