Do You Live in NoVA’s Hottest Zip Code?

These areas are among the most desirable places to live in our region. Here’s why.

By Maggie Roth February 24, 2026 at 2:54 pm

The Burke 22015 zip code topped our list of the 20 Hottest Zip Codes in Northern Virginia. Nearby Fairfax Station, West Springfield, and Kings Park West are also among the most in-demand neighborhoods. Here’s what to know if you’re thinking of moving into the 22015, 22039, 22152, and 22032 zip codes.

22015, 22039, 22152, & 22032

Burke, Fairfax Station, West Springfield, & Kings Park West areas

For homeowners looking to get a little more space without sacrificing proximity to restaurants, shopping, and recreational opportunities, this portion of Fairfax County is in high demand. Entertainment isn’t steps away like it might be in Arlington or Alexandria, but these towns have plenty of coveted amenities — think Burke Lake Park and Lake Accotink, plus easy access to Fairfax Corner and Old Town Fairfax.

Burke, for example, has “no downtown area or ‘nightlife,’ but retail and family-owned restaurants are dotted throughout,” says Long & Foster’s Shelley Draheim.

Neighborhoods vary from one to the next, but overall, these zip codes have an affluent, suburban feel with many single-family homes on spacious lots. These established neighborhoods often have homeowners “who have lived in their home for decades, creating close-knit communities,” Draheim says.

“There’s still quite a sense of community because there’s just not as much turnover in these communities, and that lack of turnover is what keeps the prices continuing to go up. And even though it’s a little more modest, over the past year or so, of an increase, they do hold their value,” Draheim says.

Homes here tend to sell quickly — particularly ones in pristine condition — so Draheim advises buyers to be open to properties that may need some upgrading. “Consider the pros of the location, community amenities, and commute options if a home doesn’t sparkle as much as hoped for. You can always paint, but the location can’t be changed,” she says.

  • Commuters have easy access to I-495 and the Burke VRE for public transit.
  • Lake Braddock Secondary, Robinson Secondary, and West Springfield are among our Top 25 High Schools.
  • Residents in these neighborhoods are just a short drive from shopping centers and downtown areas like Springfield Town Center, Fairfax Corner, and Old Town Fairfax.

Methodology

This ranking uses data from December 1, 2024, to November 30, 2025, as reported by Bright MLS. To determine the Top 20, we considered zip codes that had a minimum of 120 sales over the given time frame. The list was weighted based on the percentage change between the median list price and median close price, as well as the median days on the market over the 12-month period.

*Population, education, median household income, and total number of households were not included as factors in the ranking.
