Herndon is located in Fairfax County

Population: 22,000 Located in western Fairfax County -- just minutes from Washington Dulles International Airport - Herndon is the third largest town in Virginia with a population of 22,000. It has become a hub for information technology with several companies located in Herndon at the forefront.  Although Herndon has grown into a major Northern Virginia commercial center over the last 20 years, the Town has maintained its unique sense of community and small-town charm.

One of the best examples of Herndon's blending of commerce and character is the Herndon Municipal Center complex. The $16 million complex was completed in 1995 after more than a decade of careful planning to revitalize the historic downtown and ensure it would be a thriving "people place," reminiscent of Herndon's early, bustling days as a farming village. The Herndon Municipal Center complex includes a branch of the Fairfax County library system, a government office building, the Herndon Council/Fairfax District Court meeting facility, and the Town Green for special events and concerts.

Each year, thousands of people enjoy a wide array of free concerts and special events held on the Town Green, including the Herndon Festival, Summer Concert Series, Friday Night Live, Labor Day Jazz Festival and Folk Festival.

Herndon has a variety of other outstanding recreational amenities - nine parks, the Herndon Community Center, the W&OD Bike Trail and the Herndon Centennial Golf Course. There are more than 75 restaurants offering a delicious selection of international cuisine and 11 hotels that make visitors from across the country and the world feel at home in Herndon.

Herndon takes the fun of recreation seriously. Our community is home to an 18-hole public golf course, nine parks - one within a half-mile of every home - the W&OD biking/walking trail and a community center that features an Olympic-sized pool, fitness gym, sauna, tennis and racquetball courts, an indoor tennis center and more.

Homes range as much in price as they do in style, from a one bedroom condominiums that start at $70,000 all the way to four bedroom condominiums that sell for over $1,000,000. The same is true of town houses that range from $150,000 to around $700,000. Single family homes, offering two, three and four bedrooms, start at $360,000 and can cost over $1,000,000.

The town of Herndon and the surrounding area prove to continually be an excellent choice for living. Offering country living outside the metro area, there are so many reasons why one should choose Herndon as a place to live.
