Springfield, VA Is "Commuting Central" For Northern Virginia

There are three primary concerns for people who relocate to the National Capital Area and decide to locate in Northern Virginia. 

• The first concern is the availability and cost of housing. 
• For those with children school quality is the second area of interest.  It should also be an area of interest for people without children since school quality has an impact on resale value.
• Commuting is the third area that is considered by a relocatee

Springfield is Commuting Central for many North Virginia residents especially if you live east of Burke in Fairfax County and south of the Mount Vernon area of Fairfax County and into eastern Prince William County.

Both METRORAIL, VIRGINIA RAILWAY EXPRESS and PRTC METRO DIRECT BUSES converge at the Franconia-Springfield Metrorail station

PRTC METRO DIRECT is a unique service with buses that operate both north and south between Prince William County and the Franconia-Springfield Metrorail station facilitating commuting for those people who need more than bus service to the Pentagon or rail and bus service to Washington, D.C.

Carpools, vanpools and individual drivers rely on the Springfield Interchange - where Interstate 95, 395 and 495 converge - for routing them north, south, east and west. 

It is not at all uncommon for friends, associates or Realtors® to tell you it takes "x minutes" to commute from here to there,  Beware the validity of the information unless it includes "approximately", because time frames can change here with what would be a minor distraction in other parts of the country.
