Fair Lakes

Among Virginia’s suburban communities, Fair Lakes stands out for its planned mix of offices, homes and retail beside Interstate 66 and U.S. Route 50 in Fairfax County. Developed from the 1980s as a large master-planned district, it reflects the outward growth of the Washington metropolitan area, with everyday services clustered around Fair Lakes Shopping Center. The community lies on Northern Virginia’s Piedmont, within the Chesapeake Bay watershed, rather than in the capital’s dense urban core. Nearby in Chantilly, the Smithsonian’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center adds a major aviation and space museum to this business-oriented setting. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Northern Virginia connects regionally.
