Summary answer: Honestly, $600,000 sits well below the City of Falls Church's own median of $875,000-$1,015,000 — this scenario is more realistic for a nearby, more affordable community, or the city's rare entry-tier condo. On a $600,000 purchase, expect buyer closing costs of roughly $12,000-$18,000 before prepaid items.
I'm Johnny with JQ Real Estate. Here's exactly what's in that number, with an honest caveat about the price point.

Why the City of Falls Church's own tax rate matters here
At $1.18 per $100 of assessed value, the City of Falls Church's rate is its own — genuinely distinct from and higher than Fairfax County's $1.1225 rate that applies to nearby West Falls Church, despite the shared name.
