Inside the City or a Falls Church Address
The City of Falls Church covers only about two square miles, but many homes in nearby parts of Fairfax County also have a Falls Church mailing address. Whether you live inside the city limits or in a nearby neighborhood, give us your exact address so we can plan parking, access and timing.
Planning Around Broad Street and Route 29
Broad Street (Route 7) and Washington Street (Route 29) are the main roads through Falls Church, and both can be busy at rush hour. If you live on or near them, an early start often makes loading easier. Tell us if your building has a loading zone, and check whether you need to reserve it.
Help With Packing and Heavy Pieces
Older homes often hold heavy wood furniture, and many new apartments have small elevators. Tell us about large pieces like dressers, sofas and bookcases, and let us know if you would like packing help before moving day.
