About Southport
Get to Know Southport
Located in beautiful Fairfax County, Virginia, the Southport community began development in the early 1980s and is now the location for 220 single-family homes. Our neighboring communities include Lake Braddock, Signal Hill, and Kings Park.
FUN FACT: Our community was once designated as part of the new, suburban Washington DC international airport. The local citizens, though, weren’t at all happy and, after voicing their displeasure, the airport was moved to it’s current location where it’s known to all of us as Dulles International Airport. Can you imaging Dulles airport in Burke, VA? It certainly would change what we see in our backyards!
Living in Southport is also quite convenient regardless of your mode of transportation. Two shopping centers (Kings Park and Burke Village Center), our local Kings Park library and volunteer fire department, and the post office are just a mile away.
School-age children attending public school attend either Ravensworth Elementary (for grades K-6) or Lake Braddock Secondary (for grades 7-12). Southport families are fortunate to live in one of the finest schools districts in the country. The Fairfax County Public Schools district is renowned as not only one of the best in the country but is also the 10th largest districts in the United States serving nearly 190,000 students and their families.
Public transportation is also very accessible with multiple Metrobus and Fairfax Connector bus routes accessible from Burke Lake Road. Also easily accessible is the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) for those commuting into the Crystal City, VA or Washington, DC areas.
