Centreville is the most populous community in Fairfax County, home to about 73,500 people in the 20120 and 20121 ZIP codes. It has deep roots, going back to a town established in 1792, and today it offers a huge range of homes, from first-time condos and townhomes to large single-family homes, all with easy access to I-66, Route 29 and Route 28. Like Chantilly, Centreville is not a town of its own. It is part of unincorporated Fairfax County, so homeowners pay Fairfax County taxes and children attend Fairfax County Public Schools.
Value and variety are the big draws. Buyers can find a townhome, a starter single-family home or a large home on a big lot, often for less than closer-in areas. Many neighborhoods have their own pools, tennis courts and trails, everyday shopping is close by, and parks like Bull Run Regional Park and Ellanor C. Lawrence Park are right next door. Commuters like having I-66 and Route 28 nearby, with quick routes to Fair Oaks, Chantilly, Dulles and DC.
Centreville homes range from 1960s and 1970s townhome communities to single-family neighborhoods built in the 1980s and 1990s, plus newer and custom-built homes on larger lots.
