Bailey's Crossroads

Built around the meeting of Leesburg Pike and Columbia Pike, Bailey's Crossroads grew into a densely developed commercial and residential center in Fairfax County. The community occupies rolling Piedmont ground within the Potomac River watershed, close to the urban core of Arlington and Washington, D.C. Its name preserves the Bailey family’s early tavern at this road junction, when turnpikes connected rural Virginia with the capital. Today, apartment buildings, shops and the Skyline Center high-rise complex give this unincorporated community a metropolitan character, while the crossroads remains its organizing feature.
