Burke Homes & Real Estate

Burke Real Estate Market

Burke, VA, is known for its quiet suburban feel and fabulous housing options. Affordable single-family homes, highly-desirable condominiums, and a nice selection of townhomes round out the Burke real estate landscape. If you're a homebuyer who likes to stay active or enjoys having plenty of recreational facilities nearby, outdoor or otherwise, there's no better place to begin your home search. The bulk of Burke's single-family home listings are generally priced in the $500,000 to $700,000 range, and some of Burke's larger homes are still priced under $1 million.

Once little more than a secluded rural community, Burke has grown over recent decades to become one of the most popular suburban areas in Northern Virginia. A number of planned communities make up a significant proportion of the Burke real estate market. 

Burke Community Amenities

A medium-sized city with a population of right around 40,000, Burke, Virginia is located directly between Fairfax Station to the west and West Springfield to the south. Named after 19th-century farmer, merchant, and local politician Silas Burke, this popular part of Fairfax County has a rich history, dating back to the early 1800s with the construction of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, as well as its Burke Station.

Identified by CNN Money as one of America's best small cities in which to live, the community benefits from close proximity to Washington DC, Alexandria and Fort Belvoir. Burke also enjoys a distinct character thanks, in part, to the many facilities provided by several nearby parks, such as the expansive Burke Lake Park. Owners of Burke, Virginia, homes and townhouses will also discover great shopping and dining throughout the area.

Burke Centre is what sets this area apart from other Northern Virginia suburbs. A 1,700-acre planned community, Burke Centre is certainly about much more than just residential real estate. Numerous community pools, shopping, dining, and even its own train station all help enhance the living experience. Even if you're looking outside of this thoughtfully-developed neighborhood, there's also the 888-acre Burke Lake Park for residents to enjoy, which features a 4.5-mile jogging trail, a 281-acre recreational lake, campsites, sports fields, a disc golf course, a mini-golf course, an amphitheater, and even an 18-hole par-3 golf course.

The Fairfax County Public School System serves the educational requirements of Burke, Virginia's, school students.
