Welcome to
Burke, VA
Family-focused Fairfax living, lakes and trails included.
Burke represents the classic Fairfax County family sweet spot: strong Robinson and Lake Braddock school pyramids, safe residential streets, and access to 888-acre Burke Lake Park with its 4.5-mile perimeter trail. Home stock is dominated by 1970s and 1980s colonials and split-levels, many on generous lots. VRE commuter rail from Burke Centre and Rolling Road stations gets you to DC without the Beltway drive.
