Heading toward Arlington from the west, East Falls Church is the gateway to Langston Boulevard. Welcomed by a pedestrian walkway that highlights the area's diversity of transportation, East Falls Church sits at the crossroads of major transportation arteries. Bordering Falls Church City and its lively scenes, East Falls Church stands as a dynamic entryway to Arlington's Langston Boulevard. Already boasting many retail, dining, housing, and multimodal transport options, this hub is brimming with potential.
Connectivity
As the Boulevard’s gateway, East Falls Church connects residents and visitors with every type of transportation available to destinations near and far. The Metro’s Orange and Silver Lines are steps away, connecting riders with our nation’s capital and international airports. The vital I-66 passes through the hub, as do several bus lines. Meanwhile, pedestrians and bicyclists frequent a network of well-maintained trails—including the new Washington & Old Dominion Trail bridge over the Boulevard, which connects nearby to the Four Mile Run Trail and the Custis Trail.
Green Spaces
Not far from the Boulevard is Benjamin Banneker Park—12.5 acres of leafy trees, open green spaces, and two newly renovated playgrounds with dazzling equipment for all ages. Four Mile Run cuts through the park, providing an idyllic feature and calming sound. Not to be missed is one of a handful of remaining boundary stones, marking the nineteenth-century border between Virginia and then-Alexandria County in the District of Columbia—back when Arlington was a part of the federal district.

Dining and Retail
International options from Japan, France, and the Mediterranean make East Falls Church a destination for fine-dining lovers. Just feet away is a local health food chain, providing an array of bowls, smoothies, and delicious guilt-free treats. Don’t sleep on nearby retail options as well, including the only independent bookstore on the Boulevard. An independent book store is a cozy staple of the area's business offerings that offers not just books and gifts but regular events and book clubs—an inviting community, in other words.
