The lovely town of Burke is located immediately west of Springfield in historic Fairfax County. Established through a grant provided by the King of England prior to the Revolutionary War, Burke was a small, quiet farming community of many years. It was not until the early 1960s that builders began to construct contemporary housing there. The once-rural area has since evolved into a modern bedroom community of some 58,000 residents. Lovely homes sit on wooded lots. Residents enjoy the quiet serenity of their unique community’s parks and open spaces, which contain numerous trails designed to walk, bike and hike. While locals take pride in preserving and maintaining Burke’s small-town charm, they also enjoy all of the amenities provided by the major metropolitan areas nearby. The city’s central location allows easy access to many destinations via I-95, the major north-south route running from Boston to Florida. In addition, nearby I-495 - the Capital Beltway - offers access to the entire Washington D.C. area. Both of these interstates, as well as I-66, provide local travelers with primary road access to and throughout Fairfax County. Frequent travelers will appreciate their proximity to Washington Dulles International Airport, the second largest transatlantic gateway and the third largest East Coast gateway to the Pacific Rim. The airport is located in the northwestern part of the county. Boasting a rich history and a beautiful location within proximity to outstanding amenities, Burke offers something everyone can enjoy.
