Zip code 20124 is Clifton, one of the most rural-feeling parts of Fairfax County. It's known for wooded lots, horse properties, and the historic Town of Clifton, a small 19th-century railroad town that still hosts the popular Clifton Day festival every fall.
As of October 12, 2026, about 20 homes, townhomes and condos are listed for sale in 20124, from about $300,000 to about $4.3 million, with an average list price of about $1.9 million. Prices and inventory change daily, so check the current listings above.
Most homes in 20124 sit on larger lots, often an acre or more, along winding roads near Popes Head Creek and the Occoquan watershed. You'll also find established subdivisions near Clifton and Union Mill roads, along with custom homes and equestrian properties. Inside the Town of Clifton itself, homes are older and full of character. Recent listings in 20124 have included homes in Balmoral Greens, Braddock Woods, Cedar Knoll and Little Rocky Run.
Clifton feels removed from the suburbs, but Route 29, I-66, and the Fairfax County Parkway are all within a short drive. The Burke Centre VRE station gives commuters a rail option into Alexandria and DC.
Downtown Clifton has a handful of restaurants and shops in historic buildings. Hemlock Overlook Regional Park and the Bull Run–Occoquan Trail offer miles of wooded trails along the water, and Burke Lake Park and Fountainhead Regional Park are both nearby.
The Town of Clifton grew up around the Orange and Alexandria Railroad in the 1800s, and its Main Street still has the look of a small rail stop. It's one of the smallest towns in Virginia, with only a few hundred residents inside town limits. Beyond the town, the Occoquan watershed protections have kept much of 20124 wooded and low-density, which is why it feels so different from nearby suburbs.
Most of 20124 is unincorporated Fairfax County, and the Town of Clifton has its own small town government. Many properties in the area use private wells and septic systems, and parts of the area are covered by large-lot zoning that protects the Occoquan Reservoir watershed. Plan for well and septic inspections, and check the FCPS Boundary Locator for school assignments.
