Clifton VA Homes

Only 30 miles from Washington D.C., Clifton, Virginia exudes small town charm. Main Street features a general store, family owned shops and restaurants, barrels of gorgeous flowers, and expertly preserved historical homes surrounded by white picket fences. Originally named Devereux Station, Clifton was founded during the Civil War as a railroad stop. In 1902, it was incorporated as Clifton. Over 100 years later, it looks much like it did back then, only modernized, and the residents continue to embrace the slower-paced lifestyle of the residents from historical times.
