Neighboring communities are Mantua to the northwest, Woodburn to the north, Annandale to the east, North Springfield to the southeast, Ravensworth and Kings Park to the south, Burke to the southwest, and Long Branch to the west. The city of Fairfax is 3 miles (5 km) to the west, and downtown Washington, D.C. is 15 miles (24 km) to the northeast.
