Why People Love Franklin Farm

Franklin Farm community entrance sign with spring daffodils

I have helped buyers and sellers in Franklin Farm since 2003, and the same things come up every time. Neighbors know each other. Kids grow up walking the trails to friends' houses and the pool. The ponds, parks and big trees make it feel tucked away, even though you are minutes from the Toll Road, Reston and Dulles. When a home here comes on the market, it is often the first time in many years.

Gray barn-style community building with a white porch in Franklin Farm

Franklin Farm Park, a Fairfax County park inside the community, adds ball fields and more open space. Community events throughout the year help keep that small-town feel. Amenities and HOA dues can change, so confirm current details with the Franklin Farm Foundation before you buy.

A Little History

The name comes from a real farm. In 1936, airline pilot James Franklin bought 100 acres here with winnings from a $10,000 sweepstakes. The farm grew to 827 acres, one of the largest in the area, before it was sold for development in 1979. Franklin Farm the community was established in 1980, back when this part of Fairfax County was mostly soybean fields and dirt roads.

Schools

Franklin Farm is served by Fairfax County Public Schools. Because the community is large, homes are split among several schools depending on the street:

Elementary	Crossfield, Navy or Oak Hill
Middle	Rachel Carson or Franklin
High	Chantilly or Oakton now; Skyview or Oakton starting fall 2027

New boundaries start in fall 2027. Fairfax County is opening Skyview High School in the Floris area, and the part of Franklin Farm that now goes to Chantilly High will move to Skyview. Middle school lines for Carson and Franklin are changing too. If schools matter to your move, I can help you check a specific street.

School assignments depend on the exact address. Always confirm with the FCPS Boundary Locator and the FCPS boundary changes page. See all our neighborhoods on Schools by Neighborhood.

Getting Around

Homes have a Herndon mailing address (ZIP 20171), but Franklin Farm sits in unincorporated Fairfax County, outside the Town of Herndon. The Fairfax County Parkway runs right through the community, with quick access to the Dulles Toll Road, Route 28 and Route 50. Dulles Airport is just to the west, and the Silver Line Metro stations in Herndon and Reston are a short drive away. Fairfax Connector buses also serve the area.
