Springfield, Virginia
Springfield is an unincorporated community in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States. Within Springfield are
three census-designated places: Springfield CDP, West Springfield CDP, and North Springfield CDP, though
all are officially titled Springfield by the United States Postal Service.
The Springfield CDP is recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau with a community population was 30,417 as
of the 2000 census.
According to USPS, Springfield has four zip codes:
22150 (often unofficially referred to as "Central Springfield")

22152 ("West Springfield" is also an acceptable title)
22153
Geography
Springfield is located at 38°47'19?N, 77°10'46?W (38.788713, -77.179363)GR1.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 25.4 km˛ (9.8 mi˛). 25.3 km˛
(9.8 mi˛) of it is land and 0.1 km˛ (0.04 mi˛) of it (0.31%) is water.
The area is centered around the interchange of I-95, I-395, and the Capital Beltway, known as the
Springfield Interchange. This massive highway complex has been undergoing reconstruction and
expansion for the past several years.[1] A significant commercial district exists around the interchange
area, although the rest of the community is primarily residential in character.
Culture
As a suburb with a particularly transient population, there is little local culture in Springfield's brief history.
It is characterized by a genuine wealth of strip malls and plazas. Some of them are quite old and have been
remodelled repeatedly over the decades due to their continuing economic viability. Springfield is popular for its
affordable multi-ethnic cuisine, including Chinese, Mexican, Afghani, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indian eateries.
Springfield is also well-known throughout the area for Fischer's Hardware, a large local hardware store with
an almost anachronistic atmosphere that thrives by providing ubiquitous and highly knowledgeable customer
service, informal referral relationships with other stores. A well known restaurant is Mike's American Grill
behind Springfield Plaza.
Currently (as of 2005), central Springfield is dominated by the over half-billion dollar Springfield Interchange
highway project. The interchange is popularly known as The Mixing Bowl since it involves three interstates,
has two exits less than a half mile away, has two unconnected roads (Commerce Street and VA-644 (Old
Keene Mill Rd / Franconia Rd)) going over or under the interstates less than a half mile away, and is further
complicated by the presence of a separate, reversible HOV lane passing through the center of two of the
interstates.
Springfield's emblematic destination point is Springfield Mall, a large indoor shopping mall. It is typical of
American shopping malls in its variety of stores, along with several "anchor" stores such as Macy's, two
movie theaters, and a food court. Springfield Mall is particularly popular with teenagers and the local
Hispanic community.
In recent years, the mall has fallen behind other area malls in aesthetics. The mall experienced two
gang-related stabbings in 2005 and has seen other violent crimes over the years.[3]
One of Springfield's premier hotspots is Jaxx Nightclub on Rolling Road and Old Keene Mill. Jaxx hosts a
variety of musical talent, from superstars to local bands and draws crowds from all over Virginia, DC and
Maryland. Parking is pretty slim, though.
Springfield remains a conservative stronghold in increasingly left-leaning Northern Virginia. This may be due
in part to the prevalence of military families living near Fort Belvoir and The Pentagon and the highly
commercial nature of the area.
