Summary answer: The City of Falls Church itself has no Metro station within its 2.2-square-mile boundary, but it sits directly adjacent to both the West Falls Church and East Falls Church Metro stations — giving residents a genuine, true 20-30 minute Metro commute to DC and reasonable access to the Pentagon.

Realistic commute times from the City of Falls Church
| Mode | Typical Commute |
|---|---|
| West/East Falls Church Metro (adjacent, not within city) | A genuine, true 20-30 minute commute to DC |
| Driving (I-66) | ~20-35 minutes to the Pentagon, traffic-dependent |
Why this is a genuine, distinctive advantage despite no station within city limits
Being immediately adjacent to two Metro stations, without actually containing either, is part of what makes the City of Falls Church so walkable and desirable — a real factor behind its premium pricing.
