Springfield Real Estate - Lots of Great Property Options
Springfield real estate is comprised of a variety of housing options, although you’ll find a lot of single family homes and townhomes. Springfield residents often commute to work in DC, as the community is fairly centrally located. This means that there are a good number of small neighborhoods close to the highways, as well as some gated communities.
Like most of the DC area, Springfield is known for its history. The city was originally founded as a railroad station. Most of the population came to the area because of the convenient highway locations. Many Springfield homes started being built in the 1940s, but the area stayed rural until more shopping opportunities started coming to the area. When Springfield Mall opened, the area became significantly more popular.
